IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

AUTODESK, INC., a Delaware corporation,

Plaintiff,

 v.

DASSAULT SYSTÈMES SOLIDWORKS

CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation,

Defendant. /

No. C 08-04397 WHA

JOINT CONSENT JUDGMENT

At the joint request of the parties, the Court enters this Consent Judgment:

1. In this action, Plaintiff Autodesk, Inc. (“Autodesk”) sued Dassault Systèmes

SolidWorks Corp. (“SolidWorks”), asserting various claims of trademark infringement, false

designation of origin, unfair competition, and false advertising. The operative complaint is the

First Amended Complaint, filed January 23, 2009 (the “FAC”). SolidWorks filed an Answer and

Counterclaims to the FAC, and as a second claim for relief, sought a declaration concerning the

validity or ownership of the letter string “DWG.”

2. The parties stipulate that the letter string “DWG” is a valid trademark owned by

Autodesk for computer-aided design (CAD) software and related services, as alleged by Autodesk

in the FAC. Based on that stipulation, the Court will enforce the stipulation between the parties

without adjudicating the issue on the merits.
