WHEREAS, the Court, in its December 16, 2010 Order on Motions in Limine and 

for Pre-Trial Preparation, directed the Parties to attempt to stipulate regarding, inter alia, (a) the 

use of combined, singular references at trial to multiple entities within a particular current or 

former Defendant corporate family; and (b) the process for taking into account prior settlements in 

calculating the final amount of any damage awards that may be entered in these actions; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred on these and other issues directed 

by the Court, and have reached agreement as set forth below; 

NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated by the undersigned counsel on behalf 

of the Parties identified below, and subject to the Court’s approval, that: 

1. The Parties stipulate and agree that at trial and in the special verdict forms, 

the Parties may refer to each set of Defendants or former co-Defendants from a single corporate 

family by using a single corporate family name (e.g., "Samsung" as a collective reference to both 

Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. and Samsung Semiconductor, Inc.). The Parties, however, 

reserve the right to present testimony and argument that distinguishes between members of a 

particular corporate family, as may be necessary at trial. 

2. The Parties further stipulate and agree that, in the event of a jury verdict 

awarding damages, Defendants will be entitled to a setoff (i.e., a reduction) based on prior 

settlements. The nature and amounts of such setoffs shall be determined by the Court post-verdict 

and pre-judgment. 

Dated: December 28, 2010 Respectfully submitted,
