THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT 6. 7. Paragraphs 1-5 are incorporated by reference as if set forth here in full. United States Patent No. 7,511,607 (“the ‘607 patent”) lawfully issued March 31,
2009 and is entitled “Vehicle back-up viewing system.” The named inventors are D. Larry Hubbard and Richard Smolenski. Old World is the legal owner of the ‘607 patent by virtue of an Assignment of Patent Rights duly recorded on October 17, 2011 in the United States Patent And Trademark Office. A copy of the ‘607 patent is attached as Exhibit A hereto. 8. U.S. Patent No. 7,245,207 (“the ‘207 patent”) lawfully issued July 17, 2007 and is
entitled “Camera and display device for use with vehicles.” The named inventors are Mervin A. Dayan, Maurice S. Dayan, and Larry D. Sharp.

COUNT ONE – INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘607 PATENT 9. 10. Paragraphs 1-8 are incorporated by reference as if set forth here in full. On information and belief, Audiovox has infringed and continues to infringe,
contributorily infringe and/or induce infringement of one or more claims of the ‘607 patent, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(a), (b), (c), and/or (g), either directly or indirectly, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering for sale and selling in the United States, and by importing in the United States, without authority, vehicle rear view camera systems and related components including but not limited to Audiovox ACA240 2.5’ Wireless Vehicle Rear View Camera System; Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System; Audiovox ACA300 Wireless Monitor/Back-up Camera Transmitter/Receiver Kit; and Audiovox ACA450 Wireless Color Monitor/Back-up Camera Package (the “Accused Products”).1 11. Audiovox directly infringes and/or will infringe one or more claims of the ‘607 patent

patent by others through Audiovox’s making, using, selling, and offering to sell vehicle rear view camera systems and related components including the Accused Products. Further, on information and belief, Audiovox contributes to the infringement of the ‘607 patent because Audiovox knows that its vehicle rear view camera systems and related components are made for use in infringement and are not staple articles of commerce suitable for a substantial non-infringing use. Audiovox specifically instructs that the vehicle rear view camera systems and related components be set-up in a

manner that infringes one or more claims of the ‘607 patent. Audiovox states in various user manuals that use of the vehicle rear view camera systems and related components in any other fashion could lead to defective or undesirable operation. 13. On information and belief, Audiovox’s infringement of the ‘607 patent has been and
continues to be deliberate and willful, thereby rendering this an exceptional case pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 285. 14. If Audiovox’s infringing activities are not enjoined, Old World will suffer irreparable
harm that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award and for which there is no adequate remedy at law. 15. Old World has suffered economic harm as a result of Audiovox’s infringing activities
in an amount to be proven at trial. COUNT TWO – INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘207 PATENT 16. 17. Paragraphs 1-8 are incorporated by reference as if set forth here in full. On information and belief, Audiovox has infringed and continues to infringe,
contributorily infringe and/or induce infringement of one or more claims of the ‘207 patent, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(a), (b), (c), and/or (g), either directly or indirectly, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering for sale and selling in the United States, and by importing in the United States, without authority, vehicle rear view camera systems and related components including but not limited to Audiovox ACA240 2.5’ Wireless Vehicle Rear View Camera System; Audiovox ACA250 Wireless Vehicle Rear Observation System; and Audiovox ACA450 Wireless Color Monitor/Back-up Camera Package.
Audiovox directly infringes and/or will infringe one or more claims of the ‘207 patent
by making, using, selling, offering for sale, and importing vehicle rear view camera systems and related components. 19. On information and belief, Audiovox’s infringement of the ‘207 patent has been and
continues to be deliberate and willful, thereby rendering this an exceptional case pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 285. 20. If Audiovox’s infringing activities are not enjoined, Old World will suffer irreparable
harm that cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award and for which there is no adequate remedy at law. 21. Old World has suffered economic harm as a result of Audiovox’s infringing activities
in an amount to be proven at trial. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE Old World seeks the following relief from the Court: A. That this Court adjudge and decree that each of the claims of the ‘607 patent and the
claims of the ‘207 patent are valid and enforceable and that Audiovox has, directly infringed, induced infringement, and/or contributed to the infringement of one or more claims of each of ‘607 and the ‘207 patents and; B.

An award of damages, together with interest, to Old World in an amount adequate to
compensate Old World for Audiovox’s infringement of the Patents-In-Suit, as provided in 35 U.S.C. § 284; D. An adjudication that Audiovox has willfully infringed the ‘607 and the ‘207 patents
and an increase in the award of damages to Old World up to three times in view of Audiovox’s willful infringement; E. A declaration that this is an exceptional case under 35 U.S.C. § 285 and that Old
