Jurisdiction and Venue

3. This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 of the United States 

Code. This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 

1338(a).

4. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Verizon in this action because Verizon has committed acts of infringement within this District giving rise to this action, has a regular and established place of business in this District, and has established minimum contacts with this forum 

such that the exercise of jurisdiction over Verizon would not offend traditional notions of fair play 

and substantial justice. Verizon, directly and/or through subsidiaries or intermediaries, conducts 

its business extensively throughout Texas, by shipping, distributing, offering for sale, selling, and 

advertising its products and/or services in the State of Texas and the Eastern District of Texas,

regularly does business or solicits business, engages in other persistent courses of conduct, and/or 

derives substantial revenue from products and/or services provided to individuals in the State of 

Texas, and commits acts of infringement of Plaintiff’s patents in this District by, among other 

things, making, using, importing, offering to sell, and selling products and/or services that infringe 

the asserted patents, including without limitation the tablets and phones accused of infringement 

in this case and cellular services offered by Verizon on its network.

5. Verizon, directly and/or through subsidiaries or intermediaries, has purposefully and voluntarily placed one or more products and/or services in the stream of commerce that practice the 

Asserted Patents with the intention and expectation that they will be purchased and used by consumers in the Eastern District of Texas. These products and/or services have been and continue to 

be purchased and used in the Eastern District of Texas.

6. Venue as to Verizon is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b). On 

information and belief, Verizon resides in this District and/or has committed acts of infringement 

and has a regular and established place of business in this District. 

7. For example, Defendant has regular and established places of business in the Eastern District of Texas, including at 1111 E Grand Ave., Marshall, TX 75670; 500 E Loop 281, Longview, 

TX 75605; 2400 S Jefferson Ave., Mount Pleasant, TX 75455; 1006 East End Boulevard N., Suite 

A, Marshall, Texas 75670; 741 N Central Expressway, Plano, Texas 75075; 2330 Preston Road, 

Suite 500, Frisco, Texas 75034; 3220 East Hebron Parkway, Suite 114, Carrollton, Texas 75010; 

5020 State Highway 121, The Colony, Texas 75056; and 204 Central Expressway S, Suite 40, 

Allen, Texas 75013.

8. For example, Verizon also owns, leases, maintains and/or operates cellular base stations in 

this District that provide 5G data services to Verizon customers in this District, including numerous cell tower locations in Tyler, Texas and Longview, Texas.

9. For example, Verizon offers 5G data coverage to customers in this District. Furthermore, 

according to its website, Verizon also offers and /or provides 4G and 5G services and equipment 

to customers in this District. 

Count 1 – Claim for infringement of the ’802 patent.

10. Cobblestone incorporates by reference each of the allegations in paragraphs 1–9 above and 

further alleges as follows:

11. Plaintiff owns by assignment all rights, title, and interest in U.S. Patent No. 7,924,802 (the 

“’802 Patent”), entitled “Wireless Communication Systems and Methods.” The ’802 Patent was 

duly and legally issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on April 12, 2011. A 

true and correct copy of the ’802 Patent is attached as Exhibit 1.

Case 2:23-cv-00382-JRG-RSP Document 1 Filed 08/25/23 Page 3 of 7 PageID #: 3

12. On information and belief, Verizon makes, uses, offers for sale, sells, and/or imports certain products and services (“Accused Instrumentalities”), including cellular base stations, mobile 

products, and services that support 3GPP carrier aggregation, including without limitation Apple 

mobile products, that directly infringe, literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents, at least 

Claim 1 of the ’802 Patent. 

13. Verizon also knowingly and intentionally induces infringement of at least Claim 1 of 

the ’802 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(b). Through at least the filing and service of this 

Complaint, Verizon has had knowledge of the ’802 Patent and the infringing nature of the Accused 

Instrumentalities. Despite this knowledge of the ’802 Patent, Verizon continues to actively encourage and instruct its customers and end users (for example, through user manuals and online instruction materials on its website) to use the Accused Instrumentalities in ways that directly 

infringe the ’802 Patent. Verizon does so knowing and intending that its customers and end users 

will commit these infringing acts. Verizon also continues to make, use, offer for sale, sell, and/or 

import the Accused Instrumentalities, despite its knowledge of the ’802 Patent, thereby specifically 

intending for and inducing its customers to infringe the ’802 Patent through the customers’ normal 

and customary use of the Accused Instrumentalities.

14. Verizon has also infringed, and continue to infringe, at least Claim 1 of the ’802 Patent by 

selling, offering for sale, or importing into the United States, the Accused Instrumentalities, knowing that the Accused Instrumentalities constitute a material part of the inventions claimed in the 

’802 Patent, are especially made or adapted to infringe the ’802 Patent, and are not staple articles 

or commodities of commerce suitable for non-infringing use. Verizon has been, and currently is, 

contributorily infringing the ’802 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(c) and (f).

Case 2:23-cv-00382-JRG-RSP Document 1 Filed 08/25/23 Page 4 of 7 PageID #: 4

15. The Accused Instrumentalities satisfy all claim limitations of one or more claims of 

the ’802 Patent. A claim chart comparing independent claim 1 of the ’802 Patent to representative 

Accused Instrumentalities is attached as Exhibit 2.

16. By making, using, offering for sale, selling and/or importing into the United States the 

Accused Instrumentalities, Verizon has injured Plaintiff and are liable for infringement of the ’802

Patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271.

17. As a result of Verizon’s infringement of the ’802 Patent, Plaintiff is entitled to monetary 

damages in an amount adequate to compensate for Verizon’s infringement, but in no event less 

than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the invention by Verizon, together with interest and 

costs as fixed by the Court.

Jury Trial Demanded

18. Pursuant to Rule 38 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Cobblestone requests a trial 

by jury of any issues so triable by right.

Prayer for Relief

Plaintiff Cobblestone respectfully requests the following relief from this Court:

under the doctrine of equivalents, the ’802 patent, and that the ’802 patent is valid, enforceable,

costs, expenses, and pre-judgment and post-judgment interest for their infringement of the asserted

patent;
