               1.   John J. Deinken, Esq., counsel for junior party                   
                    Winker;                                                           
               2.   Joseph A. Rhoa, Esq., counsel for senior party                    
                    Abileah; and                                                      
               3    Jameson Lee, Administrative Patent Judge (APJ).                   
               F.   Discussion--third conference call                                 
               The parties advised the APJ that the actions proposed by               
          the APJ are agreeable to the parties.  In particular, the                   
          parties represented that the filing by Winker of a reissue                  
          application all of which claims require the first deposited                 
          thin-film compensator layer to be a positively birefringent O-              
          plate layer will operate as a request for entry of adverse                  
          judgment against Winker as to the subject matter of a modified              
          count which requires each of the first and second deposited                 
          thin-film layer to be selected from the group consisting of                 
          (i) a positively birefringent A-plate compensator layer, and                
          (ii) a negatively birefringent C-plate compensator layer.                   
               G.   On November 10, 1999, the APJ re-declared the                     
          interference (Paper No. 18) to change the count to the

                    A compensator for a liquid crystal display                        
               comprising:                                                            
                                        - 8 -
