I, Judy Pettersen declare the following:
`
`1.
`
`I am a citizen of Canada, and reside at 390 Queen Street, Flin Flon,
`
`Manitoba, Canada. My husband and I founded a company, 3419356
`
`Manitoba Ltd, which operated as Pettersen Infant Products Ltd from
`
`October 1989 through December 2014. Pettersen Infant Products Ltd. is
`
`no longer an operating entity. At all relevant times, I was an owner of
`
`Pettersen Infant Products Ltd., and was involved in the design,
`
`development, and distribution of all of its products.
`
`2.
`
`I make the following statements based on personal knowledge and
`
`records kept by Pettersen Infant Products Ltd in the ordinary course of
`
`business.
`
`3.
`
`Pettersen Infant Products Ltd. produced and distributed a baby carrier
`
`that I designed that was commercially known as the babyTrekker. I made
`
`the first babyTrekker in January 1987 for use with my daughter, who was
`
`born in 1986.
`
`4.
`
`By October 1989, Pettersen Infant Products Ltd. had begun distributing
`
`and selling the babyTrekker through a combination of mail order and
`
`specialty retailers.
`
`5.
`
`By at least late 1998, Pettersen Infant Products launched a website for the
`
`babyTrekker, www.babytrekker.com (“the babyTrekker Website”),
`
`Petitioner Ex. 1019 Page 1
`
`

`
`which contained product information and permitted online orders of the
`
`babyTrekker. A web archive of the “Home” page of the babyTrekker
`
`Website as of December 3, 1998 is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`6.
`
`It was the standard practice of Pettersen Infant Products Ltd. to include a
`
`printed instruction manual with each baby carrier sold, whether in the
`
`United States or around the world. This practice was in effect during all
`
`relevant times in which the babyTrekker was sold, which was from 1989
`
`to 2014.
`
`7.
`
`Exhibit B is a copy of the babyTrekker printed manual that I distributed
`
`with the babyTrekker by at least 1998. This manual was distributed
`
`without any confidentiality restrictions. The last page of the manual
`
`contains a stamp “©1998,” which
`
`I applied
`
`to
`
`the manual
`
`contemporaneous with its distribution in 1998. It was my standard
`
`practice to stamp each manual with the year in which it was printed.
`
`8.
`
`By at least July 6, 2000, the babyTrekker Website also contained a link to
`
`download the product manual. Exhibit C contains web archive printouts
`
`of the babyTrekker Website as of July 6, 2000 and August 3, 2001, each
`
`of which shows a link to the manual existing as of that date with the
`
`instruction, “Download the BabyTrekker manual in PDF format.”
`
`Petitioner Ex. 1019 Page 2
`
`

`
`9.
`
`The web archive printout of the babyTrekker website link to the online
`
`manual from April 2003 is attached as Exhibit D, and is identical to the
`
`printed version stamped “©1998.” Further, the metadata indicates that
`
`this document was “last modified” on July 26, 1999, as shown in Exhibit
`
`E. This is consistent with my personal knowledge that the manual
`
`attached as Exhibit B was distributed with the babyTrekker between 1998
`
`and at least April 2003, and further publicly available for download
`
`without confidentiality restrictions on the babyTrekker Website from July
`
`2000 to at least April 2003.
`
`10.
`
`I estimate that, between 1998 and by September 2002, Pettersen Infant
`
`Products sold thousands of babyTrekkers, including sales to customers in
`
`the United States, each of which were distributed along with the product
`
`manual shown in Exhibit B. Exhibit F is a web archive of the
`
`babyTrekker Website as of February 18, 1999, which shows that the
`
`babyTrekker was for sale in the United States for $65.00 through the
`
`website.
`
`I hereby declare that all statements made herein of my own knowledge are true and
`
`made under penalty of perjury; and further that these statements were made with
`
`the knowledge that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by
`
`Petitioner Ex. 1019 Page 3
`
`

`
`fine and/or imprisonment, or both, undet Section 1001 of Title 18 of the United
`
`States Code.

`The Baby Trekker
`
`The Baby Trekker goes on
`and off in seconds, without
`waking a sleeping baby.
`Baby's weight is evenly
`distributed to eliminate back and
`neck strain.
`Five positions include
`regular, outward facing, nursing,
`and two back pack.
`
`
`
`The nursing position is great for those
`times when baby can't wait, and mom can't
`either!

`waistband will follow. Then stuff the shoulder straps in and slip the
`handle over your wrist, stroller handle, or store for future use.

`

`
`COMFORT AND SAFETY TIPS!
`
`Make the first try with the baby a happy time. Practice all positions
`with a teddy bear or a cushion first.
`
`Eating hot food or drink in the front position of a carrier is risky.
`
`Always use the backpack position for cooking and baking. When
`facing baby out, make sure that baby is not in danger of reaching
`hot, sharp, or other dangerous objects.
`
`Never use a carrier while operating or riding in vehicles, bicycles,
`
`skateboards etc.
`
`Give baby extra protection from sun or cold eg. blanket, hat, mittens.
`
`Babies can move more than they can in a sling. Change the baby's
`position in the TREKKER about every 45 minutes.
`
`Shoulder straps can dangle or you can roll them with the D rings
`inside and tuck between you and baby.
`
`Plastic packaging is dangerous. Please recycle ours. It unable to
`store safely for _reuse please discard immediately.

`FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!
`
`My babys too short but she wants to face out. How can lmodify it?
`See page 6 SHORT lN THE TREKKER for directions.
`
`Will my baby slip from the Trekker?
`See page 3 BASIC TREKKER POSITION for babies younger than four months.
`
`We always had a bad back!
`Many chiropractors consider the BABY TREKKER the perfect carrier
`for this situation because the baby’s weight is distributed equally
`between your waist and your shoulders. Baby needs to be held up
`high and done up snugly so as to put the least stress on your back.
`Babies like to hear your heart beat, not your stomach gurgle.
`Shoulder straps should fit in the hollow of your shoulders not against
`your neck. Waist band needs to be snug.
`
`My baby likes to suck on the top of the carrier. How can lkeep clean?
`See BIBS in ACCESSORIES.
`
`How can I cope with a crawling baby when using the back pack position?
`Once baby is laying on the TREKKER with baby’s arms through the
`loop space, hold the shoulder straps of the carrier together so that
`baby can't crawl out. With one arm through both straps, fasten waist
`band. Then take your arm out and put it in the proper space, and lift
`baby into position.
`
`In the Backpack Position, my husband likes me to help him cross
`the chest straps in front. is there another way to make him feel as
`secure?
`
`See CHEST STRAPS in ACCESSORIES.
`
`How do I wash my BABY TFIEKKER?
`Wash and dry carrier on warm setting. Use half of cup of salt or
`vinegar for first washing to lock in colour. Use no bleach and
`do not dry clean!

`he BabyTrekker is a 5 position baby carrier. It is versatile, extremely well built, and
`most of all comfortable!
`The BabyTrekker has garnished rave reviews. Many owners call us back to tell us that
`they can carry their child for hours without back fatigue because of the patented
`design. It has a padded waist belt along with the shoulder straps and this enables the
`baby's weight to be distributed evenly. The Trekker has a convenient pocket built into
`the front to hold keys, wallets, diapers or recieving blankets. It also comes with a
`piece of matching material with a velcro fastener. This is to protect the front of the
`carrier from drool, spit up, etc. In this way, you won't have to wash the entire carrier
`all the time. Other carriers don't have these features. It is obvious this carrier was well
`thought out by a mom.

`
`he BabyTrekker is a 5 position baby carrier. It is versatile, extremely well
`built, and most of all comfortable!
`
`The BabyTrekker has garnished rave reviews. Many owners call us back to
`tell us that they can carry their child for hours without back fatigue because of
`the patented design. It has a padded waist belt along with the shoulder straps
`and this enables the baby's weight to be distributed evenly. The Trekker has a
`convenient pocket built into the front to hold keys, wallets, diapers or recieving
`blankets. It also comes with a piece of matching material with a velcro
`fastener. This is to protect the front of the carrier from drool, spit up, etc. In
`this way, you won't have to wash the entire carrier all the time. Other carriers
`don't have these features. It is obvious this carrier was well thought out by a
`mom.

`
`C O M F O RT AND SAFETY TIPS!
`
`M a ke the first try with the baby a happy time. P ractice all positions
`with a teddy bear or a cushion first.
`
`Eating hot food or drink in the front position of a carrier is ri s k y.
`
`A l ways use the back p a ck position for cooking and baking. When
`facing baby out, make sure that baby is not in danger of reaching
`hot, sharp, or other dangerous objects.
`
`N ever use a carrier while operating or riding in ve h i c l e s, bicycles,
`skateboards etc.
`
`G i ve baby ex t ra protection from sun or cold eg. bl a n ket, hat, mittens.
`
`Babies can move more than they can in a sling. Change the baby ’s
`position in the T R E K K E R about eve ry 45 minu t e s.
`
`Shoulder straps can dangle or you can roll them with the D ri n g s
`inside and tuck between you and baby.
`
`Plastic packaging is dangerous. Please recycle ours. If unable to
`store safely for reuse please discard immediately.

`
`F R E QU E N T LY ASKED QUESTIONS!
`
`My baby ’s too short but she wants to face out. H ow can I modify it?
`See page 6 S H O RT I N T H E T R E K K E R for directions.
`
`Will my baby slip from the Tr e k ker?
`See page 3 B A S I C T R E K K E R P O S I T I O N for babies younger than four months.
`
`I ’ ve always had a bad back!
`M a ny chiropractors consider the BABY TREKKER the perfect carri e r
`for this situation because the baby ’s weight is distri buted equally
`b e t ween your waist and your shoulders. B a by needs to be held up
`high and done up snugly so as to put the least stress on your back .
`Babies like to hear your heart beat, not your stomach gurgle.
`Shoulder straps should fit in the hollow of your shoulders not against
`your neck . Waist band needs to be snu g .
`
`My baby likes to suck on the top of the carri e r. H ow can I keep clean?
`See B I B S in AC C E S S O R I E S.
`
`H ow can I cope with a crawling baby when using the back pack position?
`Once baby is laying on the T R E K K E R with baby ’s arms through the
`loop space, hold the shoulder straps of the carrier together so that
`b a by can’t crawl out. With one arm through both stra p s, fasten wa i s t
`b a n d . Then take your arm out and put it in the proper space, and lift
`b a by into position.
`
`In the Back p a ck Position, my husband likes me to help him cross the
`chest straps in front. Is there another way to make him feel as secure?
`See C H E S T S T R A P S in AC C E S S O R I E S.
`
`H ow do I wash my BABY T R E K K E R ?
`Wash and dry carrier on warm setting. Use half of cup of salt or
`vinegar for first washing to lock in colour. Use no bl e a ch and do
`not dry cl e a n !
