Joint Notice And [Proposed] Order Re ADR 

Compliance 

-2- Case No. C 05-01507 WHA

On September 30, 2005, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 16-8 and ADR Local Rule 3-5, plaintiff 

Siliconix incorporated and defendants DENSO CORPORATION and TD SCAN (U.S.A.) INC. 

(collectively “the Parties”) elected private mediation as the ADR process for Case No. C 05-01507 

WHA (then MHP). 

On October 3, 2005 the Honorable Marilyn H. Patel referred the Parties to private mediation. 

The Parties subsequently chose to mediate before the Honorable Layn Phillips (retired). The Parties 

filed a Stipulation with this Court (the Honorable William H. Alsup) on November 1, 2005 regarding 

the private mediation. On November 2, 2005, this Court approved that stipulation by Order, 

approving the referral to private mediation and ordering the parties to update this Court regarding 

settlement five days following the mediation. 

On December 15, 2005 at the Initial Status Conference before this Court, the Parties again 

informed this Court that they had elected private mediation and were scheduled to mediate before 

the Honorable Layn Phillips on February 24, 2006. 

In January and February, 2006, under the direction of Judge Phillips, the Parties prepared 

opening mediation briefs and reply mediation briefs in preparation for a February 24, 2006 

mediation. During this time, the Parties also met several times privately in Japan and the 

United States to discuss potential settlement of their disputes. 

On February 23, 2006, the Court referred this case to Magistrate Judge Joseph C. Spero for 

court administered mediation and settlement discussions. 

On February 24, 2006, the Parties attended a mediation before Judge Phillips in Orange 

County, California. Representatives from all Parties, including those from Japan and the 

San Francisco Bay area, traveled to Judge Phillips’ Orange County office for the mediation. The 

Parties were unable to settle their dispute at the mediation on February 24, 2006.
