DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR A MORE DEFINITIVE STATEMENT OR, IN THE
ALTERNATIVE, TO DISIVHSS OR STRIKE WILLFULNESS ALLEGATIONS
Defendants Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Fairchild Semiconductor
Corporation, and System General Corporation (collectively, "Defendants") will and hereby do
move the Court for an order requiring plaintiff Power Integrations, Inc. to submit a more definite
statement, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(e), on the ground that the Complaint is so vague and
ambiguous that Defendants, either jointly or severally, cannot reasonably be required to firame a
responsive pleading. In the altemative, Defendants move the Court, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P.
l2(b)(6), for an order dismissing the Complaint in its entirety as insufficient to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted; or, alternatively, move to strike the allegations of willful
infringement from the Complaint, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. l2(f) as insufficient as a matter of
law.
Defendants file contemporaneously herewith and incorporate herein their Memorandum
in Support of Defendants’ Motion for a More Definitive Statement or, In the Altemative, To
Dismiss or Strike Willfulness Allegations.
