`
`COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
`
`Plaintiff Carrier Global Corporation (“Plaintiff” or “Carrier”), by its attorneys, files this Complaint against
`
`Defendant EcoFactor, Inc. (“Defendant” or “EcoFactor”) and alleges as follows:
`
`NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This is an action for declaratory judgment of noninfringement of US. Patent Nos. 8,423,322 (the
`
`“’322 Patent”), 8,019,567 (the “’567 Patent”), 10,612,983 (the “’983 Patent”), 8,596,550 (the “’550”),
`
`8,886,488 (the “’488 Patent”) (collectively, “Asserted Patents”), attached as Exhibits 1-5 respectively)
`
`against EcoFactor, pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 USC §§ 2201-02, and the patent laws of
`
`the U.S., 35 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and for other relief the Court deems just and proper.
`
`2.
`
`Carrier requests this relief because EcoFactor has filed a complaint with the International Trade
`
`Commission (“ITC”), Docket No. 337-3535, claiming Carrier, among other proposed respondents, has
`
`infringed the Asserted Patents because Carrier manufactures outside of the U.S. and has sold for importation
`
`into the U.S., imported into the U.S., and/or sold within the U.S. after importation, certain “Carrier Accused
`
`Products” as defined therein. A true and correct copy of EcoFactor’s public ITC complaint is attached as
`
`Exhibit 6. The products accused in the ITC Investigation are Carrier’s smart thermostat system (e.g.,
`
`Infinity System Control), including device-side and cloud-base features thereof, and related accessories
`
`(e.g., Infinity Series, Infinity System products, and ecobee3 light Pro and ecobee Smart Thermostat Pro

`
`
`
`with voice control) (collectively “Accused Products”). Carrier denies infringement of the claims of the
`
`Asserted Patents.
`
`PARTIES
`
`3.
`
`Plaintiff Carrier is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware
`
`with a principle place of business located at 13995 Pasteur Blvd, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33148.
`
`4.
`
`On information and belief, EcoFactor, Inc. is a privately held company organized and existing
`
`under the laws of the State of Delaware with a principal place of business located at 441 California Avenue,
`
`Number 2, Palo Alto, California 94306.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`5.
`
` Carrier files this complaint against EcoFactor pursuant to the patent laws of the United States, Title
`
`35 U.S.C. § et seq, with a specific remedy sought based upon the laws authorizing actions for declaration
`
`judgment in the federal courts of the United States, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202, and under patent laws of
`
`the United States, 35 U.S.C. §§ 1-390.
`
`6.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to the patent laws of the United
`
`States’ patent laws, and 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338(a), and 2201(a).
`
`7.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over EcoFactor, which on information and belief is
`
`incorporated within this District.
`
`8.
`
`A substantial controversy of sufficient immediacy and reality exists between the parties to warrant
`
`the issuance of a declaratory judgment. EcoFactor has filed a complaint in the ITC, alleging that Carrier
`
`directly and indirectly infringes claims of each of the Asserted Patents through Carrier’s sale for
`
`importation, importation, and/or sale within the United States after importation of the Accused Products.
`
`Exhibit 6 (Public Complaint in Certain Smart Thermostat Systems, Smart HVAC Systems, Smart HVAC
`
`Control Systems, and Components Thereof, 337-DN-3535 (I.T.C. Feb. 26, 2021)) at ¶¶ 78, 104-111; Exhibit
`
`6 (claim charts for Carrier accused products attached as Exhibits 21-25 to the ITC Complaint). Carrier
`
`denies infringement of the claims of the Asserted Patents.

`
`15.
`
`Carrier’s Accused Products do not directly or indirectly infringe any asserted claim of the Asserted
`
`Patents, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents. Carrier has not caused, directed, requested, or
`
`facilitated any such infringement, and it did not have any specific intent to do so.
`
`DISPUTE BETWEEN CARRIER AND ECOFACTOR
`CONCERNING THE ASSERTED PATENTS
`On February 26, 2021, EcoFactor filed the ITC Complaint alleging that Carrier, among
`
`16.
`
`others, purportedly infringes certain claims of the Asserted Patents. Exhibit 6 at ¶¶ 78, 104-111;
`
`(claim charts for Carrier accused products attached as Exhibits 21-25 to the ITC Complaint).
`
`EcoFactor’s ITC Complaint alleges that the Accused Products purportedly infringe “either literally
`
`or pursuant to the doctrine of equivalents, and either directly or indirectly under a theory of
`
`inducement or contributory infringement.” Exhibit 6 at ¶ 110.
`
`17.
`
`Accordingly, an actual and justiciable controversy exists between Carrier and EcoFactor
`
`concerning whether Carrier infringes one or more claims of any of the Asserted Patents. Carrier
`
`now seeks a declaratory judgment that Carrier does not infringe the claims of the Asserted Patents.
`
`COUNT I:
`DECLARATORY JUDGMENT OF NONINFRINGEMENT OF THE ’322 PATENT
`
`18.
`
`Carrier hereby restates and incorporates by reference the allegations set forth in paragraphs
`
`1 through 17 of this Complaint as if fully set forth herein.
`
`19.
`
`In its ITC complaint, EcoFactor alleges that Carrier directly and indirectly infringes the
`
`’322 Patent. See e.g., Ex. 6, ¶¶ 4, (Table 1), 84, 85.

`Case 1:21-cv-00328-UNA Document 1 Filed 03/03/21 Page 5 of 12 PageID #: 5
`
`
`
`20.
`
`The Accused Products do not include or practice multiple claim limitations of the ’322
`
`Patent, including but not limited to the following limitations of claim 1: “one or more processors
`
`that receive measurements of outside temperatures from at least one source other than said HVAC
`
`system and compare said temperate measurements from said first structure”, “wherein said one or
`
`more processor compares the inside temperature of said first structure and the outside temperature
`
`over time”, and “wherein said one or more processors compares an inside temperature recorded
`
`inside the first structure with an inside temperature of said first structure recorded at a different
`
`time to determine whether the operational efficiency of the HVAC system has decreased over
`
`time.”
`
`21.
`
`The Accused Products do not include or practice multiple claim limitations of the ’322
`
`Patent, including but not limited to the following limitations of claim 8: “one or more processors
`
`that receive measurements of outside temperatures from at least one source other than said first
`
`and second HVAC systems and compare said temperature measurements from said first HVAC
`
`system and said second HVAC system and said outside temperature measurements over time to
`
`determine the relative efficiency of the first HVAC system and the second HVAC system.”
`
`22.
`
`An actual and justiciable controversy therefore exists between Carrier and EcoFactor
`
`regarding whether any of the Accused Products have infringed the ’322 Patent. A judicial
`
`declaration is necessary to determine the parties’ respective rights regarding the ’322 Patent.
`
`23.
`
`Carrier seeks a judgment declaring that Carrier does not directly or indirectly infringe any
`
`asserted claims of the ’322 Patent, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents and is not
`
`liable for any infringement.

`
`system and compare said temperature measurements from said first structure”, “wherein said one
`
`or more processors compares the inside temperature of said first structure and the outside
`
`temperature over time to derive an estimation for the rate of change in inside temperature of said
`
`first structure when said HVAC system is in a first state of repair”, “wherein said one or more
`
`processors compares an inside temperature recorded inside the first structure with said estimation
`
`for the rate of change in inside temperature of said first structure to determine whether the
`
`operational efficiency of the HVAC system has decreased over time,” and “wherein if said
`
`operational efficiency has decreased, said one or more processors analyzes the changes in the
`
`operational efficiency over time to suggest a cause of degradation.”
`
`27.
`
`The Accused Products do not include or practice multiple claim limitations of the ’567
`
`Patent, including but not limited to the following limitations of claim 8: “one or more processors
`
`that receive measurements of outside temperatures from at least one source other than said first
`
`and second HVAC systems and compare said temperature measurements from said first HVAC
`

`
`more processors said temperature measurements from said first structure with outside temperature
`
`measurements over time to derive expected temperature measurements of a rate of change in inside
`
`temperature of said first structure when the HVAC system is in a first state of repair”, “wherein
`
`the expected temperature measurements are based at least in part upon past temperature
`
`measurements and based at least in part on outside temperature measurements”, and “wherein said
`
`one or more processors compares an inside temperature recorded inside the first structure with said
`
`expected temperature measurements to determine whether the operational efficiency of the HVAC
`
