Infringement, including all claims against QSI relating to infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 

5,535,008, 5,862,115, and 6,141,491, are dismissed with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) as to acts that occurred prior to entry of this order and future acts that 

occur while the Agreement is in effect. JVC’s claims against QCI as set forth in its Amended 

Complaint for Patent Infringement, including all claims against QCI relating to infringement of 

U.S. Patent Nos. 5,535,008, 5,862,115, and 6,141,491, are dismissed with prejudice as to acts that 

occurred prior to entry of this order, and without prejudice as to acts that occur after entry of this

2. QSI’s Answers and Counterclaims to Amended Complaint, including all 

claims relating to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,535,008, 5,862,115, and 6,141,491, are dismissed with 

prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1).

Agreement.
