TO THE CLERK OF THE ABOVE-ENTITLED COURT AND COUNSEL OF 

RECORD FOR ALL PARTIES: 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Plaintiff BenQ America Corp. voluntarily 

dismisses all claims against Defendant STMicroelectronics Asia Pacific Pte Ltd. (“ST 

Singapore”) without prejudice, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1). See Wilson 

v. City of San Jose, 111 F.3d 688, 692 (9th Cir. 1997); Concha v. London, 62 F.3d 1493, 1506 

(9th Cir. 1995); Pedrina v. Chun, 987 F.2d 608, 610-11 (9th Cir. 1993). Plaintiff’s dismissal is 

based on the fact that Thomson Licensing S.A. has apparently abandoned its claim of 

infringement based on the sale by BenQ America of products incorporating an integrated circuit 

chip from ST Singapore. 

Accordingly, Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court vacate the hearing 

scheduled for September 7, 2005 on ST Singapore’s motion to dismiss.
