`Defendants AI, ALLC, ASI, and AWSI are each individually liable and are jointly
`and severally liable for infringement of the Patents-in-Suit. Under theories of alter ego, single
`business enterprise liability, and agency, the conduct of each can be attributed to and considered
`the conduct of the others for purposes of infringement of the Patents-in-Suit. AI, ALLC, ASI,
`and AWS have in the past and continue to hold themselves out as a single entity – “Amazon” –
` acting in concert, with knowledge of each other’s actions and control over each other.
`Defendants AI, ALLC, ASI, and AWSI are hereinafter collectively referred to as
`“Defendants” or “Amazon.”
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 101, et

`U.S.C. § 271, et seq., 28 U.S.C. § 1331 (federal question jurisdiction), and § 1338 (jurisdiction
`over patent actions).
`Amazon is subject to personal jurisdiction in this Court. In particular, this Court
`has personal jurisdiction over Amazon because Amazon has engaged in continuous, systematic,
`and substantial activities within this State, including substantial marketing and sales of products
`within this State and this District. Furthermore, upon information and belief, this Court has
`Page 2 of 22
`Case 6:20-cv-00553-ADA Document 1 Filed 06/22/20 Page 3 of 22
`personal jurisdiction over Amazon because Amazon has committed acts giving rise to
`Flexiworld’s claims for patent infringement within and directed to this District.
`Upon information and belief, Amazon has committed acts of infringement in this
`District and has one or more regular and established places of business within this District under
`the language of 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b). Thus, venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C.
`§ 1400(b).
`Amazon maintains a permanent physical presence within the Western District of
`Texas, conducting business from at least its locations at 11501 and 11601 Alterra Parkway,
`Austin, Texas 78758.
`Upon information and belief, Amazon has conducted and does conduct substantial
`business in this forum, directly and/or through subsidiaries, agents, representatives, or
`intermediaries, such substantial business including but not limited to: (i) at least a portion of the
`infringements alleged herein; (ii) purposefully and voluntarily placing one or more infringing
`products into the stream of commerce with the expectation that they will be purchased by
`consumers in this forum; or (iii) regularly doing or soliciting business, engaging in other
`persistent courses of conduct, or deriving substantial revenue from goods and services provided
`to individuals in Texas and in this judicial district.
`Venue is proper in the Western District of Texas pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1391 and
`28 U.S.C. § 1400(b).

`Case 6:20-cv-00553-ADA Document 1 Filed 06/22/20 Page 13 of 22
`Flexiworld is entitled to collect damages from Amazon for convoyed sales of certain non-
`patented items.
`Amazon failed to obtain permission from Flexiworld to make, use, sell, offer to
