Fastvdo v. Harris
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE FASTVDO LLC, Plaintiff, v.
HARRIS CORPORATION, DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL Defendant. Civil Action No.
COMPLAINT Plaintiff FastVDO LLC (“FastVDO”) alleges as follows: PARTIES 1. FastVDO is a Florida limited liability corporation with a principal place of
business at 750 N. Atlantic Ave., Cocoa Beach, FL 32931. 2. On information and belief, Harris Corporation (“Harris”) is a Delaware
corporation with a principal place of business at 1025 West NASA Boulevard, Melbourne, Florida 32919. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. This is an action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the
United States of America, 35 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., including § 271. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a). 4. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Harris because, among other reasons,
Harris is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Harris has conducted and continues to conduct regular and ongoing business in Delaware. Additionally, on information and belief, Harris has committed and continues to commit acts of direct and indirect infringement in this District by making, using, importing, offering for sale, and/or selling infringing products, and inducing others to perform method steps claimed by FastVDO’s patent in Delaware.
because, among other reasons, Harris is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, and Harris has conducted and continues to conduct regular and ongoing business in Delaware. Additionally, on information and belief, Harris has committed and continues to commit acts of direct and indirect infringement in this District by making, using, importing, offering for sale, and/or selling infringing products, and inducing others to perform method steps claimed by FastVDO’s patent in Delaware. COUNT I (Infringement of U.S. Patent No. RE 40,081) 6. FastVDO is the owner by assignment and merger of United States Patent No. RE
40,081 (“the ‘081 patent”), entitled “Fast Signal Transforms With Lifting Steps.” The ‘081 patent reissued on February 19, 2008, based on an initial application filed December 16, 1998. A true and correct copy of the ‘081 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The ‘081 patent enables digital video compression through the coding and decoding of blocks of digital image intensities with a block coder and transform coder that utilizes an invertible linear transform having a +/-1 butterfly step, a lifting step, and a scaling factor. International Telecommunications Union – Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 Part 10, Audio Video Coding or AVC) (herein “H.264” or “MPEG-4 AVC”) is a video compression standard that performs digital image compression by coding and decoding blocks of digital image intensities with a block coder and with a transform coder that includes an invertible linear transform, which is representable as a cascade using at least one +/-1 butterfly step, at least one lifting step, and at least one scaling factor. The FastVDO patent is essential to the H.264 standard, and it was properly identified to the International Telecommunications Union on May 14, 2003, before the promulgation of the H.264 standard in March 2005. 7. On information and belief, in violation of one or more provisions of 35 U.S.C.
§ 271, Harris has infringed one or more claims of the ‘081 patent by making, using, importing, selling, or offering to sell networking and encoding products and solutions that use H.264 to 2
code and/or decode video, including, but not limited to, NetVX –Video Networking Platform, ENC-A21, NetVX SYS-H264, NetPlus M400, and the Selenio Media Convergence Platform. Additionally, Harris has had knowledge of the ‘081 patent since at least November 8, 2012,1 or alternatively since being served with this complaint, and Harris has induced others, such as its customers and/or consumers of H.264 content produced by its customers, to code and/or decode video with H.264 and practice the method steps of the ‘081 patent with its marketing materials, advertising materials, manuals and customer support services since at least this time. For example, the Video Networking Guide available on Harris’s website states that “the diverse Harris networking and encoding portfolio enables you to customize a solution to meet your particular requirements quickly and easily, whether the need is compressed or uncompressed transport, MPEG-2 or JPEG 2000, H.264, SD or HD”.2 This guide promotes the H.264 video encoding features of its accused products. Id. at 4 (Net-VX “Main Features” –“H.264 (MPEG-4) HD/SD audio and video encoding”), at 7 (ENC-A21 “Features” – “Advanced H.264 HD encoder”), at 19 (“The SYS-H264 is the industry’s first H.264 4:2:2 profile encoder.”), at 20 (“The NetPlus™ M400 is a broadcast-grade satellite receiver/decoder (IRD) that supports a wide range of global standards for video and audio compression. … Every unit supports MPEG-2 and H.264 video compression…”). These representative marketing materials exemplify how Harris induces its customers to use its accused products to code and/or decode video with H.264, and/or code video with H.264 and transmit compressed video to others for decoding and viewing to perform the method steps of the ‘081 patent (e.g., coding and decoding blocks of digital image intensities with a block coder and coder that utilizes an invertible linear transform having a +/butterfly step, a lifting step, and a scaling factor). By continuing the representative aforementioned activities with knowledge of the ‘081 patent and its essentiality to the H.264 standard, Harris has known, or should have known, that it was inducing infringement by causing the method steps of the ‘081 patent to be performed.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF FastVDO prays for the following relief: 1. A judgment that Harris has directly infringed (either literally or under the doctrine
of equivalents) one or more claims of the ‘081 patent; 2. ‘081 patent; 3. A permanent injunction enjoining Harris and its officers, directors, agents, A judgment that Harris has induced the infringement of one or more claims of the
servants, affiliates, employees, divisions, branches, subsidiaries, parents, and all others acting in active concert or participation with them, from infringing each of the ‘081 patent; 4. An award of damages resulting from Harris’s acts of infringement in accordance
with 35 U.S.C. § 284; 5. A judgment and order finding that this is an exceptional case within the meaning
of 35 U.S.C. § 285 and awarding to FastVDO its reasonable attorneys’ fees; 6. A judgment and order requiring Harris to provide an accounting and to pay
supplemental damages to FastVDO, including without limitation, pre-judgment and postjudgment interest; and 7. Any and all other relief to which FastVDO may show itself to be entitled. DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL FastVDO demands a trial by jury on all issues so triable.
