IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Ricoh Company, Ltd. 

(“Ricoh”) and Aeroflex Incorporated, AMI Semiconductor, Inc., Matrox Electronics Systems, Ltd., 

Matrox Graphics Inc., Matrox International Corp., Matrox Tech., Inc. and Aeroflex Colorado Springs, 

Inc. (the “Defendants”) that: 

1. A “Commercial ASIC” is any ASIC (as defined in U.S. Patent No. 4,922,432 at Col. 

1:13-17) that was, between 1997 and the present, (1) synthesized using Design Compiler for which (2) 

revenue was received and (3) one or more physical ASICs were manufactured (whether considered to

be a prototype or not). To avoid any doubt, all three criteria must be met and all three criteria must 

have occurred between 1997 and the present for an ASIC to qualify as a “Commercial ASIC.” 

2. Subject to the limitations set forth in the paragraphs below, the Defendants will identify 

and produce documents relating to Commercial ASICs synthesized between 1997 and the present by 

subsidiaries, including those ASICs for which synthesis was performed before acquisition of the 

subsidiary or its assets, for any Commercial ASIC either synthesized in the United States or sold in the 

United States, except that Commercial ASICs synthesized before an acquisition or asset purchase will 

not be identified if the acquiring party did not obtain rights to the ASICs. The Defendants will identify 

and produce documents, subject to the limitations set forth below, relating to Commercial ASICs 

synthesized by third parties provided that the synthesis was done at the request, direction or control of 

any named party. 

3. For all newly identified products, Ricoh agrees to accept production of only “product 

packages” and financial information. The “product package” for a newly identified Commercial ASIC 

will include, to the extent it exists and is within the producing Defendant’s possession, custody or 

control, the (1) script(s), including DC setup files, (2) inputs, including RTL inputs,1 (3) technology 

library(ies), (4) log file(s) and (5) netlist(s) for the newly identified Commercial ASIC. 

4. For all newly identified Commercial ASICs, the Defendants agree to produce financial 

documents including sales and cost information to the extent such information exists and is within the 

producing Defendant’s possession, custody or control, with the following qualification: if all synthesis 

was done in the United States, or the RTL or technology library was supplied from the United States, 

or the netlist or mask data was shipped into the United States for manufacturing, then the producing 

Defendant will produce worldwide sales information for the newly identified Commercial ASIC. 

Otherwise, the producing Defendant will produce only information regarding sales in the United 

States. 

 

1 The Defendants shall determine whether any third party, non-Synopsys software (e.g., a flowchart translator) was used to 

convert an input specification to RTL. If so, the Defendants shall identify such third party software and produce the input 

specification and the converted RTL.

5. The Defendants will update their product declarations and library declarations (to the 

extent such updates are called for by newly identified ASICs) by May 10. 

6. The Defendants will make good faith efforts to produce all documents by May 15. The 

product packages will be produced in an electronically searchable format. The financial documents 

will be produced in bates labeled and a native electronic format, to the extent such format exists. 

7. To the extent that a particular Defendant does not have a complete product package or 

financial information for a newly identified ASIC, the Defendant will inform Ricoh that it does not 

have such information. To the extent the Defendant knows if such information is in the possession, 

custody, and control of a third party, it will identify such third party. To the extent that responsive 

information is the possession, custody or control of third parties known to the Defendants, the 

Defendants will cooperate in good faith in assisting Ricoh to obtain such information by requesting 

that the third party provide such information to it. Ricoh, however, understands that the Defendants’ 

obligations under this Stipulation are limited to making good faith requests. 

8. The Defendants will make good faith efforts to provide additional 30(b)(6) deponents 

before June 9. The Defendants will work in good faith to try to schedule depositions such that all or 

most of the 30(b)(6) deponents are produced in one location in a one week period. 

9. This Stipulation resolves the issues raised by Ricoh’s Motion for Sanctions filed on 

February 21, 2006. If the Defendants fail to perform in accordance with any of the terms of this 

Stipulation, Ricoh reserves the right to seek evidentiary, monetary, or other sanctions. 

10. To the extent that new Commercial ASICs are identified, Ricoh and the Defendants 

agree that Ricoh’s Final Infringement Contentions served on March 24, 2006 shall, in substantial part, 

satisfy Ricoh’s obligations to produce Final Infringement Contentions with regard to the newly 

identified Commercial ASICs. Ricoh, however, shall supplement its Final Infringement Contentions 

for each newly identified Commercial ASIC by identifying only the inputs that satisfy the following 

elements of claim 13: “storing data describing a set of available integrated circuit hardware cells for 

performing the actions and conditions defined in the stored set” and “describing for a proposed 

application specific integrated circuit a series of architecture independent actions and conditions.” To 

the extent that the Defendants produced declarations, documents, and deponents as set forth above,
