`
`6.

`
`OVERVIEW
`
`DISH Network Corporation was organized in 1995 as a corporation under the
`laws of the State of Nevada. We started offering the DISH branded pay-TV
`service in March 1996 and are the nation’s third largest pay-TV provider. . . .
`
`
` DISH. The DISH branded pay-TV service (“DISH”) had 14.057 million
`subscribers in the United States as of December 31, 2013. The DISH
`branded pay-TV service consists of Federal Communications Commission
`(“FCC”) licenses authorizing us to use direct broadcast satellite (“DBS”)
`and Fixed Satellite Service (“FSS”) spectrum, our satellites, receiver
`systems, third-party broadcast operations, customer service facilities, a
`leased fiber network, in-home service and call center operations, and
`certain other assets utilized in our operations. In addition, we market
`broadband services under the dishNET™ brand.
`
`
`
`

`
`Page 4 of 17
`
`

`
`
`
`* * *
`
` High-Quality Products. We offer a wide selection of local and national
`programming, featuring more national and local high definition (“HD”)
`channels than most pay-TV providers. We have been a technology leader
`in our industry, introducing award-winning DVRs, dual tuner receivers,
`1080p video on demand, and external hard drives. To maintain and
`enhance our competitiveness over the long term, we introduced the
`Hopper® set-top box during the first quarter 2012, which a consumer can
`use, at his or her option, to view recorded programming in HD in multiple
`rooms. During the first quarter 2013, we introduced the Hopper set-top
`box with Sling, which promotes a suite of integrated features and
`functionality designed to maximize the convenience and ease of watching
`TV anytime and anywhere, which we refer to as DISH Anywhere,™ that
`includes, among other things, online access and Slingbox “placeshifting”
`technology. In addition, the Hopper with Sling has several innovative
`features that a consumer can use, at his or her option, to watch and record
`television programming through certain tablet computers and combines
`program-discovery tools, social media engagement and remote-control
`capabilities through the use of certain tablet computers and smart phones.
`We recently introduced the Super Joey receiver. A consumer can use, at
`his or her option, the Super Joey combined with the Hopper to record up
`to eight shows at the same time.
`
`
`* * *
`Programming. We provide programming that includes more than: (i) 280 basic
`video channels, including, but not limited to, 25 regional sports channels and 70
`channels of pay-per-view content, (ii) 70 Sirius Satellite Radio music channels,
`(iii) 30 premium movie channels, (iv) 10 specialty sports channels, (v) 3,100
`standard definition and HD local channels, and (vi) 300 Latino and international
`channels. . . . As of December 31, 2013, we provided local channels in standard
`definition in all 210 TV markets in the U.S. and local channels in HD in more
`than 190 markets in the U.S.
`
`
`* * *
`DISH Anywhere. A consumer can use DISH Anywhere, at his or her option, to
`remotely control certain features of their DVRs as well as view live TV and DVR
`recordings (with required compatible hardware) using the DISH Anywhere
`application on compatible devices such as smartphones and tablets, or on laptops
`and home computers by accessing dishanywhere.com. Dishanywhere.com offers
`more than 85,000 movies, television shows, clips and trailers.
`
`Content Delivery
`
`Satellites. Our DISH branded programming is primarily delivered to customers
`using satellites that operate in the “Ku” band portion of the microwave radio
`
`
`
`5
`
`Page 5 of 17
`
`

`
`spectrum. The Ku-band is divided into two spectrum segments. The portion of the
`Ku-band that allows the use of higher power satellites – 12.2 to 12.7 GHz over the
`United States – is known as the Broadcast Satellite Service band, which is also
`referred to as the DBS band. The portion of the Ku-band that utilizes lower power
`satellites – 11.7 to 12.2 GHz over the United States – is known as the FSS band. .
`. . We own or lease capacity on 14 DBS satellites in geostationary orbit
`approximately 22,300 miles above the equator.
`
`Conditional Access System. Our conditional access system secures our
`programming content using encryption so that only authorized customers can
`access our programming. We use microchips embedded in credit card-sized
`access cards, called “smart cards,” or security chips in our receiver systems to
`control access to authorized programming content (“Security Access Devices”).
`
`See Exhibit C (select portion of Dish Form 10-K (2013 Amended Annual Report)), at pp. 1-3.
`
`16.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendants make, use, sell, lease, import and offer
`
`for sale in the United States products and services that allow users to transfer and display video
`
`and other content from Defendants’ wide area network, including but not limited to Defendants’
`
`television broadcasting services and DVR, Hopper and Sling products and services, and
`

`
`Defendants, by way of their infringing activities, have caused and continue to
`
`cause Qurio to suffer damages in an amount to be determined at trial. Plaintiff Qurio has no
`
`adequate remedy at law against Defendants’ acts of infringement and, unless Defendants are
`
`enjoined from its infringement of the 567 Patent, Plaintiff Qurio will continue to suffer
`
`irreparable harm.
`
`42.
`
`As a result of Defendants’ unlawful infringement of the 567 Patent, Plaintiff
`
`Qurio has suffered and will continue to suffer damage. Plaintiff Qurio is entitled to recover from
`
`Defendants the damages adequate to compensate for such infringement, which have yet to be
`
`determined.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Qurio respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor as
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`follows:
`
`A.
`
`Holding that Defendants have infringed, literally and/or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, one or more of the claims of the Plaintiff’s United States Patent No. 8,102,863;
`
`B.
`
`Holding that Defendants have infringed, literally and/or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, one or more of the claims of the Plaintiff’s United States Patent No. 7,787,904;
`
`
`

`Permanently enjoining Defendants and their officers, directors, agents, servants,

`
`infringement of any of Plaintiff’s Patents;
`
`E.
`
`Permanently enjoining the manufacture, use, offering for sale and/or sale of the

`
`F.
`
`Awarding to Qurio the damages to which it is entitled under 35 U.S.C. § 284 for
`
`Defendants’ past infringement and any continuing or future infringement up until the date
`
`Defendants are finally and permanently enjoined from further infringement, including
`
`compensatory damages;
`
`G.
`
`Declaring this to be an exceptional case and awarding Qurio’s attorneys’ fees
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 285;
`
`H.
`
`I.
`
`J.
`
`Awarding Qurio costs and expenses in this action;
