Defendants are in the business of manufacturing, distributing and/or selling
network-based telephony initiation systems and/or services throughout the United States, including in this judicial jurisdiction. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 9. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
§§1331 and 1338(a) because the action arises under the Patent Laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. 10. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants by virtue of their systematic
and continuous contacts with this jurisdiction, as alleged herein, as well as because of the injury to Telinit, and the cause of action Telinit has risen, as alleged herein. 11. Each of the Defendants is subject to this Court’s specific and general personal
jurisdiction pursuant to due process and/or the Texas Long Arm Statute, due at least to its substantial business in this forum, including: (i) at least a portion of the infringements alleged herein; and (ii) regularly doing or soliciting business, engaging in other persistent courses of conduct, and/or deriving substantial revenue from goods and services provided to individuals in Texas and in this Judicial District. 12. Defendants have conducted and do conduct business within the state of Texas,
including the geographic region within the Eastern District of Texas, directly or through intermediaries, resellers or agents, or offer for sale, sell, advertise (including the use of interactive web pages with promotional material) products or services, or use or induce others to use services or products in Texas that infringe the ‘123 Patent, knowingly induce others to infringe and/or contribute to infringement of the ‘123 Patent occurring within Texas and elsewhere.
In addition to the Defendants’ continuously and systematically conducting
business in Texas, the causes of action against Defendants are connected (but not limited) to Defendants’ purposeful acts committed in the state of Texas, including the geographic region within the Eastern District of Texas, including Defendants’ making, using, offering for sale, or selling network-based telephony initiation systems which include features that fall within the scope of at least one claim of the ‘123 Patent. 14. Venue lies in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391 and 1400(b). JOINDER 15. Defendants are properly joined under 35 U.S.C. § 299(a)(1) because a right to
relief is asserted against the parties jointly, severally, and in the alternative with respect to the same transactions, occurrences, or series of transactions or occurrences relating to the making, using, importing into the United States, offering for sale, and/or selling the same accused products. Specifically, as alleged in detail below, Defendants are alleged to infringe the ‘123 Patent with respect to a number of user-initiated web-based telephony products. 16. Defendants are properly joined under 35 U.S.C. § 299(a)(2). Questions of fact
will arise that are common to all defendants, including for example, whether the overlapping web-based telephony products alleged to infringe have features that meet the features of one or more claims of the ‘123 Patent, and what reasonable royalty will be adequate to compensate the owner of the ‘123 Patent for its infringement. 17. Defendant Ribbit is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT Americas, who along with
BT Conferencing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BT (collectively, the “BT Family”). On or around July 29, 2008, BT announced that it “ha[d] acquired Ribbit Corporation” and that while it “will maintain its management team and identity, will extend its global footprint by becoming
part of BT”. (See Exhibit “B”). Each member of the BT Family offers the same telephony services that infringe on the ‘123 Patent by virtue of BT’s ownership of the aforementioned related subsidiary entities. BT acquired Ribbit for the web-based telephony platform that Ribbit offered so that it could offer telephony initiation services to its customers. Each member of the BT family offers these services under a variety of brands. For example, brands such as BT OneVoice (which further includes specific offerings such as OneVoice Conferencing and OneVoice mobile access, and are sometimes collectively referred to as BT One) (collectively “BT Telephony Products”), Ribbit Mobile and Ribbit for Salesforce. 18. The BT Family Defendants offer telephony services which infringe on the ‘123
Patent. For example, the BT Family offers IP telephony services, such as the BT Telephony Products which gives users the ability to initiate telephone calls. 19. At least one right to relief is asserted against these parties jointly, severally, or in
the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences relating to the making, using, importing into the United States, offering for sale, or selling of the same accused product and/or process.

Services provided by the BT Family include distributing special-purpose software
applications to subscribers made by the BT Family (hereinafter “Client Software”), , for example, but not limited to, Ribbit Phone, designed specifically to communicate with servers believed to be owned and/or controlled by Defendants (hereinafter “BT Family Servers”). 28. The BT Family Servers are accessible over a data network, and perform functions
such as receiving data requests over the network enabling subscribers and third parties to initiate telephony communications with each other. The requests include a user telephone number, such as telephone numbers identifying the Client Software subscriber. 29. The BT Family Servers also identify stored telephone numbers, such as by
maintaining contact lists that can be accessed from multiple Client Software installations. 30. The BT Family Servers signal a switch to call a voice network, such as a PSTN,
to other telephone devices identified by stored telephone numbers, such as contact list phone numbers, for example, after a user selects a stored contact number and clicks the “Call” button on a Ribbit application, it signals a switch to complete a call on the voice network to the stored telephone number. 31. The BT Family Servers monitor call status and provide indications of status
changes, including providing status indications to Client Software interfaces. 32. The BT Family Servers also include input components designed to receive data
requests over the network enabling subscribers and third parties to initiate telephony communications with each other. Those requests include a user telephone number, such as telephone numbers identifying the Client Software subscriber. 33. The BT Family Servers include processing components designed to identify
