You will hear testimony from the next two witnesses, Ron Kalakuntla and Anand
Bagchi, regarding Mr. Bagchi’s hiring by ISSI and his forwarding emails that he
received from Cisco while he was at ISSI.
The court has ruled that Mr. Bagchi’s hiring was lawful, and in and of itself is not
evidence of wrongdoing.
The court also has ruled that Cisco’s selection of ISSI as the Atris bid winner was
not caused by any transfer of information or other conduct by Mr. Bagchi.
Evidence regarding Mr. Bagchi’s conduct before joining ISSI may not be
considered as to these two issues.

Evidence regarding Mr. Bagchi’s conduct before joining ISSI may nevertheless be
considered on other issues, such as (1) ISSI’s knowledge of the relationship
between UMI and GSI; (2) the ownership of the schematics; and (3) whether GSI
brought this lawsuit in bad faith.
