January 4, 2008 VIA EFILING AND HAND DELIVERY The Honorable Joseph J. Farnan, Jr. USDC for the District of Delaware 844 King Street Wilmington, DE 19801 Re: Your Honor: On October 22, 2007 we advised the Court that reexamination requests had been filed with the United States Patent Office ("PTO") for all 5 patents in suit. On December 20, 2007, the PTO found a substantial new question of patentability with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 6,643,243 and 6,355,432, and ordered reexaminations of the validity of both patents. On December 21, 2007, the PTO found a substantial new question of patentability with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 5,545,531 and 5,795,716, and also ordered reexaminations of the validity of both of those patents. (Copies of the Reexamination Orders for all 4 patents are attached.) Due to a processing delay in the PTO, the PTO has not yet made a decision on the reexamination of U.S. Patent No. 6,399,365, but we will advise the Court as soon as a corresponding reexamination order for the '365 patent is available. The four re-examination orders suggest that the PTO wants to be updated on all information in this litigation which is material to the reexaminations. Accordingly, Illumina would like to send certain documents and testimony to the PTO; however, certain of this information has been designated as confidential by Affymetrix. Illumina plans to meet and confer with Affymetrix about de-designating said information for the limited purpose of providing the information to the PTO. In the event that the meet and confer is unsuccessful, Illumina plans to raise the issue with Your Honor at the next opportunity. Respectfully, /s/ Richard K. Herrmann Richard K. Herrmann, I.D. No. 405 [email protected] cc: Maryellen Noreika, Esq. (via email & hand delivery) Daniel Reed, Esq. (via email) Affymetrix, Inc. v. Illumina, Inc., D. Del., C.A. No. 04-901-JJF
