`
`FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT
`
`THE PARTIES
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiff VirnetX Inc. (“VirnetX”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the
`
`State of Delaware, having its principal place of business at 5615 Scotts Valley Drive, Suite 110,
`
`Scotts Valley, California 95066.
`
`2.
`
`Upon information and belief, defendant Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) is a
`
`corporation organized under the laws of the State of Washington, having its principal place of
`
`business at One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington 98052. Microsoft is qualified to do
`
`business in the State of Texas, Filing No. 10404606, and has appointed Corporation Service
`
`Company, 701 Brazos Street, Suite 1050, Austin, Texas 78701, as its agent for service of process.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`3.
`
`This is an action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the
`
`United States, 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq. This Court has jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28
`
`U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).

`

`
`Case 6:07-cv-00080-LED Document 25 Filed 04/05/07 Page 2 of 9 PageID #: 199
`
`4.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Microsoft. Microsoft conducts business
`
`and has committed acts of patent infringement and/or has contributed to and/or induced acts of
`
`patent infringement by others in this district and the State of Texas (as well as elsewhere in the
`
`United States).
`
`5.
`
`Microsoft has also previously availed itself to this judicial district by filing suit
`
`against other litigants in this district, including for example the following: Microsoft Corp. v.
`
`Butcher, No. 2:06-cv-00371-DF (E.D. Tex. filed Sept. 15, 2006); Autodesk Inc. and Microsoft
`
`Corp. v. C&D Robotics Inc., No. 1:99-cv-103 (E.D. Tex. filed Feb. 26, 1999).
`
`6.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b), 1391(c)
`
`and 1400(b) because, among other things, Microsoft is subject to personal jurisdiction in this
`
`judicial district, has regularly conducted business in this judicial district, and certain of the acts
`
`complained of herein occurred in this judicial district.
