`
`II. FACTS
`
`Plaintiff Ocean Semiconductorfiled lawsuits against Defendants Mediatek Inc. and
`
`Mediatek USAInc. (““Mediatek”), NVIDIA Corporation (“NVIDIA”), NXP USA,Inc. (“NXP”),
`
`Renesas Electronics Corporation and Renesas Electronics America, Inc. (“Renesas”), Silicon
`
`Laboratories Inc. (“Silicon Labs”), STMicroelectronics, Inc. (‘STMicro”), and Western Digital
`
`Technologies, Inc. (“WD”) (collectively “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the
`
`Western District of Texas. Ocean seeks a judgment that Defendants infringe U.S. Patent Nos.

`
`the “Asserted Patents”).! Ocean Semiconductor seeks an award of damages from Defendantsto
`
`compensate for the alleged patent infringement. The technology described and claimed in the
`
`Asserted Patents relates to, among other things, the use of a movable wafer stage, fault detection,
`
`process scheduling, and measurementofcritical dimension and overlay in semiconductor
`
`manufacturing.
`
`In response to Ocean Semiconductor’s infringement claims, Defendants have asserted
`
`defenses that include noninfringement, exhaustion, license and implied license. The documents
`
`requested in AttachmentA are critical to Ocean Semiconductor’s ability to demonstrate
`
`Defendants’ infringement of the Asserted Patents and to properly and fully respond to
`
`Defendants’ defenses.

`.
`
`III]. OFFER OF RECIPROCAL ASSISTANCE
`
`The United States District Court for the Western District of Texasis willing to provide

`
`IV. REIMBURSEMENTFOR COSTS
`
`This Court, through Plaintiff Ocean Semiconductor, is willing to reimburse the
`
`Appropriate Judicial Authority of Taiwan for costs and expenses incurred in executing these
`
`Letters Rogatory.
`
`' Ocean also seeks a judgment against NXP and STMicrofor infringement of U.S. Patent No.
`6,420,097. However, Oceanis not presently seeking information from UMC related to those
`claims.
