Re: LG Display C0., Ltd, et al. v. Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp., et al.
(Civ. Nos. 06-726-JJF and 07-357-JJF)
Dear Judge Thynge:
1
We write regarding Plaintiff LG Display Co., Ltd.’s ("LGD") request of April 29, 2008,
for an order directing LGD and AU Optronics Corporation ("AUO") to produce certain license
agreements in advance of the parties’ May 13, 2008 mediation. (See D.I. 191.) LGD suggests
that some of its license agreements contain provisions permitting disclosures if required by court
compulsion. AUO does not obj ect to the Court issuing an order directing LGD to produce its
license agreements, if this is what LGD requires in order to produce these documents.
However, as AUO informed LGD on April 28, 2008, AUO believes it is premature to
compel the consent of AUO’s licensors and cross-licensees through a court order. First, AUO
requests that it at least be afforded the opportunity to obtain the voluntary consent from its
licensors and licensees before demanding such consent through a court order. Indeed, AUO has j
already requested consent from its licensors and cross-licensees to produce the license l
agreements in this case, and has provided its licensors and cross-licensees with seven days to
obj ect to such production. Second, this Court made clear during the April 17, 2008 telephonic E
hearing that it prefers to receive a chart outlining the material terms of the relevant license
agreements, rather than copies of the agreements themselves. Thus, the parties can provide
licensing information in the mediation statements without having to first obtain consent from
licensors by simply identifying the relevant terms of the license agreements and withholding the
names of the parties.
i
AUO thus respectfully requests that the Court allow AUO to proceed with obtaining
consent from its licensors and cross-licensees without a court order at this time.
_ Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Karen L. Qascale
