Salmon Street, Suite 1600 Portland, Oregon 97204 RE: Anascape, Ltd. v. Microsoft Corp. and Nintendo of America, Inc. Civil Action No. 9:06-CV-158-RC

Dear Jim & Chris: As we previously discussed, I am writing to identify the claims of the patents-in-suit that Anascape presently intends to assert in its P.R. 3-1 disclosures, which are due on December 29, 2006. Please note that the claims identified in this letter are the result of our preliminary investigation and that this letter does not limit or bind Anascape in any way.1 Subject to those caveats, the following is a preliminary list of the claims of the patents-insuit that Anascape asserts in this matter: · Microsoft's Xbox Controllers and Xbox Controllers S and accompanying video game systems infringe claims 5-6 and 11 of U.S. Patent No. 5,999,084, claims 118 of U.S. Patent No. 6,102,802, claim 7 of U.S. Patent No. 6,135,886, claims 11, 13, and 16 of U.S. Patent No. 6,208,271, claims 1, 5-6, and 12-20 of U.S. Patent No. 6,222,525, claims 1, 3, 6-8, 11-12, 16-19, 23-25, 28-37, 40-53, and 66-73 of U.S. Patent No. 6,343,991, claims 1-18, 34-44, 56-62, and 64-65 of U.S. Patent No. 6,344,791, claims 32-37 of U.S. Patent No. 6,347,997, claims 1-5 and 7-8 of U.S. Patent No. 6,351,205, claims 5-6 and 18-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,400,303,

In particular, please note that we have not investigated potential infringement with respect to the Wii video game system that was recently introduced by Nintendo, which may be added to our assertions to the extent that those products infringe the patents-in-suit.
