1 STIPULATED DISMISSAL OF 1ST COUNT OF 3RD 

AMENDED COMPLAINT

Case No. C 04-2000 CW (EDL)

HOWREY LLP 

O2 Micro International Limited (“O2 Micro”), plaintiff in Case No. C 06 2929 CW, does 

hereby stipulate to dismissal of Count One of Plaintiff’s Third Amended Complaint for Patent 

Infringement and Unfair Competition. The dismissal is with prejudice to O2 Micro reasserting United 

States Patent No. 6,804,129 (“the ‘129 patent”) against the named defendants as to those products 

identified in O2 Micro’s Amended Disclosure of Asserted Claims and Preliminary Infringement 

Contentions Pursuant to Patent Rule 3-1. Specifically, O2 Micro covenants not to assert or reassert its 

‘129 patent against named defendants for infringement by MPS full bridge inverter controllers (and 

products incorporating said controllers) made, used, imported, offered for sale or sold previously or 

currently having product designations MP1010, MP1010B, MP1011, MP1012, MP1013, MP1015, 

MP1016, MP1018, MP1022, MP1023, MP1024, MP1025, MP1026, MP1027, MP1029, MP1030, 

MP1031, MP1032, MP1035 and MP1038, evaluation boards EV0001, EV0002, EV0003, EV0004, 

EV0014, EV0017, EV0019, EV0027, EV0031 and EV0037 incorporating certain of those inverter 

controllers, Asustek products incorporating the MP1010B, MP1011, MP1015 and/or MP1037 inverter 

controller chips, and Compal’s products incorporating the MP1010, MP1010B, MP1015, MP1016, 

and/or MP1037 inverter chips. O2 Micro does not intend this stipulation to apply to any parties other 

than those expressly identified herein and does not intend this stipulation to have preclusive effect 

(such as collateral estoppel or res judicata) as to any issue or claim asserted in the future except as 

expressly set forth herein.
