`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`11.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claims pleaded
`
`herein under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 133 8(a) because the action concerns a federal
`
`question arising under the patent laws of the United States, including 35 U.S.C. §
`
`271.
`
`12. Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 139l(b), (c)
`
`and l400(b) because, among other reasons, APEX Medical, APEX Medical USA,
`
`and Drive are subject to personal jurisdiction in this judicial district and have
`
`committed acts of infringement in this judicial district, and APEX Medical USA has
`
`a regular and established place of business in this judicial district.
`
`13. Upon information and belief, APEX has placed infringing products into
`
`the stream of commerce by shipping those products into this judicial district and/or
`
`by knowing that such products would be shipped into this judicial district. APEX’s
`
`established distribution network distributes accused products directly to customers
`
`located in this district.
`
`14. Upon information and belief, APEX’s established distribution network
`
`also distributes accused products to intermediary suppliers like Drive, who distribute
`
`the products nationally, including in this district. By shipping into, selling, offering
`
`to sell, and/or using products that infringe the patents-in-suit in this district, or by
`
`inducing or causing those acts to occur, Defendants have transacted and continue to
`
`transact business and perform work and services in this district, have supplied and
`
`continue to supply services and things in this district, have caused and continue to

`
`BACKGROUND
`
`32.
`
`ResMed is a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical
`
`equipment for treating, diagnosing, and managing sleep-disordered breathing and
`
`other respiratory disorders. The company is dedicated to developing innovative
`
`products to improve the lives of those who suffer from these conditions and to
`
`increasing awareness among patients and healthcare professionals of the potentially
`
`serious health consequences of untreated sleep-disordered breathing (sometimes
`
`referred to as “SDB”). Since its founding in 1989, ResMed has focused on
`
`developing and commercializing systems for the treatment of obstructive sleep
`
`apnea (“OSA”), a major subset of SDB. ResMed’s development of innovative
`
`therapies for the treatment of OSA has resulted in over 3,000 patents granted or
`
`pending Worldwide, and its product line incorporates technology that is a highly
`
`effective and proven Way to treat OSA.
`
`33.
`
`ResMed’s portfolio of SDB products includes flow generators,
`
`humidifiers, diagnostic products, mask systems, headgear and other accessories,

`products also include certain sleep-disordered breathing treatment nasal masks,
`
`including the Mirage FX, Mirage FX for Her, Mirage Liberty, Mirage Micro,

`
`generator, such as the multiple variations of ResMed’s S9 flow generator, and a
`
`humidifier, such as the H5 i, which works in conjunction with each of ResMed’s
`
`various S9 flow generator units.
`
`34.
`
`ResMed marks its patents on some products and marks all of its
`
`products on its Website at: WWW.resmed.com/ip.
`
`35.
`
`On information and belief, APEX, on its own and/or through its
`
`subsidiaries, is in the business of manufacturing, packaging, importing, selling,
`
`offering to sell, and/or distributing a variety of sleep-disordered breathing treatment
`
`systems and components thereof including (a) flow generators and humidifiers,
`
`including, but not limited to, APEX’s XT Fit and iCH Auto (“the Accused APEX
`
`Devices”), and (b) masks, including, but not limited to, APEX’s “WiZARD”
`
`branded masks, including the WiZARD 210 which is intended to cover just the nose
`
`and the WiZARD 220 which is intended to cover the nose and mouth (“the Accused
`
`APEX Masks”). As used hereinafter, the phrase “Accused APEX Products” shall
`
`mean individually and collectively the Accused APEX Devices and the Accused
`
`APEX Masks.
`
`36.
`
`On information and belief, APEX offers for sale, sells, licenses, and/or
`
`distributes Accused APEX Products in the United States, including within this
`
`district, and/or imports the Accused APEX Products into the United States.

`
`sleep-disordered breathing treatment systems and components thereof. Drive

`
`On information and belief, Drive obtains the Accused APEX Masks
`
`from APEX and sells them in the United States and this district as Drive’s Freedom
`
`210 and Freedom 220 products (“Accused Drive Masks”).
`

`
`distributes Accused Drive Masks in the United States, including within this district,
`
`and/or imports the Accused Drive Masks into the United States.
`

`
`On information and belief, APEX was aware of ResMed’s products that
`
`practice the patents identified in this Complaint. On information and belief, because
`
`APEX was aware of ResMed’s products, APEX was also aware of ResMed patents
`
`as a result of patent marking, including the marking on the website. On information
`
`and belief, APEX’S acts of infringement of the patents identified below have
`
`occurred with knowledge of ResMed’s rights in its patents or with willful blindness
`
`thereto.
`
`FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF
`
`APEX’S INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 7,159,587
`
`41.
`
`The allegations of Paragraphs 1-40 are incorporated herein by
`
`reference.
`
`42. APEX has directly infringed the claims of the ’587 patent, literally
`
`and/or under the doctrine of equivalents, by using, offering to sell, and/or selling
`
`within the United States, and/or importing into the United States, the Accused
`
`APEX Masks.
`
`43.
`
`ResMed is well-known in the industry for making and selling SDB
`
`products and ResMed is well-known in the industry to be an innovator. ResMed
`
`also marks its products with its patents. Therefore, on information and belief,
`
`APEX either must have known about the ’5 87 patent or must have been willfully
`
`blind to it at the time they engaged in their infringing activities and, in any event,
`
`was aware of the ’587 patent at least as early as the service date of this complaint.

`
`import, sell and/or use the Accused APEX Masks in the United States with
`
`knowledge that such import, sale or use would infringe the ’587 patent. On
`
`information and belief, those customers and others in fact infringed the ’587 patent
`
