DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DISQUALIFY
ERIC ANDERSON AS AN EXPERT WITNESS
Defendants Eastman Kodak and Altek Corporation hereby move, pursuant to the
Protective Order in this case, entered Nov. 1, 2005, to disqualify Eric Anderson from serving as
an expert witness in this action.
During the course of a confidential relationship with Eastman Kodak Company
("Kodak") between 1993 and 2000, Mr. Anderson not only received confidential information
relevant to this litigation, but in fact helped to design the Kodak digital camera technology at
issue in this litigation. There are many other potential experts available — Ampex has no need to
use one of the few who actually helped Kodak to design the technology at issue. Ampex’s use of
Mr. Anderson would Lmfairly prejudice Kodak and unjustly award Ampex for selecting an expert
with a conflict of interest.

Case 1 :04-cv—O1373-KAJ Document 197 Filed O3/06/2006 Page 2 of 3
Accordingly, Defendants respectfully move to disqualify Mr. Anderson. In support of
this motion, Defendants submit Defendant’s Opening Brief In Support of Their Motion to
Disqualify Eric Anderson as an Expert and related appendices.
Pursuant to Local Rule 7.1.1, defense counsel has made a reasonable effort to reach an
agreement with opposing counsel concerning the subject of this motion, without success.
