PLAINTIFF’S ALTERNATIVE MOTION FOR LEAVE TO USE
DISCOVERY OR, IN THE FURTHER ALTERNATIVE,
TO CONDUCT JURISDICTIONAL DISCOVERY
Plaintiff LG.Plri1ips LCD Co., Ltd. ("LPL") respectfully moves this Court for an order
permitting LPL to use the jurisdictional discovery obtained in the matter of Connnissczriat Ez
l’Energie Atornique v. Samsung Electronics C0., etal., Case No. 03-484-MPT (the “CEA
Litigation") in order to further establish this Court’s jurisdiction over Defendant Chi Mei
Optoelectronics ("CMO"). On April 6, 2007, CMO filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of
Personal Jurisdiction and Insufficiency of Service of Process (D.I. 19). Although LPL believes
that it has sufficiently demonstrated that CMO’s motion to dismiss should be denied, LPL
requests, in the alternative, that it be permitted to use the jurisdictional discovery produced in the
CEA Litigation, to which CMO was a party, to further establish CMO’s jurisdictional contacts.
In the hrrther alternative, LPL requests that it be permitted to take jurisdictional discovery
because it has sufficiently demonstrated that its claims against CMO are meritorious and that
jurisdiction does exist against CMO. Jurisdictional discovery will further establish that this
Court may exercise jurisdiction over CMO.

Case 1:06-cv-00726-JJF Document 80 Filed 06/18/2007 Page 2 of 3
LPL therefore requests that it be allowed to use the documents produced in the CEA
Litigation, and that CMO be ordered to supplement its April 2005 production or, in the further
alternative, that LPL be allowed to conduct jurisdictional discovery from CMO and obtain
discovery from third—parties that have information relevant to personal jurisdiction over CMO in
order to supplement the evidence supporting this Court’s personal jurisdiction over CMO.
The factual and legal support for this motion are set forth in the accompanying brief the
Declaration of Ashley B. Stitzer and the exhibits attached thereto, which have been
