HONEYWELL’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SUR-REPLY
IN OPPOSITION TO ARIMA DISPLAY’S MOTION TO DISMISS
FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION
Plaintiffs Honeywell International Inc. and Honeywell Intellectual Properties Inc.,
(collectively, "Honeywell") hereby move this Court for leave to file the attached Sur-Reply
regarding defendant Arima Display’s Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction, which
addresses new information which Arima Display first submitted in its Reply Brief. In the wake
of the Court’s decision on ST—LCD’s similar Motion, Honeywell requested that Arima Display
dismiss its Motion, without prejudice, and engage in jurisdictional discovery. Arima Display
rejected Honeywell’s request. Arima Display’s position has thus necessitated the instant request,
in order that the Court may have a full record for evaluating Honeywell’s request for
jurisdictional discovery.
Specifically, on April I7, 2006, Arima Display filed a Reply Brief in Support of
its Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. Accompanying Arima Display’s Reply
was a "Supplemental Declaration" of Mr. Hsing—Hung Shen which disclosed, for the frst time,
the identities and "locations" of Arima Display’s four U.S.-based customers. Honeywell’s initial
research into Arima Display’s newly disclosed customers indicates that at least two of them

appear to be Delaware corporations, a third might be a Delaware corporation, and a fourth
appears to be in the process of expanding its already existing Delaware sales operations.
The Local Rules of this Court state that "[t]he party filing the opening brief shall
not reserve material for the reply brief which should have been included in a full and fair
opening brief" D. Del. LR. 7.1.3(c)(2). Because Arima Display reserved information relevant
to detennining personal jurisdiction until after the time for filing Honeywell’s Opposition had
passed, Honeywell moves the Court for leave to file the attached Sur-Reply, which provides
additional, jurisdictionally-relevant facts. (Okerlund Aff, Ex. A) (Sur-Reply).l
