- 2 - STIP. RE FINAL INFRINGEMENT & INVALIDITY

CONTENTIONS - Case No. C 08-4567 CW (EDL)

WHEREAS, Defendant and Counterclaimant O2 Micro International Limited (“O2 Micro”) 

asserts it has good cause to serve “Final Infringement Contentions” as a result of the Court’s Claim 

Construction Order (Docket No. 285); and 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff and Counterclaim Defendant Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. 

(“MPS”) and Counterclaim Defendants ASUSTeK Computer Inc. and Asus Computer International 

(collectively “ASUS”) will not dispute O2 Micro’s assertion, but assert their right to serve Final 

Invalidity Contentions in light of the Court’s Claim Construction Order and O2 Micro’s “Final 

Infringement Contentions”; and 

WHEREAS, O2 Micro submitted its proposed “Final Infringement Contentions” to the Court 

as part of its March 25, 2010 “Motion to Serve Final Infringement Contentions”; and 

WHEREAS, O2 Micro has confirmed that it is not pursuing a theory of infringement based 

upon the Doctrine of Equivalents as to any patent claim or any accused product; and 

WHEREAS, MPS and ASUS intend to serve their “Final Invalidity Contentions” within 

twenty-one (21) days from the date the Court approves this stipulation; and 

WHEREAS, MPS and ASUS do not intend to assert new prior art, i.e., prior art that has not 

previously been identified by way of their preliminary invalidity contentions, in expert reports, at 

depositions, and/or during the course of the ITC proceeding, as part of their “Final Invalidity 

Contentions”; and 

WHEREAS, the parties will not seek to reopen discovery as a result of their respective Final 

Contentions. 

IT IS STIPULATED that: 

(1) The Final Infringement Contentions that O2 Micro submitted to the Court on 

March 25, 2010 shall be deemed its final infringement contentions; 

(2) MPS and ASUS shall serve their Final Invalidity Contentions within twentyone (21) days of the date this Court approves this stipulation; and 

(3) These Final Contentions shall not be a reason for any party to ask that 

discovery be reopened.
