`
`Certain Semiconductor Devices and Consumer Audiovisual Products Containing the
`Same, Investigation No. 337-TA-1047, Motion Docket No. 1047-025
`
`
`Dear Judge Shaw,
`
` I
`
` am counsel for non-party ARM, Inc. (“ARM”). I am writing to provide additional information
`relevant to ARM’s Motion for Entry of an Addendum to the Protective Order Regarding ARM
`Source Code and Request for Temporary Relief or Shortened Response Time (Motion Docket No.
`1047-025) of which ARM only became aware after filing its Motion.
`
`Shortly after ARM’s Motion was filed, respondent Sigma Designs, Inc. (“Sigma”) notified ARM
`that Broadcom had recently requested that Sigma supplement its source code production with
`respect to Sigma SoCs containing ARM CPUs and ARM Mali GPUs. Specifically, Broadcom
`requested that Sigma provide for inspection and production the RTL, software, and firmware
`source code for the ARM CPUs and ARM Mali GPUs in such Sigma SoCs.
`
`As noted in ARM’s Motion, ARM’s unique business model is based solely on licensing ARM
`Source Code and the same concerns raised in ARM’s Motion regarding the inadequacy of the
`source code provisions of the existing Protective Order with respect to respondent LG Electronics,
`Inc.’s production of ARM Source Code likewise apply to Sigma’s production of ARM Source
`Code. In fact, Sigma’s production will significantly increases the risk of irreparable harm to ARM.
`Not only will another respondent be producing ARM Mali GPU Source Code, but Sigma’s
`production will expose ARM CPU Source Code to the risks associated with source code
`production under the existing Protective Order.
`
`In light of Broadcom’s request for the production of the entirety of the ARM Source Code for two
`of ARM’s most valuable offerings, ARM CPU and ARM Mali GPU Source Code, the provisions
`of ARM’s Proposed Addendum are even more necessary and reasonable. ARM is only seeking
`protections for ARM Source Code similar, but less onerous and burdensome, to those that
`Broadcom has itself sought and been granted for its code in numerous other investigations.

`
`
`
`For the additional good cause created by Sigma’s production of ARM CPU and ARM Mali GPU
`Source Code, ARM respectfully requests that the ALJ grant ARM’s Motion and enter ARM’s
`Addendum to the Protective Order attached to ARM’s Motion as Exhibit A.1
`
`Sincerely,
`
`

`The proposed addendum that ARM presented for Broadcom’s consideration was edited for clarity prior to
`submission as Exhibit A to ARM’s Motion.
