PATENT /Case No. 5:08-cv-00882 (JF) - 2 - 23129\2185528.2

WHEREAS plaintiffs HTC Corporation and HTC America, Inc. (collectively “HTC”) 

filed a First Amended Complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that HTC did not infringe any 

valid and enforceable claim of U.S. Patent No. 5,784,584 (“’584 patent”); 

WHEREAS defendants Technology Properties Limited, Patriot Scientific Corporation, 

and Alliacense Limited (collectively “TPL”) filed an Answer denying HTC’s averment that HTC 

did not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the ’584 patent but did not assert a 

counterclaim based on that patent; 

WHEREAS, in the related action, Barco N.V. v. Technology Properties Limited, et al., 

Case No. 08-05398 JF, TPL moved to dismiss the ‘584 patent and proffered a covenant-not-tosue. Based on the covenant, the Court granted TPL’s motion to dismiss the ‘584 patent on 

February 19, 2010; 

WHEREAS TPL has offered and hereby provides to HTC a covenant-not-to-sue with 

respect to the ’584 patent, which is reproduced in its entirety below; and 

WHEREAS in light of TPL’s covenant-not-to-sue, HTC has agreed to dismiss its 

declaratory judgment claim as to the ’584 patent on the terms set forth below; 

NOW, THEREFORE, TPL and HTC, by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby 

stipulate, and respectfully request that the Court order, as follows: 

1. TPL has provided the following covenant-not-to-sue to HTC, which the Court 

hereby approves: Technology Properties Limited and Patriot Scientific Corporation, each on 

behalf of itself and any successors-in-interest to U.S. Patent No. 5,784,584 (“the ’584 patent”), 

hereby unconditionally and irrevocably covenant not to assert at any time any claim of patent 

infringement including direct infringement, contributory infringement and/or inducing 

infringement against HTC Corporation and HTC America, Inc. (collectively “HTC”) under any 

claim of the ’584 patent as they currently read, and any claim in any reissued or reexamined 

version of the ’584 patent that is the same as, or substantially identical to, any claim of the ’584 

patent as it currently reads, against any products made, used, offered for sale, sold, or imported 

into the United States by HTC currently or at any time prior to the date of this covenant. 

2. In light of TPL’s covenant-not-to-sue with respect to the ’584 patent, the Second
