`In November 2016, DSS acquired a portfolio of patents covering
`technologies used in Light-Emitting Diode (“LED”) lighting products, including the
`patents-in-suit. The patents in this portfolio were originally assigned to Agilent
`Technologies, Inc. and/or the successors of its LED business. Since its recent
`acquisition of these patents, DSS has worked to expand its business efforts regarding
`LED technology. DSS is pursuing both licensing and commercialization of this
`technology acquisition, and is establishing those activities within its Plano location.
`3. On information and belief, Everlight Electronics Co., Ltd., is a
`corporation organized and existing under the laws of Taiwan with its principal place
`of business at No. 6-8, Zhonghua Rd., Shulin Dist., New Taipei City, Taiwan 23860.
`Upon information and belief, Everlight manufactures light-emitting diode (“LED”)
`products in Taiwan and, through its subsidiary, Defendant Everlight Americas, Inc.,
`imports, sells and/or offers to sell LED products the State of California and elsewhere
`in the United States.
`4. On information and belief, Everlight Americas, Inc. is a Delaware
`corporation with its principal place of business at 3220 Commander Dr., Suite 100,
`Carrollton, Texas, 75006. Upon information and belief, Everlight Americas imports,
`sells and/or offers for sale nationwide LED products manufactured by Everlight
`Electronics, including in the State of California and in this judicial district. Defendant
`Everlight Americas can be served through its registered agent, Tao Wang, 4226 Via
`Angelo, Montclair CA 91763.
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`5.
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 of
`the United States Code. Accordingly, this Court has subject matter jurisdiction under
`28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
`6.
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants in this action
`because, among other reasons, Defendants have committed acts within the Central
`District of California giving rise to this action and have established minimum contacts

`with the forum state of California, including by establishing a regular and established
`place of business within this District at 4237 East Airport Dr., Ontario, CA 91761.
`Defendants directly and/or through subsidiaries or intermediaries (including
`distributors, retailers, and others), have committed and continue to commit acts of
`infringement in this District by, among other things, making, using, importing,
`offering for sale, and/or selling products and/or services that infringe the patents-in-
`suit. Thus, Defendants have purposefully availed themselves of the benefits of doing
`business in the State of California and the exercise of jurisdiction over Defendants
`would not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Everlight
`Americas is registered to do business in the State of California, and has appointed Tao
`Wang, 4226 Via Angelo, Montclair CA 91763 as its agent for service of process.
`7. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 (b)-(c) and 1400(b)
`because Defendants have a regular and established place of business in this District
`and have committed acts of patent infringement in this District.

`Accused Instrumentalities infringing the ’771 Patent, Defendants have injured DSS
`and are liable to DSS for infringement of the ’771 Patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §
`271(a) directly and/or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`17.
`In addition, Defendants are actively inducing others, such as their
`customers and end users of Accused Instrumentalities, services based thereupon, and
`related products and/or processes, to directly infringe each and every claim limitation,
`including without limitation claims 1 to 8 of the ’771 Patent, in violation of 35 U.S.C.

`Defendants are knowingly inducing their customers and/or end users to directly
`infringe the ’771 Patent, with the specific intent to encourage such infringement, and
`knowing that the induced acts constitute patent infringement. Defendants’
`inducement includes, for example, providing technical guides, product data sheets,
`demonstrations, software and hardware specifications, installation guides, and other
`forms of support that induce their customers and/or end users to directly infringe the
`’771 Patent. The ’771 Accused Instrumentalities are designed in such a way that
`when they are used for their intended purpose, the user infringes the ’771 Patent.
`Defendants know and intend that customers that purchase the ’771 Accused
`Instrumentalities will use those products for their intended purpose.
`18. Defendants have been aware of the ’771 Patent and of its infringement as
`of a date no later than the date they were served with this Complaint in this action. To
`the extent facts learned in discovery show that Defendants’ infringement of the ’771
`Patent is or has been willful, or to the extent that Defendants’ actions subsequent to

`
`least as of service of this Complaint. Defendants are knowingly inducing their
`customers and/or end users to directly infringe the ‘486 Patent, with the specific intent
`to encourage such infringement, and knowing that the induced acts constitute patent
`infringement. Defendants’ inducement includes, for example, providing technical
`guides, product data sheets, demonstrations, software and hardware specifications,
`installation guides, and other forms of support that induce their customers and/or end
`users to directly infringe the ‘486 Patent. The ’087 Accused Instrumentalities are
`designed in such a way that when they are used for their intended purpose, the user
`infringes the ‘486 Patent. Defendants know and intend that customers that purchase
`the ’087 Accused Instrumentalities will use those products for their intended purpose.
`38. Defendants have been aware of the ‘486 Patent and of its infringement as
`of a date no later than the date they were served with this Complaint in this action. To
`the extent facts learned in discovery show that Defendants’ infringement of the ‘486
`Patent is or has been willful, or to the extent that Defendants’ actions subsequent to
`the filing of this Complaint—such as their behavior as litigants or their failure to take
`remedial actions—render their infringement egregious, DSS reserves the right to
`request such a finding at time of trial.
`39. As a result of Defendants’ infringement of the ‘486 Patent, DSS has
`suffered monetary damages in an amount adequate to compensate for Defendants’
`infringement, but in no event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made of the
`invention by Defendants, together with interest and costs as fixed by the Court.
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`Plaintiff respectfully requests the following relief from this Court:
`A. A judgment that Defendants have infringed one or more claims of the
`’771, ’087, ’787, and/or ‘486 Patents;
`B. A judgment and order requiring Defendants to pay DSS its damages,
`costs, expenses, and prejudgment and post-judgment interest for Defendants' acts of
`infringement in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 284;

`against Defendants; and
