Defendant ViewSonic Corporation ("ViewSonic") hereby moves this Court to
dismiss plaintiff LG Philips LCD Co., Ltd.’s ("LPL") complaint against ViewSonic with
prejudice pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4l(a)(2). On October 5, 2007, LPL filed a
"Covenant Not to Sue ViewSonic Under the Patents~In-Suit" and intended this .
unconditional Covenant to eliminate all of LPL’s claims against ViewSonic in this action.
Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the accompanying brief, ViewSonic respectfully
requests that the Court dismiss LPL’s complaint with prejudice pursuant to Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure 4l(a)(2).
If the Court decides, however, to dismiss the complaint without prejudice,
ViewSonic requests that this Court allow it to show it is a prevailing party and to seek an
award of attorneys’ fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 285 for the reasons set forth in the
accompanying brief.
