STATE LAW TRADE SECRET CLAIMS

CASE NO. C 06-03276 MHP

On July 25, 2006, the Court held a telephonic Case Management Conference in the abovereferenced matter. Present on the call were: (1) Claude M. Stern and Brian C. Cannon on behalf 

of Plaintiff and Counterdefendant Symyx Technologies, Inc. (“Symyx”) and Counterdefendant 

Isy Goldwasser; (2) Ronald S. Katz and Christopher L. Wanger on behalf of Defendant and 

Counterclaimant Intematix Corporation (“Intematix”), and (3) Matthew Rawlinson on behalf of 

Counterdefendants Intermolecular, Inc. (“Intermolecular”) and David Lazovsky. 

Having considered the files and records of the case, and the arguments presented during 

the Conference, the Court now finds that all non-patent claims and counterclaims in this matter 

should be tried in the action pending in the California Superior Court for Alameda County 

entitled Intematix Corporation v. Symyx Technologies, Inc. (Alameda County Sup. Ct. Case No. 

RG 06273044) (the “State Court Action”). Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 

(1) The Sixth Claim for Relief for a Declaratory Judgment Regarding Trade Secret 

Misappropriation in the First Amended Complaint of Symyx is hereby dismissed 

without prejudice. This dismissal without prejudice is made without an 

adjudication on the merits and shall have no res judicata or collateral estoppel 

effect on the claim. 

(2) Count One (Trade Secret Misappropriation under Civil Code Section 3426 et seq. 

against all Counterdefendants), Count Two (Unfair Competition under Business & 

Professions Code Section 17200 against all Counterdefendants), and Count Three 

(Common Law Misappropriation and Unfair Competition against all 

Counterdefendants) of Intematix’s Counterclaim are hereby dismissed without 

prejudice. This dismissal without prejudice is made without an adjudication on the 

merits and shall have no res judicata or collateral estoppel effect on the claims. 

(3) Intematix Corporation’s Motion to Shorten the Time By Which It Can Conduct 

Discovery on its Trade Secret Counterclaims, currently listed as Docket No. 14, is 

hereby moot. 

(4) Any documents or other information produced or disclosed in this action shall be 

considered produced in the State Court Action, and all documents or other
