`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`Plaintiff
`
`repeats and re-alleges the allegations in Paragraphs
`
`and
`
`as though
`
`fully set forth in their entirety
`
`This action arises under the patent
`
`laws of the United States Title 35 United
`
`States Code
`
`et seq This Court has exclusive subject matter jurisdiction over this case for
`
`patent
`
`infringementunder 28 U.S.C
`
`1331 and 1338a
`
`Personal jurisdiction exists generally over the Defendant because it has sufficient
`
`minimum contacts with the forum as
`
`result of business conducted within the State of Delaware
`
`Personal
`
`jurisdiction also exists specifically over the Defendant because it directly or through
`
`subsidiaries or
`
`intermediaries makes uses offers for sale sells imports advertises makes
`
`available and/or markets products and services within the State of Delaware that
`
`infringe the
`
`Asserted Patents as described more particularly below
`
`Venue is appropriate in the District of Delaware under 28 U.S.C
`
`1391b
`
`1391d and 1400b Venue is further supported because on September 30 2008 Microsoft
`
`filed
`
`declaratory judgment of patent
`
`invalidity and non-infringement
`
`involving the same patents
`
`Parallel Networks is asserting against Microsoft
`
`in this litigation
`
`Venue is further supported by
`
`the fact
`
`that this District and Court have significant experience with the patents asserted in this
`
`lawsuit and the related technology because of the activities and experience garnered in Oracle

`
`INFRINGEMENT OF THE 554 PATENT
`
`12
`
`Plaintiff
`
`repeats and re-alleges the allegations
`
`in Paragraphs
`
`through 11
`
`as
`
`though fully set forth in their entirety
`
`13
`
`Microsoft
`
`has directly infringed and
`
`continues
`
`to infringe directly and/or
`
`indirectly the 554 Patent
`
`in this District or otherwise within the United States by making using
`
`selling offering to sell and/or
`
`importing in or into the United States without authority the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities that infringe one or more claims of the 554 Patent
`
`14
`
`Microsoft has induced and is inducing infringement of the 554 Patent under 35
`
`U.S.C
`
`271b by others in this District and elsewhere in the United States The direct
`
`infringement occurs by activities performed by Microsoft
`
`its contractors and employees and/or
`
`end users of the Accused Instrumentalities in their intended use including the management of
`
`dynamic Web page generation requests
`
`15
`
`Microsoft specifically intends the users of
`
`the Accused Instrumentalities to
`
`infringe the 554 Patent or alternatively has been willfully blind to the possibility that
`
`its
`
`inducing acts would cause infringement By way of example and not as
`
`limitation Microsoft
`
`induces such infringement by its affirmative actions of at least making its web site and/or web site
`
`functionality available to customers and providing links and/or other directions on its website
`
`and/or
`
`the internet
`
`to instruct
`

`
`On information and
`
`belief Microsofts customers use the Accused Instrumentalities to manage and host dynamic
`
`Web pages as described and claimed in the Asserted Patents
`
`16
`
`Through
`
`its
`
`sales and support activities Microsoft
`
`specifically
`
`intends its
`
`customers to infringe the 554 Patent Microsoft was and remains aware that the normal and
`
`customary use of the Accused Instrumentalities in connection with the management of dynamic
`
`Web page generation requests infringes the 554 patent Thus Microsofts customers by using
`
`the Accused Instrumentalities directly infringe the claimed methods of the 554 Patent
`
`17
`
`Microsoft
`
`possesses
`
`knowledge
`
`that use of
`
`the Accused
`
`Instrumentalities
`
`infringes the 554 Patent For example in October 2008 Microsoft was the subject of
`
`Third-
`
`Party Complaint
`
`in which
`
`customer of Microsoft sought
`
`indemnification for claims of patent
`
`infringement on the Asserted Patents
`
`In November 2008 Microsoft
`
`filed
`
`Complaint
`
`in
`
`Delaware against Parallel Networks predecessor-in-interest
`
`seeking
`
`declaratory judgment of
`
`non-infringement and
`
`invalidity
`
`of
`
`the Asserted Patents Therefore Microsoft
`
`has had
`
`knowledge of the claims of the Asserted Patents and specific knowledge that customers use of
`
`the Accused Instrumentalities infringes the 554 Parallel Networks provided Microsoft

`
`Accordingly
`
`reasonable inference is that Microsoft specifically
`
`intends for
`
`others such as resellers and end-users to directly infringe one or more claims of the 554 Patent
`
`in the United States because Microsoft has knowledge of the 554 Patent and Microsoft actually
`
`induces others such as resellers and end-users to directly infringe the 554 Patent by using
`
`selling offering to sell exporting supplying and/or distributing within the United States the
`
`Accused Instrumentalities Upon information and belief Microsoft has generated
`
`significant
`
`revenue in connection with the sales of the Accused Instrumentalities Microsoft knew or should
`
`have known that such actions would induce actual
`
`infringement
`
`19
`
`Microsoft
`
`indirectly infringes one or more claims of
`
`the 554 Patent by
`
`contributory
`
`infringement under 35 U.S.C
`
`271c
`
`Direct
`
`infringement
`
`is the result of
`
`activities performed by resellers and end users of the Accused Instrumentalities Microsoft had
`
`actual notice of the 554 Patent at least by October 2008 and received further notice from Parallel
`
`Networks as of September 14 2012
`
`20
`
`The Accused Instrumentalities include particular functionality within web servers
`
`dispatchers page servers and data sources relating to the management of dynamic Web page
`
`generation requests
`
`The Accused Instrumentalities do not
`
`function in an acceptable manner
`
`absent
`
`the
`
`claimed
`
`functionality for managing dynamic Web
`
`page generation
`
`requests
`
`Furthermore the functionality of managing dynamic Web page generation requests does not
`
`operate in isolation but is designed to operate with the Accused Instrumentalities and absent
`
`the
`
`claimed functionality the Accused Instrumentalities would not operate in an acceptable manner
`

`
`The accused Microsoft
`

`

`
`Request Routing and/or Component Load Balancing and Network Load Balancing NLB used
`
`for example in conjunction with Microsofts SQL Server Reporting Services are especially

`
`The system and software for managing dynamic Web page generation requests is

`

`
`The system and software for managing dynamic Web page generation requests in
`
`the Accused Instrumentalities are material part of the invention of the 554 Patent and are
`
`especially made or adapted for the infringing manufacture
`
`sale and/or
`
`use of the Accused
`
`Instrumentalities
`
`The Accused Instrumentalities including the Microsoft
`

`
`Information
`
`Services
`
`IIS including Application Request Routing and/or Component Load Balancing and
`
`Network Load Balancing NLB used for example in conjunction with Microsofts SQL Server
`
`Reporting Services
`
`are especially made or adapted
`
`for management of dynamic Web
`
`page
`
`requests that infringe the 554 Patent
`
`Because sales and use of the Accused Instrumentalities
`
`including the system and software for managing dynamic Web page generation requests infringe
`
`the 554 Patent Microsofts sales of the Accused Instrumentalities have no substantial non-
`
`infringing uses
`

`
`Accordingly Microsoft makes offers for sale or sells within the United States

`
`combination or composition or material or

`
`Direct

`
`The system and software for managing dynamic Web page generation requests is

`
`the 335 Patent Microsofts sales of the Accused Instrumentalities have no substantial non-
