PIATNICIA (Bar No. 174691) andy@piatnicialegal.com Piatnicia Legal 5339 Prospect Rd., No. 194 San Jose, CA 95129 (408) 641-1747 Attorney for Plaintiffs Asus Computer International ASUSTeK Computer Inc. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION ASUS COMPUTER INTERNATIONAL AND ASUSTEK COMPUTER INC. Plaintiffs, v. EXOTABLET LTD. Defendant. Case No. 5:14-cv-1743 COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF NON-INFRINGEMENT COMPLAINT Case No. 5:14-cv-1743
Plaintiffs ASUS Computer International and ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (collectively “Plaintiffs or “ASUS”), for their Complaint against Defendant ExoTablet, LTD (“Defendant” or “ExoTablet”), allege as follows: INTRODUCTION 1.
ASUS products are found in a variety of categories of information technology, including PC components and peripherals, notebooks, tablets, servers and smartphones. 2.
Some of ASUS’s products include the Nexus 7 tablet, the TAICHI (an Ultrabook with a double-sided display that allows it to be used as a tablet when the lid is closed), the Transformer Book (a tablet that can be docked to a keyboard for transformation into an Ultrabook), and most recently, the PadFone X (a combination smartphone and tablet). 3.
ExoTablet has accused ASUS’s PadFone of infringing ExoTablet’s patent. Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit to protect the PadFone X product from ExoTablet’s unjustified allegations of infringement. NATURE OF THIS ACTION 4.
This action arises under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 2201, and 2202, and the United States Patent Act, 35 U.S.C. § 100 et seq.
Plaintiffs bring this action for a declaration that that the PadFone X does not infringe the claims of ExoTablet’s U.S. Patent No. 7,477,919 (“the ’919 Patent”). PARTIES 6.
Plaintiff ASUSTeK Computer Inc. (“ASUSTeK”) is a Taiwan corporation with its principal place of business at 15 Li-Te Road, Beitou District, Taipei 112, Taiwan. ASUSTeK is a designer and developer of computers and other consumer electronic products including the PadFone X. 7.
Plaintiff ASUS Computer International (“ACI”) is a California corporation with its principal place of business at 800 Corporate Way, Fremont, California 94539. ACI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASUSTeK and sells ASUSTeK products under the ASUS brand name. 8.
On information and belief, Defendant ExoTablet Ltd., is a United Kingdom company with its principal place of business at Temple House, 20 Holywell Row, London EC2A 1 COMPLAINT Case No. 5:14-cv-1743 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
4XH, United Kingdom. U.S. PATENT NO. 7,477,919 9.
The ’919 Patent is entitled “Handheld Input/Output Device Providing Enhanced User Interface for a Mobile Telephone,” and states on its face that it was invented by Peter Warren. A copy of the ’919 Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The ’919 Patent issued on January 13, 2009, from application no. 11/849,454, which was filed on September 4, 2007. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 10.
This action arises under the Patent Laws of the United States of America, 35 U.S.C. § 100 et seq
This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over ASUS’s declaratory judgment claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202 because an immediate and substantial controversy exists between ASUS and ExoTablet with respect to the PadFone X’s non-infringement of the ’919 Patent. This Court has federal question jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a) because this is a civil action arising under the Patent Act. 12.
An actual and justiciable controversy between ASUS and ExoTablet exists based on ExoTablet’s repeated assertions to ASUS and ASUS’s customer, AT&T, that the PadFone X infringes claims of the ’919 patent. Absent a declaration of non-infringement, ExoTablet will continue to wrongfully allege infringement of the ’919 Patent by the PadFone X. 13.
ASUSTeK develops the PadFone X, and ACI plans to import and market the PadFone X in the United States. 14.
Personal jurisdiction and venue are proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391. This Court has specific personal jurisdiction over ExoTablet because the cause of action for declaratory judgment arises from ExoTablet’s contacts with California. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391 because a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claims at issue occurred in this judicial district, and because ExoTablet is subject to personal jurisdiction within this judicial district. 15.
On June 6, 2012, Stephen R. Risley, counsel for ExoTablet, met with representatives for ASUSTeK in Taiwan and discussed ExoTablet’s contention that ASUS’s 2 COMPLAINT Case No. 5:14-cv-1743 Activity (0)FiltersAdd to collectionReviewAdd NoteLikeShowingAllMost RecentReviewsAll NotesLikesYou've already reviewed this.
