`
`(the “’428 Patent”), 5,754,946 (the “’946 Patent”), 5,581,804 (the “’804 Patent”), and 5,894,506
`
`(the “’506 Patent”) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §271 and alleges as follows:
`
`THE PARTIES
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiff MTel is a Delaware limited liability company with its principal place of
`
`business at 1720 Lakepointe Drive, Suite 100, Lewisville, Texas 75057.
`
`2.
`
`MTel is a wholly owned subsidiary of United Wireless Holdings, Inc. (“United
`
`Wireless”). In 2008, United Wireless, through another of its wholly owned subsidiaries,
`
`Velocita Wireless, LLC, purchased the SkyTel wireless network, including assets related to
`
`SkyTel’s more than twenty-year history as a wireless data company. Velocita Wireless, LLC,
`
`continued to operate the SkyTel wireless data network after the acquisition. As a result of that
`
`transaction, United Wireless gained ownership and control over the business, operations and
`
`intellectual property portfolio, including patents developed by the SkyTel-related entities,
`
`including Mobile Telecommunication Technologies Corp. (“MTel Corp.”). United Wireless
`
`subsequently assigned certain patent assets, including the Patents-in-Suit, together with all rights
`
`
`
`GOOGLE 1009
`
`1
`
`

`
`of recovery related to those patent assets, to its wholly owned subsidiary, MTel, which is the
`
`licensing division of United Wireless and the plaintiff here.
`
`3.
`
`MTel Corp. was a pioneer of two-way wireless data communications and in 1995
`
`launched the first nationwide two-way wireless data messaging service, dubbed SkyTel 2-Way.
`
`Prior to that launch, in 1993, MTel Corp. received a Pioneer Preference award from the Federal
`
`Communications Commission for technological achievement in developing its wireless data
`
`network.
`
`4.
`
`Upon information and belief, Google is a corporation organized and existing
`
`under the laws of the State of Delaware, which has a regular and established place of business in
`
`Texas. Google may be served with process through its registered agent, Corporation Service
`
`Company d/b/a CSC, 211 East 7th Street, Suite 620, Austin, Texas 78701.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`5.
`
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 of the
`
`United States Code. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1331 and
`
`1338(a).
`
`6.
`
`Venue lies in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§1391(b)-(d) and
`
`1400(b). Google has transacted business in this district and on information and belief has
`
`committed acts of infringement in this District.
`
`7.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Google under the laws of the State of
`
`Texas, including the Texas long-arm statute, TEX. CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE §17.042. Defendant
`
`Google has availed itself of the rights and benefits of this District by conducting business in this
`
`jurisdiction, including by promoting products or services, by selling products or services, or
`
`offering to sell products or services, for example via the internet, which is accessible to and
`
`accessed by residents of this District. Google maintains at least two offices in Texas, including
`
`MTEL’S ORIGINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST GOOGLE
`
`2
`
`2
`
`

`
`one in Austin, Texas and another in Dallas, Texas and sells and promotes the sales of its products
`
`and services in consumer retail locations throughout Texas, including in this District. Google
`
`uses or induces others to use its products or services in Texas, including in this District, that
`
`infringe the ’428 Patent, the ’946 Patent, ’804 Patent and the ’506 Patent, or knowingly
`
`contributes to infringement of the ’428 Patent, the ’946 Patent, ’804 Patent and the ’506 Patent.
`
`Thus venue is proper in this District.

`
`INFRINGEMENT OF THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT
`
`19.
`
`Plaintiff reincorporates by reference Paragraphs 1 through 18 as though fully
`
`restated herein.
`
`20.
`
`Google, without authorization or license, has been and is now directly infringing,
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, one or more claims of the ’428 Patent, the ’946
`
`Patent, the ’804 Patent, and the ’506 Patent (together, the “Patents-in-Suit”) in violation of 35
`
`U.S.C. §271 as stated below. Google’s infringement has been and will continue to be willful at
`
`least since its knowledge of the Patents-in-Suit.
`
`21.
`
`On November 17, 2014, MTel received a favorable jury verdict in Mobile
`
`Telecomms. Techs., LLC v. Apple No. 2:13-CV-258-RSP (E.D. Tex.). See Verdict attached as
`
`Exhibit E. The jury in that case found the features of accused Apple devices infringed some of
`
`the same Patents-in-Suit asserted here. Google’s messaging devices and messaging services on
`
`information and belief contain similar features and perform similar functions as those found to be
`
`infringing in Mobile Telecomms. Techs., LLC v. Apple.
`
`22.
`
`On December 31, 2012, MTel sent Motorola Mobility, Inc. by Certified mail a
`
`letter (Exhibit F) alerting Motorola Mobility, Inc. to patent infringement and offering a patent
`                                                            
`3 Case 2:13-cv-00258-RSP (D.I. 65 Verdict Form) 11/17/14 (Exhibit E).

`
`license. Motorola Mobility, Inc. responded early the next year. Motorola Mobility, Inc. did not
`
`deny infringement. Google had purchased Motorola Mobility, Inc. in early 2012 and retained it
`
`until October 2014 before selling most of it to the Chinese. Thus, Google owned Motorola
`
`Mobility, Inc. at the time MTel put Google (Motorola Mobility) on notice of its infringement of
`
`an identified claim of an identified patent owned by MTel.
`
`FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF
`(INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 5,809,428)
`
`23.
`
`Plaintiff MTel reincorporates by reference Paragraphs 1 through 22 as though
`
`fully set forth herein.

`enjoys a statutory presumption of validity separate, apart, and in addition to the statutory
`
`presumption of validity enjoyed by every other of its claims. 35 U.S.C. § 282.
`
`25.
`
`Google, without authorization or license, has been and is now directly infringing,
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, Claims 1-3 and Claims 8-10 of the ’428 Patent in
`
`violation of 35 U.S.C. §271. Google and all end-users of Google’s networks and software,
`
`including Google’s messaging applications, as well as messaging applications for use on Google
`
`networks, desktop software, mobile messaging software, or mobile operating systems are direct
`
`infringers of the ’428 Patent.
`
`26.
`
`Google and its end users have directly infringed, literally or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, and will continue to directly infringe Claims 1-3 and 8-10 of the ’428 Patent by
`
`making, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing into the United States applications and by
`
`offering messaging services “Google Messaging Services.” Google Messaging Services include,
`
`by way of example only, Google Messenger, Google Cloud Messaging (“GCM”), Google Talk,
`

`
`continue to act with an objectively high likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of that
`
`valid patent. Such infringement demonstrates a deliberate and conscious decision to infringe, or
`
`at least a reckless disregard of MTel’s patent rights, entitling MTel to up to treble damages. The

`
`

`
`69.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services on
`
`wireless devices includes a means for retransmitting radio frequency signals containing a portion
`
`of a message to a mobile unit.
`
`70.
`
`The use by end users of the Google Messaging Services also directly infringe the
`
`methods of receiving and transmitting messages at a mobile unit as claims in Claims 7-9 the ’946
`
`Patent.
`
`71.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services includes
`
`receiving at the mobile unit a radio frequency message.

`
`include highlighting errors in a message on a mobile unit.
`
`77. MTel gave Google actual notice of infringement of an identified patent claim of
`
`an identified MTel patent in 2012. Google has knowledge of the ’946 Patent and acts and will
`
`continue to act with an objectively high likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of that
`
`MTEL’S ORIGINAL COMPLAINT AGAINST GOOGLE
`
`14
`
`14
`
`

`
`valid patent. Such infringement demonstrates a deliberate and conscious decision to infringe, or
`
`at least a reckless disregard of MTel's patent rights, entitling MTel to up to treble damages. The
`
`Google Messaging Services have no substantial non-infringing use other than to operate as
`
`claimed in the ’946 Patent.
`
`THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF
`(INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 5,754,804)
`

`
`enjoys a statutory presumption of validity separate, apart, and in addition to the statutory
`
`presumption of validity enjoyed by every other of its claims. 35 U.S.C. §282.
`
`80.
`
`Google, without authorization or license, has been and is now directly infringing,
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, Claims 5-8 and 10 of the ’804 Patent in violation of
`
`35 U.S.C. §271, as stated below.
`
`81.
`
`Google and all end-users of Google’s messaging devices, equipment, products, or
`
`services are direct infringers of the ’804 Patent, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, and
`
`will continue to directly infringe Claims 5-8 and 10 of the ’804 Patent by making, using, selling,
`
`offering to sell, or importing into the United States applications and by offering messaging
`
`services, “Google Messaging Services.” Google Messaging Services include, by way of
`
`example only, include Google Messenger, Google Cloud Messaging (“GCM”), Google Talk,
`
`Google Hangouts, Google Talk Chat and XMPP, GTalkShare, GTalkSMS, GTalkSMS Donate
`
`that embody or practice the communication method of Claims 5-8 and 10 of the ’804 Patent.

`
`Google and its end users have directly infringed, literally or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents, and will continue to directly infringe Claims 5-8 and 10 to the communication
`
`method of the ’804 Patent by providing for use with Google Messaging Services servers or other
`
`networking components (e.g., XMPP (or similar protocol)-compliant servers or other networking
`
`components).
`
`83.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services includes
`
`controlling a mobile transceiver which may communicate with a communication network
`
`controlled by a computer.
`
`84.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services includes a
`
`network including more than one base transmitter for transmitting messages to a mobile
`
`transceiver and base receiver for receiving messages from the mobile transceiver.
`
`85.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services includes a
`
`mobile transceiver that is capable of sending registration signals to be received by a base receiver
`
`in a network to allow the network to identify the mobile transceiver’s approximate location
`
`according to the location of the one or more base receivers that received the registration signals
`
`and being capable of sending a message acknowledgment signal when a mobile transceiver
`
`receives a message from the network to indicate successful delivery of the message.
`
`86.
`
`On information and belief, the operation of Google Messaging Services includes a
`
`network using received registration signals to determine a set of base transmitters to transmit a
`
`message to a mobile transceiver.
