TO ALL PARTIES, COUNSEL, AND THE CLERK OF THE COURT: Pursuant to Local Rule 3-12, PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that this action, Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd., et al. v. Tessera, Inc. (United Stated District Court, Northern District of California, San Jose Division, Case Number 5:08-cv-03667- RS), appears to be, and is, related within the meaning of Local Rule 3-12 to the following actions: 1. Tessera v. Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (United States District Court, Northern

District of California, Oakland Division, Case Number 05-4063 CW); 2. ChipMOS Technologies, Inc., et al. v. Tessera, Inc. (United States District Court,

Northern District of California, Oakland Division, Case Number 08-03827 CW); 1 and 3. Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc., et al. v. Tessera, Inc. (United States

District Court, Northern District of California, San Francisco Division, Case Number 08-03726EMC). Both this action and the above-identified actions concern substantially the same or similar parties (and counsel), property, transaction, events, and patent related claims. It appears likely that there will be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense, or conflicting results, if the cases are conducted before different judges. Accordingly, Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd., et al. v. Tessera, Inc. may be, and is, related to those identified above, and should be assigned to the Hon. Claudia Wilken. DATED: September 5, 2008 GIBSON, DUNN & CRUTCHER LLP
