CASE NO. 15-CV-04307-EMC

[PROPOSED] STIPULATION AND 

ORDER RE: REPRESENTATIVE 

ACCUSED PRODUCTS 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs LSI Corporation, Agere Systems LLC, and Avago Technologies 

General (IP) Singapore Pte. Ltd. (collectively “Avago”) and Defendants Funai Electric Co., Ltd.; 

Funai Corporation, Inc.; P&F USA, Inc.; and Funai Service Corporation (collectively “Funai”) 

hereby stipulate that the accused products shall be organized into product groups 1-7 for the 

accused WiFi Funai products and product groups 8-19 for the accused MPEG Funai products 

(“Product Groups”), as identified in the table below. Each Product Group includes one accused 

device that is representative of all of the accused devices within that particular Product Group. 

Each representative product is identified in the “Representative Product Model Number” column 

in the table. The parties agree that each representative product shall be representative of all

accused devices in the respective Product Group for all purposes in this case, including for 

infringement purposes and for discovery purposes. 

The parties agree that, if infringement of a patent claim is found for a Representative 

Product Model in a certain Product Group, then all accused products in that specific Product 

Group infringe that specific patent claim. Similarly, the parties agree that, if no infringement of a 

patent claim is found for a Representative Product Model in a certain Product Group, then all 

accused products in that specific Product Group do not infringe that specific patent claim. 

The parties also agree that technical infringement discovery (written or otherwise) shall be 

limited to the representative model numbers identified in the “Representative Product Model 

Number” column in the below table, and the Plaintiffs shall not seek technical infringement 

discovery on any other products, whether previously identified or identified in the future, subject 

to the additional provisions set forth below. For example, the Patent L.R. 3-4(a) document 

production shall only require production of documents for the representative model numbers 

identified in the “Representative Product Model Number” column in the below table.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Funai’s document production pursuant to Patent L.R. 3-

4(a) shall include documents sufficient to identify all relevant third-party components contained 

within each product listed herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon 30 days written notice Avago may request technical 

documentation for one additional product in each category for the purpose of confirming that the 

representative product model for that category properly represents each of the products in that 

category. Further, Avago may seek additional technical documentation of additional products in 

any category upon a showing of good cause that there is a substantial question as to whether the 

representative product model properly represents each of the products in a particular category. 

Funai represents that the products listed herein include (1) all WiFi enabled products 

imported/sold by at least one accused Funai entity since March 2006 that incorporate nonlicensed WiFi chips and (2) all products imported or sold by at least one accused Funai entity in 

the U.S. since October 1, 2015 that incorporate MPEG chips. Funai represents that “non-licensed 

WiFi chips” means chips whose supplier does not have a license to the ’958 patent, ’867 patent, 

and ’148 patent. The list does not include Funai products that incorporate WiFi chips supplied by 

Realtek Semiconductor Corporation. Funai is also currently verifying certain information related 

to whether any of the defendants has ever imported products incorporating MPEG chips and/or 

WiFi enabled product(s) into the United States for a product line that has never been made, sold 

or offered for sale by any of the defendants during the relevant time periods discussed 

above. Funai will provide updates related to this verification, if any, and additional 3-4 

documentation, if necessary, on or before January 15, 2016. 

Avago admits and confirms that it is not accusing any Funai products containing WiFi 

chips supplied by Realtek Semiconductor Corporation of infringement of the ‘148 Patent, the 

‘867 Patent and the ‘958 Patent. Avago reserves the right to confirm that products not identified 

in this stipulation contain WiFi chips supplied by Realtek Semiconductor Corporation through 

appropriate discovery. 

To the extent requested by Avago, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6), Funai shall make 

available one or more witnesses competent to testify concerning the subject matter of this 

stipulation, including without limitation non-privileged information regarding the manner in 

which the Product Groups were determined, the basis for determining common functionality 

within the Product Groups, and the basis for Funai’s conclusion that any WiFi chips are licensed.

Nothing in this stipulation precludes, limits, or otherwise prejudices any party’s ability to 

take discovery from third parties. 

Nothing in this stipulation precludes, limits, or otherwise prejudices any party’s ability to 

take non-technical discovery related to all products identified herein. 

Avago reserves the right to seek to vacate this Stipulation for good cause, which would 

include a finding of multiple, material errors regarding the designation of Representative Product 

Models after January 15, 2016. 

 This stipulation is limited solely to whether the accused product actually infringes or does 

not infringe and is not an admission that any particular accused Funai entity made, used, sold, 

offered for sale or imported for sale the product or that Avago is entitled to damages based on one 

of the Funai entities making, using selling, offering for sale or importing for sale the product (e.g., 

a product could be found to infringe but Avago be barred from recovery based on one of the other 

asserted defenses raised by Funai). 

 Funai reserves the right to make modifications and additions to the Representative Product 

Models and the members of the Product Groups in good faith and if not unduly prejudicial up to 

90 days before the fact discovery cut-off (or by stipulation at any point). Funai also reserves the 

right to eliminate products in the event of changes in facts or circumstances, e.g., additional 

licenses, elimination of products from infringement contentions, et cetera. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED, through Counsel of Record.
