(Case No. C 03-4871 JW)

-1-

On October 31, 2003, PixArt Imaging Inc. ("PixArt") initiated this action by filing a 

complaint against Agilent Technologies, Inc. ("Agilent"), alleging that U.S. Patent No. 6,433,780 

(the "'780 patent"), entitled "Seeing Eye Mouse For A Computer System," is not infringed by 

PixArt and is invalid regardless. On December 23, 2003, Agilent filed a counterclaim against 

PixArt, alleging that the '780 patent is valid and infringed by PixArt. On October 22, 2004, 

Agilent filed amended counterclaims against PixArt, alleging validity and infringement of the 

following patents, which at the time were assigned to Agilent: U.S. Patent No. 5,686,720 (the 

"'720 patent"), entitled "Method and Device for Achieving High Contrast Surface Illumination"; 

and U.S. Patent No. 5,786,804 (the "'804 patent"), entitled "Method and System for Tracking 

Attitude." On November 5, 2004, PixArt replied to these amended counterclaims. On November 

10, 2005, Agilent filed further amended counterclaims alleging validity and infringement of U.S. 

Patent No. 6,950,094 (the "'094 patent"), which is a continuation of the '780 patent. On November 

28, 2005, PixArt replied to these further amended counterclaims.

Agilent represents that its entire right, title, and interest in the patents-in-suit has been 

transferred and assigned to Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) PTE Ltd. and Avago 

Technologies ECBU IP (Singapore) PTE Ltd., both companies being organized and incorporated 

under the laws of Singapore. Accordingly, Agilent represents that it no longer has any interest in 

this litigation.

Therefore, the parties to this action, through their respective attorneys of record, stipulate 

and agree as follows:

(1) Agilent Technologies, Inc., is no longer a party to this action as it has represented that 

its entire right, title, and interest in the patents-in-suit has been transferred and assigned to Avago 

Technologies General IP (Singapore) PTE Ltd. and Avago Technologies ECBU IP (Singapore) 

PTE Ltd.

(2) Avago Technologies General IP (Singapore) PTE Ltd. and Avago Technologies ECBU 

IP (Singapore) PTE Ltd. are jointly substituted as parties to this action in place of Agilent 

Technologies, Inc., pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 25(c).
