Re:

DearCourtney.
1wri
tein response to yourletlersdated May 4,2015and June 1,2015,and to follow up on our
phone conversation on M ay 20,2015.
Based on o4runderstanding ofthe m atter,Mr.Rossisclaim ing copyrightin certain patent
applicalions.During ourconversation on May20,you wefe unableto provide any detailsasto
how you contend Apple accessed M r.Ross'
spatentapplications,otherthanto saythatApple
copied M r.Ross's'ideas.'
l You also consrm ed thatMr.Ross'spatentapplicationswerenot
disseminated orpublished,otherthan possibly in connection wlth filingsrelating to Mr.Ross's
litigation againstthe U.S.government.
wedonotbelievethereisanysimilaritybetwyenApple'sproductsandMr.Ross'sagplications.
Any pursuitofclaim sagainstApple in lightofthese factswould be baselessand oblectively
unreasonable.SeeFogert
yv.Fantasy,lnc.94 F.3d553(9thCir,1996).We,thetefore,donot
believe there are any groundsforApple tocease any activitiesorprovide anycom pensation to
Mr.Ross.
