ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 30, 2002, Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") filed a complaint against us in the United States Federal District Court for the Northern
District of California alleging that certain of our products infringe seven HP patents. HP seeks a permanent injunction as well as unspecified monetary
damages for patent infringement. We believe that HP's claims are without merit. On July 21, 2003, we answered the complaint and filed counterclaims
alleging that certain HP products infringe six EMC patents. EMC seeks a permanent injunction as well as unspecified monetary damages for patent
infringement.
On September 30, 2002, EMC filed a complaint against HP in the United States Federal District Court in Worcester, Massachusetts. The complaint
alleged that certain HP products infringe six EMC patents. The suit sought a permanent injunction as well as unspecified monetary damages for patent
infringement. On June 20, 2003, the parties filed a joint motion to dismiss the suit without prejudice, and thereafter, the suit was dismissed by the court.
We are a party (either as plaintiff or defendant) to various other patent litigation matters, including certain matters which we assumed in connection with
our acquisitions of LEGATO and VMware.
We are a party to other litigation which we consider routine and incidental to our business. Management does not expect the results of any of these
actions to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
