`
`
`
`Plaintiff Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”) complains and alleges as follows against
`
`Defendant ServiceNow, Inc. (“ServiceNow”).
`
`THE PARTIES
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiff HP is a Delaware corporation having a principal place of business at
`
`3000 Hanover Street, Palo Alto, California 94304.
`
`2.
`
`Founded in 1939 in a Palo Alto garage by college friends William Hewlett and
`
`David Packard, HP is today among the largest and most innovative technology companies in the
`
`world, serving customers in more than 170 countries with products ranging from software,
`
`personal computing, printing and imaging to IT infrastructure and digital entertainment. In the
`
`last decade alone, HP has invested more than 20 billion dollars in research and development, and
`
`has been awarded thousands of patents for its innovations by the U.S. Patent and Trademark
`
`Office.
`
`3.
`
`One of the fields in which HP has been a pioneer and industry leader is
`
`Information Technology Service Management, or ITSM. The proliferation of sophisticated and
`
`expensive IT networks of computers, software, and associated devices and services has made
`
`effective management of IT resources a mission-critical need for businesses and organizations of
`
`virtually any size. ITSM software provides the tools necessary to do just that. Demonstrating
`
`HP’s long-time leadership in ITSM, and ITSM software in particular, HP has led the
`
`development of the recognized industry framework of best practices for ITSM promulgated by
`
`the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL), including by authoring significant
`
`portions of past and current versions of ITIL. As a result of its innovations in ITSM, HP and the
`
`companies it has acquired collectively have been awarded numerous patents relating to managing
`
`and operating an IT infrastructure, including ITSM-specific patents.
`
`4.
`
`Defendant ServiceNow is a Delaware corporation having a principal place of
`
`business at 3260 Jay Street, Santa Clara, California 95054. ServiceNow maintains numerous
`
`offices around the world and is doing business in this judicial district.
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No.

`
`
`
`JURISDICTION
`
`5.
`
`6.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over ServiceNow because ServiceNow
`
`regularly does business in this judicial district and/or has infringed or caused infringement in
`
`California and in this district. Upon information and belief, ServiceNow derives significant
`
`revenue from the sale of infringing products within this district, and knows its actions will have
`
`consequences within this district.
`
`VENUE
`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b) and (c) because
`
`ServiceNow transacts business in this district, acts of infringement have been committed in this
`
`district, and ServiceNow is subject to personal jurisdiction in this district. In addition, venue is
`
`proper because HP’s principal place of business is in this district, and HP has suffered harm in
`
`this district.
`
`INTRADISTRICT ASSIGNMENT
`
`8.
`
`This Complaint includes an Intellectual Property Action for Patent Infringement,
`
`which is an excepted category under Civil Local Rule 3-2(c). Consequently, this action is
`
`assigned on a district-wide basis.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`HP’s History of Innovation
`
`9.
`
`HP is a pioneer in ITSM software and is a leading supplier of hardware and
`
`software information technology management solutions for businesses throughout the United
`
`States and the world. HP’s software offerings include a suite of software solutions for IT
`
`management, including application lifecycle management, automation and orchestration of IT
`
`operations, ITSM, security intelligence and risk management, hardware asset management and
`
`software asset management.
`
`10.
`
`HP introduced its first IT software products, known as the OpenView products, in
`
`the early 1990s and added service management capabilities to its OpenView products in 1996.
`
`HP has continually improved the technology through both its own research and development and
`
`Case No.

`
`
`
`acquisitions of some of the most innovative companies in the field. HP’s continued innovation
`
`in the field has allowed it to introduce new ITSM solutions for its customers and has resulted in
`
`HP being awarded patents on a continual basis that recognize that innovation.
`
`ServiceNow
`
`11.
`
`ServiceNow is a direct competitor of HP in the ITSM software market.
`
`ServiceNow’s products infringe numerous HP patents stemming from its technology
`
`investments, including at least those identified herein. As a result of ServiceNow’s infringement
`
`of HP’s patents, HP has suffered and continues to suffer irreparable harm, as well as damages in
`
`the form of lost profits and a reasonable royalty for ServiceNow’s infringement of those patents.
`
`Consequently, HP seeks a permanent injunction prohibiting the continued infringement of HP’s
`
`patents by ServiceNow’s products, as well as compensatory damages.
