`

`
`1. Petitioner’s claims shall be assessed at zero.
`
`Decision
`
`2. Costs for reorganization claim assessment procedure shall be burdened by the
`
`Petitioner.
`
`
`
`Reason
`
`1.
`
`The Petitioner filed in the corporate reorganization procedure of Micron
`
`Memory Japan, Inc. (formerly “Elpida Memory, Inc.”) (i) the claims seeking for recovery
`
`of damages incurred by the asserted infringement of the Petitioner’s patent (hereinafter
`
`referred to as the “Patent”) as well as (ii) the claims seeking for recovery of damages
`
`
`
`arising from deferred payment of the above claims. The Trustees denied the claims
`
`filed by the Petitioner (hereinafter referred to as the “Reorganization Claims”) and thus
`
`the Petitioner filed the procedure for assessing the Reorganization Claims in accordance
`
`with Section 151(1) of the Corporate Reorganization Law of Japan.
`
`
`
`2.
`
` As of this date, the court is unable to recognize facts supporting the
`
`Petitioner’s assertion that the Patent was infringed. The Petitioner stated to date that
`
`in light of technical nature of this matter the Petitioner has no objection to court’s
`
`issuing the decision at this stage in order to facilitate the reorganization claim
`
`assessment procedure being promptly finished as well as this matter being transferred
`
`to the objection procedure. The Petitioner also stated that the Petitioner will
`
`thereafter consider whether or not to file the assessment objection procedure. The
`
`Petitioned Party concurred with the Petitioner in stating that in light of technical
`
`nature of this matter the Petitioned Party has no objection to court’s issuing the
`
`decision at this stage to facilitate the reorganization claim assessment procedure being
`
`promptly finished as well as this matter being transferred to the objection procedure.
`
`
`
`Given the technical and complex nature of this matter as well as the restraint
`
`nature of this claim assessment procedure, the court recognizes it appropriate to issue
`
`the decision at this moment without further urging the both parties to submit any court
`
`briefs or evidences regarding the issue of the Patent’s infringement.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`In light of the above, the court determines that the Reorganization Claims
`
`should be denied in the claim assessment procedure at this court.
