`
`Plaintiff Fintiv, Inc. (“Fintiv”’), by and through its attorneys, for its First Amended Original
`

`alleges the following:
`
`I. NATURE OF THE ACTION
`
`1.
`
`PayPal, a $112 billion company, for years has been unlawfully using property
`
`owned by Fintiv — mobile wallet patents invented by Fintiv, a small technology company — and
`
`making enormousprofits from its use of those extremely valuable patents. PayPal has not only
`
`been knowingly and unlawfully using Fintiv’s patents without Fintiv’s permission, but it has flatly
`
`refused to pay Fintiv for its use of those patents. Accordingly, Fintiv brings this patent
`
`infringementaction to put an end to PayPal’s unauthorized and infringing use of Fintiv’s patented
`
`inventions and to recover the damages Fintiv has suffered as a result of PayPal’s egregious
`
`misconduct.
`
`2.

`
`Nos. 8,538,845 (the “’845 Patent”), 9,892,386 (the “386 Patent”), and 11,120,413 (the “’413
`
`Patent”), 9,208,488 (the “’488 Patent’), and the 10,438,196 (the “’196 Patent’’) (collectively the

`
`“Patents-in-Suit”). The ’845 Patent, ’386 Patent, and ’413 Patent are titled “Monetary Transaction
`
`System.” The °488 Patent and ’196 Patent are titled “Using a Mobile Warrant Infrastructure to

`attached hereto as Exhibits.
`
`3.

`
`services which directly infringe the Patents-in-Suit. Further, PayPal indirectly infringes the
`
`Patents-in-Suit by inducing and/or contributing to infringement by others, including PayPalusers.

`4.

`Fintiv seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, and pre- and post—judgment
`

`This is an action for patent infringement, which arises under the Patent Lawsofthe
`

`
`over the subject matter of this action under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
`
`12.|This Court has personal jurisdiction over PayPal because it has committed acts
`
`givingrise to this action within Texas and within this judicial district. PayPal also regularly does
`
`business or solicits business in this District and in Texas, engages in other persistent courses of
`
`conduct and derives substantial revenue from products and/or services providedin this District and
`
`in Texas, and has purposefully established substantial, systematic, and continuous contacts within

`
`agent for service. Given these contacts, the Court’s exercise of jurisdiction over PayPal will not
`
`offendtraditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.

`
`V. PAYPAL’S PRE-SUIT KNOWLEDGEOF FINTIV
`AND THE PATENTS-IN-SUIT
`
`34.
`
`Priorto filing this complaint, Fintiv informed PayPal that it was using the Patents-
`
`in-Suit, offered to license its patents, including the Patents-in-Suit, to PayPal, and shared detailed
`
`information aboutits patents, including the Patents-in-Suit, with PayPal. Accordingly, PayPal had
`
`knowledgeof Fintiv and the Patents-in-Suit prior to the filing of this complaint.
`
`35.
`
`On or about March 15, 2016, the Global Strategic Partner of Business Development
`
`for PayPalat the time (““PayPal’s Agent”) emailed Fintiv requesting contact info or a teleconference
`
`with one of the founders of Fintiv (the “Fintiv’s Founder”). PayPal’s Agent held numerousrolesat
`
`PayPal from August 2011 to November 2020, whenheleft to serve as Head ofNorth America New
`
`Channel Sales at PayPal for Hyperwallet (where he remainstoday).
`
`36.
`
`On or about March 16, 2016, Fintiv’s Founder and PayPal’s Agent had a phonecall
`
`that lasted over an hour to discuss Fintiv’s patented technology,a strategic partnership between the
`
`two companies, and PayPal’s interest in acquiring Fintiv. On this call Fintiv, discussed the ’845
`
`and °488 Patents extensively.
`
`37.
`
`In addition, during the call, PayPal asked about acquiring Fintiv. PayPal’s Agent
`
`asked Fintiv’s Founder if he and the management team would be available for a meeting with
`
`PayPal’s Senior Vice President, Head of Corporate Development (M&A)(“PayPal’s SVP”) at the
`
`time. PayPal’s Agent said that the meeting could be held within ten days at Fintiv headquarters in
`
`Austin. PayPal’s Agent informed Fintiv’s Founder that PayPal’s SVP traveled regularly to PayPal’s
`
`Austin offices. The meeting in Austin did not end up taking place.
`
`38.
`
`On or about June 13, 2019, the Chairman of Advection Growth Capital LLC
`
`(“Advection”), acting on behalf of Fintiv, sent an email to PayPal’s Director of Global Corporate
`
`Development (“PayPal’s Director”) specifically identifying the 845, ’386, and ’488 Patents and
`
`IPR2022-00976

`
`

`

`Case 6:22-cv-00288-ADA Document 20 Filed 06/24/22 Page 9 of 27
`
`explaining how these patents could be of benefit to PayPal under a section titled “PayPal
`
`Engagement Notes.” PayPal’s Director has been employed at PayPal since May 2015, and currently
`
`serves as PayPal’s Senior Director of Global Corporate Development. This email also attached a
`
`15-page PowerPoint presentation created by Fintiv that specifically discussed the ’845, ’386, and
`
`°488 Patents and the technology claimed by them to furtherillustrate the benefits of those patents
`
`to PayPal, and described Fintiv’s lines ofbusiness, including Cloud Payments’ payment processing
`
`and interchange optimization.
`
`39.
`
`On or about August 1, 2019, Fintiv’s President, one of Fintiv’s directors (“Fintiv’s
`
`Director’), and Advection, had a call with PayPal’s Director, to further explore PayPal’s licensing
`
`of the Patents-in-Suit due to their continued infringementofthe patents.
`
`40.
`
`On or about August 8, 2019, Fintiv’s President, Fintiv’s Director, and Advection
`
`met with PayPal at PayPal’s headquarters in San Jose. PayPal’s Director and its Investor of PayPal
`
`Ventures (“PayPal’s Investor’), attended this one-hour meeting, during which Fintiv shared further
`
`details regarding the Patents-in-Suit for the purpose of entering into a license deal with PayPal.
`
`Fintiv further told PayPal’s representatives of about the applications, amendments, and portfolio of
`
`an additional 80 pending patents it had and noted that PayPal would be infringing on said patents
`
`in addition to the issued patents they were already infringing upon. The Parties also talked about
`
`PayPal’s continued interested in acquiring Fintiv.
`
`Al.
`
`After delaying over the course of a year, Defendant decided not to license the
`
`Patents-in-Suit or acquire Fintiv.
`
`42.
`
`However, PayPal has continued to make, provide,sell, offer for sale, use, and/or
`
`distribute products and services which directly infringe the Patents-in-Suit. Further, PayPal has

`
`

`

`Case 6:22-cv-00288-ADA Document 20 Filed 06/24/22 Page 10 of 27
`
`continued to indirectly infringe the Patents-in-Suit by inducing and/or contributing to the
`
`infringement by others, including PayPal users and partners.
`
`COUNTI: DIRECT INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’845 PATENT
`
` Fintiv incorporates paragraphs 1 through 42 herein by reference.
`
`PayPal, without authorizationor license from Fintiv, has been andis presently directly
`
`43.
`
`44.
`
`infringing,
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, at least claim 5 of the ’845 Patent
`
`(“Exemplary °845 Patent Claims’), as infringement is defined by 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), including
`
`through making, using (including for testing purposes), selling, offering for sale, and/or distributing
`
`infringing products. Exemplary infringing products include at least PayPal’s servers and Backend
`
`System that interacts with mobile devices (collectively, “Exemplary PayPal Products”).
`
`45.
`
`Exhibit B attached hereto includes charts comparing the Exemplary ’845 Patent
`
`Claims to the Exemplary PayPal Products. As set forth in these charts, the Exemplary PayPal
`
`Products practice the technology claimed by the 845 Patent. Accordingly, the Exemplary PayPal
`
`Products incorporated in these charts satisfy all elements of the Exemplary ’845 Patent Claims
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`46.
`
`On information and belief, Fintiv asserts that PayPal has directly infringed and
`
`continues to directly infringe the Asserted Claims through PayPal Mobile Payment systems and
`
`back end servers used with PayPal’s mobile applications and Business offerings.
`
`See e.g.
`
`https://www.paypal.com/us/business/accept-payments; https://venmo.com/business/start/,
`
`On
`
`information andbelief, Fintiv asserts that direct infringementis performed, for example, by PayPal
`
`through making, selling, offering to sell and/or use of the PayPal and/or Venmo Systems. On
`
`information and belief, Fintiv asserts that PayPal also makes and uses the system, for example,

`
`through testing the accused products, including with mobile devices that communicate with the
`
`PayPal and/or VenmoSystems, within the United States at PayPal and/or Venmolocations.
`
`47.
`
` PayPal’s acts of infringement have caused damage to Fintiv. Fintiv is entitled to
`
`recover damages in an amountto be determinedat trial. Further, PayPal’s infringement of Fintiv’s
`
`rights under the 845 Patent will continue to damage Fintiv’s business, causing irreparable harm for
`
`whichthere is no adequate remedyat law, unless enjoined by the Court.
`
`48.
`
`PayPalis and has been awareof the ’845 Patentsince at least March 2016, well before
`
`this Complaint. Consequently, PayPal’s infringement of the *845 Patent is willful and deliberate,
`
`entitling Fintiv to enhanced damages pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284.
`
`COUNT II:
`
`INDIRECT INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’845 PATENT
`
` Fintiv incorporates paragraphs 1 through 48 herein byreference.
`
`As described above, PayPal is and has been aware of the ’845 Patent since at least
`
`49.
`
`50.
`
`August 2016. And since that time, despite actual knowledge of the ’845 Patent, PayPal has been
`
`and continuesto indirectly infringe the ’845 Patent.
`
`51.|PayPal has been indirectly infringing, and continuesto indirectly infringe, at least
`
`claim 5 of the ’845 Patent through its partners’, merchants’, customers’, and end-users’ direct
`
`infringementofat least claim 5 of the ’845 Patent, through at least the use of the Exemplary PayPal
`
`Products without authorization of license from Fintiv.
`
`52.
`
`PayPal is contributing to the infringement by others and/or inducing infringement
`
`by others by, among otherthings, providing instructionsto its partners, merchants, customers, and
`
`end-users on how to download and use the PayPal application, including through its website
`
`www.PayPal.com and through instructions on third-party application providers, in a manner that
`
`infringes the Exemplary ’845 Patent Claims.
