`
`COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
`
`MyHeritage (USA), Inc. (“MyHeritage (USA)”) and MyHeritage Ltd. (collectively,
`
`“MyHeritage”), by and through its undersigned counsel, hereby alleges for its complaint against
`
`MemoryWeb, LLC (“MemoryWeb”) on personal knowledge as to its own activities and on
`
`information and belief as to the activities of others as follows:
`
`NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`1.
`
`This is an action for a declaratory judgment of non-infringement arising
`
`under the patent laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., and the Declaratory Judgment
`
`Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202. MyHeritage seeks relief because Defendant MemoryWeb has
`
`made clear through its statements and actions that it intends to pursue litigation on at least one
`
`claim of United States Patent Nos. 10,423,658 (the “’658 patent”), attached hereto as Exhibit A,
`
`and/or 10,621,228 (the “’228 patent”), attached hereto as Exhibit B, (collectively, “the Patents-in-
`
`Suit”) against MyHeritage’s products and services.
`
`2.
`
`MyHeritage has not infringed, and is not infringing, any claims of the
`
`Patents-in-Suit. MyHeritage thus seeks a declaratory judgment that, through its actions or through
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1046, p. 1
`
`

`

`Case: 1:21-cv-02666 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/17/21 Page 2 of 10 PageID #:2
`
`the normal, advertised and expected use of its products, services or technology, it has not infringed,
`
`induced others to infringe, or contributed to the infringement by others of any claim of the Patents-
`
`in-Suit.
`
`3.
`
`This relief is appropriate because MemoryWeb has alleged that MyHeritage
`
`has infringed, and allegedly continues to infringe, one or more claims from the ’658 and ’228
`
`patents. MemoryWeb has threatened MyHeritage with litigation and potential injunctions under
`
`these patents, while contemporaneously launching litigation against at least one other party on the
`
`same patents.
`
`4.
`
`These activities by MemoryWeb have placed a cloud over MyHeritage and
`
`its products, and have created a substantial, definite, concrete and immediate justiciable
`
`controversy between MyHeritage and MemoryWeb over whether any MyHeritage product or
`
`service infringes any of the patent claims.
`
`PARTIES
`
`5.
`
`Plaintiff MyHeritage (USA), Inc. is a corporation organized and existing
`
`under the laws of Delaware, with a principal place of business at 2975 Executive Parkway Suite
`
`310, Lehi, Utah 84043.
`
`6.
`
`Plaintiff MyHeritage Ltd. is a limited liability company organized and
`
`existing under the laws of Israel, with a principal place of business at 3 Ariel Sharon Blvd., Or

`
`Hague on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents, in accordance with Fed. R.
`

`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`8.
`
`This action arises under the United States patent laws and includes a request
`
`for declaratory relief under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202.
`
`9.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331, 1338,
`
`2201, and 2202, and 35 U.S.C. § 1, et seq.
`
`10. MemoryWeb is subject to personal jurisdiction in this judicial district
`
`because, inter alia, MemoryWeb has its primary place of business located within this district, and
`
`it has sufficient business or contacts within the district to justify jurisdiction under the United
`
`States Constitution.
`
`11.
`
`Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)-(d) and 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b).
`
`EXISTENCE OF AN ACTUAL CONTROVERSY
`
`12. MyHeritage re-alleges and incorporates by reference each of Paragraphs 1-
`
`11 above.
`
`13.
`
`An actual controversy exists within the jurisdiction of this Court under 28
`
`U.S.C. §§ 2201 and 2202.
`
`14.
`
`Since at least 2007, MyHeritage has developed, marketed, used and offered
`
`for sale its genealogy software, MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. Since at least 2005, MyHeritage
`
`has also owned and operated a website at MyHeritage.com, which provides online genealogy
`
`services and is integrated with its genealogy software. MyHeritage’s software and website include
`
`a suite of features for family history research which, inter alia, allow users to upload, store and
`
`manage digital files, including photographs and videos, in the process of tracing and managing the
`
`users’ genealogy. Among these features are MyHeritage’s Photos, Family Tree and

`
`PedigreeMapTM.
`
`15. MemoryWeb has explicitly and baselessly accused MyHeritage’s products
`
`and their features broadly of infringing the ’228 and ’658 patents, which MemoryWeb purports to
`
`own.
`
`16. MemoryWeb first accused MyHeritage and its products of infringement in
`
`a cease and desist letter sent to MyHeritage on April 20, 2021, which is attached hereto as Exhibit
`
`C. That April 20 letter explicitly accused MyHeritage of “infringing certain claims of at least the
`
`‘658 Patent and the ‘228 Patent ” and specifically identified the “functionality of [MyHeritage’s]
`
`FamilyTree, Photos/My Photos and PedigreeMapTM” as the basis of its assertions. The letter
`
`further threatened to “seek injunctive relief and recover monetary damages” and demanded that
`
`MyHeritage
`
`immediately discontinue use of
`
`its “Family Tree, Photos/MyPhotos and
`
`PedigreeMapTM technology.” Despite that threat, the letter also suggested some unspecified
`
`“business arrangement” and that it may serve the parties to agree to some “confidentiality
`
`agreement.” MemoryWeb also set a deadline of April 30, 2021 for MyHeritage to respond to its
`
`letter, stating that if MyHeritage did not respond by that date MemoryWeb “will assume”
`
`MyHeritage “is not willing to cooperate and will take the necessary steps to enforce MemoryWeb’s
`
`rights.”
`
`17.
`
`On April 26, 2021, well before MemoryWeb’s unilaterally imposed
`
`deadline, MyHeritage responded to MemoryWeb’s cease and desist letter. In its response, which
`
`is attached hereto as Exhibit D, MyHeritage explained that despite its demand that MyHeritage
`
`immediately cease operation, MemoryWeb’s April 20 letter did not provide information sufficient
`
`to enable meaningful evaluation of the merits of MemoryWeb’s assertions. It thus asked
`
`MemoryWeb to provide claim charts that identified the specific claims in the two patents
`
`4
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1046, p. 4
`
`

`

`Case: 1:21-cv-02666 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/17/21 Page 5 of 10 PageID #:5
`
`MemoryWeb was asserting, and to explain how the specific features or characteristics of
`
`MyHeritage products and services meet each limitation in each of any such claims. MyHeritage
`
`also indicated that MemoryWeb’s proposal of some sort of business arrangement and a
`
`confidentiality agreement did not make sense under the circumstances.
`
`18.
`
`On April 26, 2021, MemoryWeb filed an action against another party,
`
`Samsung, in the Western District of Texas alleging infringement of the ’228 and ’658 patents. See
`
`MemoryWeb, LLC v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc., No.
`
`6:21-cv-00411-ADA (W.D. Tex.).
`
`19.
`
`On May 4, 2021, MemoryWeb responded to MyHeritage’s April 26, 2021
`
`letter with another letter, attached hereto as Exhibit E, again asserting infringement of the same
`
`two patents and including a claim chart that purported to show how MyHeritage’s products satisfy
`
`one claim in one of the two asserted patents (i.e., claim 1 of the ’228 patent). MemoryWeb also
`
`referred to “additional issued U.S. patents and pending applications that may be relevant to the
`
`same or similar MyHeritage features” but identified only a single patent application that has not
`
`been issued as a patent. MemoryWeb also attached a copy of its Complaint against Samsung as
`
`evidence that “MemoryWeb is serious about enforcing its valuable intellectual property rights.”
`
`MemoryWeb then set a May 17, 2021 deadline for MyHeritage to respond to its letter.
`
`20.
`
`Because MemoryWeb did not explain why it believed any claims in the ’228
`
`and ’658 patents (other than claim 1 of the ’228 patent) were infringed by MyHeritage products
`
`and services, MyHeritage promptly requested that MemoryWeb do so. MyHeritage did this in a
`
`letter sent on May 10, 2021, attached hereto as Exhibit F. MemoryWeb has not responded to this
`
`May 10, 2021 request for additional information.
`
`21.
`
`Despite MemoryWeb’s refusal to provide any further information,
`
`5
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1046, p. 5
`
`

`

`Case: 1:21-cv-02666 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/17/21 Page 6 of 10 PageID #:6
`
`MyHeritage responded to MemoryWeb’s assertions in a letter sent on May 14, 2021, attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit G. MyHeritage pointed out that based on the limited information that
`
`MemoryWeb had provided, there was no credible basis for MemoryWeb’s assertions of
`
`infringement of any claim of the ’228 and ’658 patents by any MyHeritage product or service.
`
`MyHeritage also indicated that it might reconsider MemoryWeb’s proposal for a non-disclosure
`
`agreement if doing that would facilitate further discussions, and invited MemoryWeb to provide a
`
`copy of its proposed NDA for MyHeritage to review. MemoryWeb has not responded to
`
`MyHeritage’s May 14, 2021 letter.
`
`22.
`
`Contrary to MemoryWeb’s assertions, none of MyHeritage’s products,
`
`services or technology infringe or have infringed, directly or indirectly, any claim of the Patents-
`
`in-Suit. Nonetheless, MemoryWeb’s claims, allegations and statements directed to photo
`
`management technology generally and MyHeritage’s products specifically have placed a cloud of
`
`uncertainty over MyHeritage and its products. This uncertainty has created a substantial, definite,
`
`concrete and immediate justiciable controversy between MyHeritage and MemoryWeb regarding
`
`the Patents-in-Suit. MemoryWeb’s actions manifest a threat and intent to assert the ’658 and ’228
`
`Patents against MyHeritage and/or MyHeritage products in litigation, as it already has asserted the
`
`patents and have threatened suit, including injunctive relief.
`
`23.
`
`Accordingly, MemoryWeb’s statements and actions show that there is a
`
`substantial controversy between MyHeritage and MemoryWeb of sufficient immediacy and reality
`
`conferring jurisdiction upon this Court pursuant to the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. §§
`
`2201 and 2202.
`
`COUNT I
`NONINFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 10,423,658
`
`24. MyHeritage re-alleges and incorporates the allegations of Paragraphs 1-23
`
`6
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1046, p. 6
`
`

`

`Case: 1:21-cv-02666 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/17/21 Page 7 of 10 PageID #:7
`
`as if set forth herein in their entirety.
`
`25.
`
`Neither MyHeritage nor its products, services or technology have infringed,
`
`directly or indirectly, any claim of the ’658 Patent. For example, on the MyHeritage.com website,
`
`before the user interacts with map elements in the PedigreeMap interface, the MyHeritage
`
`PedigreeMap™ does not display “thumbnail images” at locations on an interactive map. In
`
`addition, not all photos and videos in the MyHeritage.com user account that are associated with a
`
`geotag will be retrieved and displayed to the user.
`
`26.
`
`Based on at least the facts identified in paragraph 25, MyHeritage does not
`
`infringe claim 1 of the ’658 patent. Also, because every claim of the ’658 Patent depends from
`
`claim 1, MyHeritage does not infringe any claim of the ’658 Patent.
`
`27.
`
`A substantial, definite, concrete and immediate justiciable controversy
`
`exists between MyHeritage and MemoryWeb with respect to whether MyHeritage infringes any
`
`claim of the ’658 Patent.
`
`28. MyHeritage seeks a declaration that it does not infringe any claim of the
`
`’658 Patent.
`
`COUNT II
`NONINFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 10,621,228
`
`29. MyHeritage re-alleges and incorporates the allegations of Paragraphs 1-28
`
`as if set forth herein in their entirety.
`
`30.
`
`Neither MyHeritage nor its products, services or technology have infringed,
`
`directly or indirectly, any claim of the ’228 Patent. For example, the MyHeritage.com website
`
`does not display a “first set of digital files” or a “second set of digital files” “being produced from
`
`outputs of one or more digital imaging devices,” which is required by all the claims of the ’228
`
`Patent. As another example, before the user interacts with map elements in the PedigreeMap
`
`7

`Petitioner Apple Inc. - Ex. 1046, p. 7
`
`

`

`Case: 1:21-cv-02666 Document #: 1 Filed: 05/17/21 Page 8 of 10 PageID #:8
`
`interface, the MyHeritage PedigreeMap™ does not include “a first location selectable thumbnail
`
`image at a first location on the interactive map” (or second or third “selectable thumbnail images”).
`
`31.
`
`Based on at least the facts identified in paragraph 30, MyHeritage does not
`
`infringe claim 1 of the ’228 patent. Also, because every claim of the ’228 Patent depends from
`
`claim 1, MyHeritage does not infringe any claim of the ’228 Patent.
`
`32.
`
`A substantial, definite, concrete and immediate justiciable controversy
`
`exists between MyHeritage and MemoryWeb with respect to whether MyHeritage infringes any
`
`claim of the ’228 Patent.
`
`33. MyHeritage seeks a declaration that it does not infringe any claim of the
`
`’228 Patent.
`
`
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`WHEREFORE, MyHeritage prays for an Order and entry of Judgment against
`
`MemoryWeb as follows:
`
`A.
`
`Declaring that MyHeritage does not infringe, directly or indirectly, the ’658
`
`patent;
`
`B.
`
`Declaring that MyHeritage does not infringe, directly or indirectly, the ’228
`
`patent;
`
`C.
`
`Declaring the case exceptional under 35 U.S.C. § 285 and awarding
`
`MyHeritage its reasonable attorneys’ fees in this action;
`
`Awarding MyHeritage its costs and expenses in this action; and
`
`Granting such other and further relief as the Court deems proper and just.

`ABSTRACT
`
`A computer-implemented method of associating digital tags
`with digital files comprises storing a plurality of digital files
`having embedded therein content data and metadata includ(cid:173)
`ing tags; receiving, via a user interface device of a client
`device, a first tag label containing alphanumeric text created
`and inputted by a user of the client device; modifying, using
`a controller device, a selected first one of the tags of the
`metadata in a first of the digital files to include the first tag
`label; receiving, via the user interface device or another user
`interface device, an instruction to search for all of the digital
`files having at least the first tag label; responsive to receiving
`the instruction, automatically searching for all of the digital
`files having at least the first tag label; and displaying, on a
`video display device associated with the client device, a first
`indication of the first tag label.
