L.R. 7-12 JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER LIMITING LEGAL EXPERT TESTIMONY

(CIVIL ACTION NO. C05 00686 SBA)

The parties to the above action have met and conferred and as a result hereby enter into

the following joint stipulation:

To the extent legal expert or patent practice expert testimony from Mr. Lawrence J.

Goffney, Jr. or Prof. Martin Adelman, or from any other legal or patent practice expert, is

permitted by the Court that testimony will be limited to the issue of the prosecution of the ‘973

Patent. Neither side will seek to offer legal or patent practice expert testimony on any other

issue, and, in particular, there will be no such expert testimony related to willfulness issues by

either party.

This stipulation is entered into solely for the purpose of narrowing the issues for expert

discovery and deposition and shall not be deemed to be an admission of, nor used by either party

in support of any arguments for or against, the following positions as have been previously set

forth by the parties:

1) Nidec’s position that legal expert or patent practice expert testimony is not necessary,

applicable or permissible on any issue in this action;

2) JVC’s position that Nidec should not be permitted to offer any testimony from Prof.

Adelman due to the alleged failure to provide an adequate expert report;

3) Nidec’s position that it is entitled to present rebuttal testimony from Prof. Adelman to

the extent that the Court permits testimony from Mr. Goffney on the ‘973 Patent prosecution.

The parties have agreed that these questions will be resolved at a later date in the course of

the pretrial procedures.

This stipulation does not preclude use of the testimony given by the patent prosecution

attorneys nor does it preclude the technical experts in the case from testifying about the

prosecution histories of any or all of the patents in suit.

In addition, the parties agree that to the extent the deposition of either legal expert occurs

by agreement after July 20, 2007, neither party will use the fact of such deposition occurring after

that date as a basis for arguing for an extension of any other date or a delay in the trial date.
