`
`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.

`
`
`
`* * *
`
` 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
`
`
`

`
`DISH, Exh. 1010, p. 5
`
`
`
`Case: 1:14-cv-07504 Document #: 17 Filed: 11/13/14 Page 6 of 17 PageID #:105
`
`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.

`network and a second network as claimed, Defendants have been and are now directly infringing
`
`under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) one or more claims of the 567 Patent, either literally or under the
`
`doctrine of equivalents.
`
`38.
`
`Upon information and belief, with knowledge of the 567 Patent (at least since the
`
`filing date of this Amended Complaint, or by November 12, 2014 when Notice was given to
`
`Defendants), Defendants have been and are inducing direct infringement of the 567 Patent by
`
`their customers, suppliers, users, agents and/or affiliates. Defendants actively induce, and have
`
`actively induced, such direct infringement by knowingly and with intent actively inducing their
`
`customers, suppliers, users, agents and/or affiliates to make and use Defendants’ ViP DVRs and
`
`Hopper DVRs with Sling, and related products and services with a second interface as claimed in
`
`the 567 Patent and/or perform methods of interconnecting first and second networks as claimed
`
`in the 567 Patent. Defendants induce such direct infringement with the knowledge and specific
`
`intent to encourage, direct and facilitate those directly infringing activities, and knowing that
`
`such activities directly infringe the 567 Patent, including through the creation and dissemination
`
`of hardware, software, promotional and marketing materials, instructional materials, product
`
`materials and technical materials. For non-limiting example, Defendants induce their customers
`
`to perform the claimed methods and to complete the claimed apparatuses by providing
`
`Defendants’ ViP DVRs and Hopper DVRs with Sling, and related products and services, and
`
`User Manuals, software and instructions, which provide apparatus and instructions on how to set
`
`up Defendants’ products and services with their customers’ wireless interface in such a manner
`
`to directly infringe the 567 Patent.

`
`39.
`
`By inducing their customers, suppliers, users, agents and/or affiliates to perform
`
`the methods claimed and/or make and use the devices claimed in the 567 Patent, Defendants
`
`have been and are now infringing under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) one or more claims of the 567
`
`Patent, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`40.
`
`Defendants will continue to infringe the 567 Patent unless and until they are
`
`enjoined by this Court.
`
`41.
`
`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:

`E.
