`
`

`
`United States, including 35 U.S.C. §§ 271 and 281-285.
`
`5.
`
`Upon information and belief, FORJ has transacted business and has committed
`
`tortious acts of patent infringement within the State of New York and within this Judicial District
`
`with respect to the ‘274 and ‘762 Patents, and is thereby subject to the personal jurisdiction of
`
`this Court.
`
`6.
`
`Venue is proper in this Judicial District under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and l400(b).
`
`Count I: FORJ’s Infringement Of The ‘274 Patent
`
`7.
`
`Audiovox is the legal owner by assignment of the ‘274 Patent, a copy of which is
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit A. The ‘274 patent, entitled “Headrest Mountable Video System”,
`
`was duly and lawfully issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on July 17, 2007.
`
`8.
`
`Audiovox markets and sells, throughout the United States, headrest mountable
`
`video systems embodying the claimed invention of the ‘274 Patent through its wholly owned
`
`subsidiary, Audiovox Electronics Corporation (“Audiovox Electronics”). Audiovox Electronics
`
`is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal
`
`place of business at 180 Marcus Boulevard, Hauppauge, New York. All profits from Audiovox
`
`Electronics’ sales of video systems embodying the patented invention flow to Audiovox.
`
`9.
`
`Upon information and belief, FORJ has infringed and continues to infringe
`
`(directly, indirectly, contributorily and/or by inducement) the ‘274 Patent by making, using,
`
`importing, offering to sell and/or selling (directly or through intermediaries) headrest mountable
`
`video systems embodying one or more of the Patent’s claims in this Judicial District and
`
`elsewhere, including, for example, the DVD72l-IR video system.
`
`10.
`
`Upon information and belief, FORJ’s infringement of the ‘274 Patent has been,
`
`and continues to be, willful, deliberate, intentional and without color of right.

`
`FORJ’s infringement of the ‘274 Patent, including, inter alia, lost profits and the erosion of
`
`Audiovox’s statutory right to exclude others from practicing the claimed invention.
`
`13.
`
`Audiovox is entitled to all damages adequate to fully compensate Audiovox for
`
`FORJ’s willful infringement of the ‘274 Patent.
`
`Count II: FORJ’s Infringement Of The ‘762 Patent
`
`14.
`
`Upon information and belief, Christopher J. Vitito (“Vitito”) is the legal owner by
`
`assignment of the ‘762 Patent, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. The ‘762 Patent,
`
`entitled “Overhead Console Having Flip-Down Monitor”, was duly and lawfully issued by the
`
`U.S. Patent and Trademark Office July 7, 1998. Audiovox is the exclusive licensee of the ‘762
`
`Patent, having acquired from Vitito all substantial rights in the Patent, including the exclusive
`
`right to enforce the ‘762 Patent against any and all infringers.
`
`15.
`
`Audiovox markets and sells, throughout the United States, overhead DVD players
`
`embodying the claimed invention of the ‘762 Patent through its wholly owned subsidiary,
`
`Audiovox Electronics. All profits from Audiovox Electronics’ sales of overhead DVD players
`
`embodying the patented invention flow to Audiovox.
`
`16.
`
`Upon information and belief, FORJ has infringed and continues;
`
`to infringe
`
`(directly, indirectly, contributorily and/or by inducement) the ‘762 Patent by making, using,
`
`importing, offering to sell andlor selling (directly or through intermediaries) overhead consoles
`
`having a flip down monitor embodying one or more ofthe Patent’s claims in this Judicial District
`
`and elsewhere, including, for example, the DVD90FD Video System.

`
`and continues to be, willful, deliberate, intentional and without color of right.
`
`18.
`
`Upon information and belief, FORJ ‘s willful infringement of the ‘762 Patent will
`
`continue unless permanently enjoined.
