2000. Since its founding, Intellectual Ventures has been deeply involved in the business of
Filed 07/11/11 Page 5 of 18
Intellectual Ventures creates inventions and files patent applications for those
inventions; collaborates with others to develop and patent inventions: and acquires and licenses patents from individual inventors, universities and other institutions. A significant aspect of Intellectual Ventures' business is managing the two plaintiffs in this case: Plaintiff Intellectual Ventures I and Plaintiff Intellectual Ventures II. 26. Intellectual Ventures' business includes purchasing important inventions from
individual inventors and institutions and then licensing the inventions to those who need them. Through this business, Intellectual Ventures allows inventors to reap a financial reward from their innovations, which is frequently difficult for individual inventors acting alone. To date. Intellectual Ventures has purchased more than 30,000 assets and in the process, has paid individual inventors hundreds of millions of dollars for their inventions. Intellectual Ventures, in turn, has earned nearly $2 billion by licensing these patents to some of the world's most innovative and successful technology companies who continue to use them to make computer equipment, software, semiconductor devices, and a host of other products. 27. Intellectual Ventures also creates inventions of its own. Intellectual Ventures has
a staff of scientists and engineers who develop ideas in a broad range of fields, including agriculture, computer hardware, life sciences, medical devices, semiconductors, and software. Intellectual Ventures has invested millions of dollars developing such ideas and has filed hundreds of patent applications on its inventions every year, making it one of the top patent filers in the world. Intellectual Ventures has also invested in laboratory facilities to assist with the development and testing of new ideas. 28. As part of the company's focus on finding solutions to the world's energy
problems, inventors at Intellectual Ventures have also invented a new kind of nuclear reactor that produces significantly smaller amounts of nuclear waste than conventional nuclear reactors. Specifically, this new reactor turns depleted uranium—a waste material—into fuel. Using waste material to run a nuclear reactor has the chance of reducing carbon emissions from the power

industry significantly and at a relatively lower cost.
Expected to go online by 2020, the
TerraPower project has received funding from outside investors and is the first official spin out from Intellectual Ventures. Intellectual Ventures also has a team dedicated to creating new
technologies to combat and track the spread of malaria, a disease that sickens or kills millions around the world every year. 29. Intellectual Ventures also creates inventions by collaborating with inventors and For example, Intellectual Ventures has developed
inventions by selecting a technical challenge, requesting proposals for inventions to solve the challenge from inventors and institutions, selecting the most promising ideas, rewarding the inventors and institutions for their contributions, and filing patent applications on the ideas. Intellectual Ventures has invested millions of dollars in this way and has created a network of more than 3000 inventors worldwide. 30. Hynix is one of the world's largest manufacturers of a semiconductor memory
device called Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM. DRAM is used as the main memory in personal computers, servers, and other electronic devices. The worldwide market for DRAM is enormous, with projected revenues of approximately $41 billion for 2010. For its part, Hynix has made and sold billions of dollars of DRAM, with projected revenues of approximately $8 billion for 2010. Hynix also makes and sells NAND Flash memory devices. NAND Flash memory typically is used in products such as MP3 players, mobile phones, and digital cameras. The worldwide market for NAND memory also is enormous, with projected revenues of approximately $20 billion for 2010. Hynix has made and sold hundreds of millions of dollars of Flash memory, with projected revenues of approximately $1.5 billion for 2010. 31. Beginning in 2008, Intellectual Ventures approached Hynix about taking a license
to Intellectual Ventures’ patents. In 2009 and 2010, Intellectual Ventures discussed many of its patents with Hynix, including patents asserted against Hynix in this complaint, in an effort to negotiate a license. Further, Intellectual Ventures explained to Hynix how Hynix was using
Filed 07/11/11 Page 7 of 18
Intellectual Ventures' patented inventions in its DRAM and Flash products. Despite Intellectual Ventures' good faith efforts to negotiate a business solution, Hynix has failed and refused to license Intellectual Ventures' patents on reasonable terms and continues to use those inventions without permission. 32. Like Hynix, Elpida is one of the world's largest manufacturers of DRAM. Elpida
has made and sold billions of dollars worth of DRAM, with projected revenues of approximately $6 billion in 2010. Intellectual Ventures contacted Elpida in 2009 and, by early 2010,
Intellectual Ventures approached Elpida about a license to Intellectual Ventures' patents. During the course of 2010, Intellectual Ventures made significant efforts to meet with Elpida, discuss Intellectual Ventures' patents, and negotiate a license. Despite repeated requests from
Intellectual Ventures for a meeting, Elpida repeatedly delayed. Finally, Intellectual Ventures and Elpida met in the fall of 2010, during which Intellectual Ventures discussed many of its patents with Elpida, including patents asserted against Elpida in this complaint. Further, Intellectual Ventures explained to Elpida how Elpida was using Intellectual Ventures' patented inventions in its DRAM products. Despite Intellectual Ventures' good faith efforts to negotiate a business solution. Elpida has failed and refused to license Intellectual Ventures' patents on reasonable terms and continues to use those inventions without permission. THE PATENTS 33.
