The complaint alleges violations of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain gaming and entertainment consoles, related software, and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,319,712 (“the `712 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 5,357,571 (“the `571 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 6,069,896 (“the `896 patent”); U.S. Patent No. 6,980,596 (“the `596 patent”); and U.S. Patent No. 7,162,094 (“the `094 patent”). The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
