conductive carbon coating and an activated carbon coating. These two aluminum collectors coated with carbon are then separated by a porous separator. As Dr. Miller explains, all of Nesscap's electric double layer capacitors include electrodes that meet the limitations of the `074 patent, and therefore infringe. Nesscap's infringement of the `924 and `074 patents will have immediate, irreparable impact on Maxwell if not enjoined now. Nesscap has exhibited a consistent strategy of drastically undercutting Maxwell on price, and has expressly stated to a Maxwell customer that its goal is to "deliver at a lower price than Maxwell Technologies in all cases." Nesscap's pricing tactics have already eroded market prices, thereby reducing, and in some cases eliminating, Maxwell's profit margins. If Nesscap is enjoined only at the conclusion of this litigation, ultracapacitor prices will never return to current market levels, as customers will have built lower prices into their business models. Thus, if not enjoined now, Nesscap's pricing tactics will permanently depress or eliminate profit margins in the ultracapacitor industry, thereby preventing Maxwell, and any other ultracapacitor manufacturer, from making a reasonable return on investment. This infringing conduct, if not stopped, will stifle continued innovation of this cutting-edge technology and potentially drive Maxwell from the market it has pioneered. In light of the clear showing that Nesscap is infringing Maxwell's patents and that this infringement will irreparably harm Maxwell if not enjoined now, Maxwell requests that this Court enter a preliminary injunction to halt Nesscap's infringing U.S. activities.2 II. FACTS A. Ultracapacitors and Their Applications.

Maxwell's `924 patent covers a novel ultracapacitor with decreased internal resistance and methods for making that ultracapacitor. (A true and correct copy of the `924 Patent is attached as Exhibit M to the Declaration of John R. Miller in Support of Maxwell Technologies' Motion for This motion and the accompanying declarations and exhibits supersede the preliminary injunction motion filed by Maxwell on October 18, 2006. That pending motion was rendered moot by Maxwell's filing of the First Amended Complaint on November 2, 2006, which added Maxwell's claim for infringement of the `074 patent. This motion will be heard on the previously-noticed hearing date, November 30, 2006.

Preliminary Injunction ["Miller Dec."].) The `074 patent covers a novel ultracapacitor that employs two distinct carbon coatings on each aluminum collecting surface, thereby increasing the capacitor's ability to store charge, and decreasing its resistance. (A true and correct copy of the `074 Patent is attached as Exhibit N to the Miller Declaration.) A capacitor is an energy storage device. It contains two electrical conducting surfaces separated by a dialectric, or separator. An ultracapacitor, also known as a supercapacitor, is more technically described as an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC). (Miller Dec. ¶ 12.) An ultracapacitor is an electrochemical capacitor with the ability to store a large amount of energy for a given mass compared to a normal capacitor, and the ability to deliver high levels of power for a given mass compared to a battery. (Id.) Ultracapacitors are not as affected by temperature variations as batteries, have a longer life, can be recharged almost instantaneously, and are not degraded by frequent or intensive use. (Id.) An ultracapacitor is formed by using two aluminum conductors coated with carbon. The two carbon-coated conductors, called electrodes, are separated by a paper separator and soaked in an electrolyte solution. (Id. ¶ 13.) The purpose of the electrolyte is to provide ions to create one of the needed layers of charge. (Id. ¶ 14.) When a current is applied to the ultracapacitor, for instance by connecting a battery, the molecules of the electrolyte solution between the conducting surfaces begin to polarize, sending positive charges to the negatively charged conducting surface and negative charges to the positively charged conducting surface, creating two layers of charge. (Id. ¶ 13.) One layer is formed in the electrode and one layer is formed in the electrolyte, hence the name "electric double layer" capacitor. (Id.) The electrostatic process of separating these charges creates a buildup of energy that is stored in the electric field, which is then released to power the electrical circuit in which the ultracapacitor is contained. (Id. ¶ 14.) The amount of energy stored increases as the surface area of the material on the conducting surface increases, and as the distance between the two conducting surfaces decreases. (Id. ¶ 35.) Because the carbon on the conducting surface is a very porous material with large surface areas, it increases the amount of energy that the ultracapacitor can store. (Id.) 3

The following diagram illustrates the makeup of an ultracapacitor:

Charged Ions in Electrolyte Carbon Layers Aluminum Collectors In this diagram, the left and right blue edges are the aluminum conducting surfaces, the grey area against each electrode is the carbon, and the paper dialectric is labeled "separator." The figure shows positive and negative ions in the electrolyte collecting against the conducting surfaces. Ultracapacitors have been predicted to be the next generation of energy supply units for electronic devices, potentially even replacing batteries in products ranging from calculators to automobiles. (Miller Dec. ¶ 12.) Smaller ultracapacitors can be used in consumer electronics, medical devices and power tools to provide a short burst of power that cannot efficiently be provided by a conventional battery.

Technologies' Motion for Preliminary Injunction ["Balanson Dec."] ¶ 5.) Medium-sized and larger ultracapacitors can be used in automotive subsystems, medical devices, wind turbines, and as a source of backup power. (Id.) One of the largest potential markets for ultracapacitors is the automotive market, where ultracapacitors are being incorporated into hybrid-electric vehicles. The capabilities of ultracapacitors for efficient electrical energy storage and rapid discharge/recharge are integral to industry-leading development programs for low-emission, fuel-efficient, hybrid powertrains and advanced electrical drive systems. (Balanson Dec. ¶5.) By supplementing the primary engine with an electric motor that assists initial acceleration, and an energy storage system that recaptures and reuses braking energy, fuel consumption and emissions can be reduced dramatically. (Id.) According to Nesscap, "[t]he automotive market is potentially the largest and most lucrative, and is the ultimate target of the major ultracapacitor companies." (Id., Ex. A at 12.) Nesscap predicts that when "vehicles start to enter into mass production around 2008/9," this market "is expected to grow beyond $1 billion." (Id., Ex. A at 10.) One analyst predicts the potential ultracapacitor market in this industry to be $11 billion. (Declaration of Stephen Jones in Support of Maxwell Technologies' Motion for Preliminary Injunction ["Jones Dec."], Ex. B at 24.) B. Maxwell and its Investment in the Ultracapacitor Market.

Maxwell, founded in 1965, is a publicly-traded company headquartered in San Diego. (Balanson Dec. ¶ 3.) Maxwell entered the ultracapacitor business in the mid-1990s. (Id. ¶ 6.) Maxwell historically had been a government contractor providing research and development services to the U.S. military and other government agencies. (Id. ¶ 3.) However, based on the potentially large market for ultracapacitors, particularly in the automotive industry, Maxwell divested its government contracting business to focus on ultracapacitors. (Id. ¶ 3.) Over the past ten years, Maxwell has invested over $70 million in its ultracapacitor business. (Id. ¶ 6.) Maxwell has focused on obtaining intellectual property protection for its innovations in this area, and currently is the assignee on over 30 ultracapacitor-related patents, with several dozen patents pending.

CONCLUSION

Given Maxwell's strong showing of likelihood of success and irreparable harm, the balance of hardships strongly favors Maxwell. A preliminary injunction preventing further infringement of the `924 and `074 patents is therefore necessary. Dated: November 2, 2006 MORRISON & FOERSTER LLP

INTRODUCTION Defendant NessCap Co., Ltd. moves the Court to dismiss Maxwell Technologies, Inc.'s

("Maxwell") Complaint pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(5) because service of process on NessCap Co., Ltd. was insufficient. II. STATEMENT OF FACTS NessCap Co., Ltd. ("LIMITED") is a company located only in South Korea and organized under Korean law. It is engaged in the research, development, production, and sales of electrical energy storage products known as "ultracapacitors." LIMITED has no offices in the United States, is not registered to do business anywhere in the United States, and has no registered agents in the United States. Its parent company is NessCap, Inc., which is a Delaware corporation that is registered to do business in New York State. Declaration"), ¶¶ 2-4, filed concurrently herewith. Maxwell is a company located in San Diego, California, and incorporated in Delaware. Maxwell filed its Complaint for patent infringement on October 17, 2006. On October 18, 2006, Maxwell filed a Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. No. 3). The Summons and Complaint were hand delivered to the receptionist at the office of NessCap, Inc.'s attorney in New York City on October 18, 2006. See Declaration of Huhnsik Chung ("Chung Declaration"), ¶ 3, filed in support of Nesscap, Inc.'s motion to dismiss. See also Return of Service, Dkt. No. 9. No request to waive service was provided. Chung Declaration, ¶ 3. On November 2, 2006, Maxwell filed a First Amended Complaint (Dkt. No.12) and a new Motion for a Preliminary Injunction (Dkt. No. 13), both of which again Maxwell hand delivered to the receptionist at the office of NessCap, Inc.'s attorney in New York City on the same day. Chung Declaration, ¶ 4. Again, no request to waive service was made. Id. at 4. Maxwell contends that certain LIMITED products ("the Accused Products"), infringe U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,525,924 and 6,631,074 ("the patents-in-suit"). Maxwell alleges that LIMITED is infringing the patents-in-suit by making, using, and/or selling or offering for sale in the United States the Accused Products. This allegation is unfounded. /// 1
