`Defendant.
`
`COMPLAINT FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT
`AGAINST APPLE INC.
`
`This is an action for patent infringement arising under the Patent Laws of the United States
`
`of America, 35 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., in which Plaintiff Aire Technology Limited (“Plaintiff” or
`
`“Aire”) makes the following allegations against Defendant Apple Inc. (“Defendant” or “Apple”):
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`This complaint arises from Apple’s unlawful infringement of the following United
`
`States patents owned by Plaintiff, which relate to improvements in Near Field Communication
`
`(NFC) and secure digital payment solutions: United States Patent Nos. 8,581,706 (“the ’706
`
`Patent”), 8,205,249 (“the ’249 Patent”), and 8,174,360 (“the ’360 Patent”) (collectively, the
`
`“Asserted Patents”).
`
`PARTIES
`
`2.
`
`Plaintiff Aire Technology Limited is a limited liability company organized and
`
`existing under the law of Ireland, with its principal place of business at The Hyde Building, Suite
`
`23, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland. Aire is the sole owner by assignment of all rights,
`
`Ex.1011

`
`GARMIN /
`
`
`
`title, and interest in the Asserted Patents, including the right to recover damages for past, present,
`
`and future infringement.
`
`3.
`
`On information and belief, Defendant Apple Inc. is a publicly traded corporation
`
`organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at One
`
`Apple Park Way, Cupertino, CA 95014. Apple may be served with process through its registered
`
`agent, CT Corporation System, at 330 North Brand Boulevard, Suite 700, Glendale, CA 91203.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`4.
`
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 of the United
`
`States Code. This Court has original subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and
`
`1338(a).
`
`5.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Apple in this action because Apple has
`
`committed acts within this District giving rise to this action and has established minimum contacts
`
`with this forum such that the exercise of jurisdiction over Apple would not offend traditional
`
`notions of fair play and substantial justice. Apple, directly and through subsidiaries or
`
`intermediaries, has committed and continues to commit acts of infringement in this District by,
`
`among other things, importing, offering to sell, and selling products that infringe the Asserted
`
`Patents.
`
`6.
`
`Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400(b). Apple is
`
`registered to do business in Texas, and upon information and belief, Apple has transacted business
`
`in this District and has committed acts of direct and indirect infringement in this District by, among
`
`other things, making, using, offering to sell, selling, and importing products that infringe the
`
`Asserted Patents. Apple has regular and established places of business in this District, including
`
`at 12545 Riata Vista Cir., Austin, Texas 78727; 12801 Delcour Dr., Austin, Texas 78727; and

`
`APPLE’S INFRINGEMENT
`

`
`The allegations provided below are exemplary and without prejudice to Plaintiff’s
`
`infringement contentions provided pursuant to the Court’s scheduling order and local rules.
`
`Plaintiff’s claim construction contentions regarding the meaning and scope of the claim terms will
`
`be provided under the Court’s scheduling order and local rules. As detailed below, each element
`
`of at least one claim of each of the Asserted Patents is literally present in the accused products. To
`
`the extent that any element is not literally present, each such element is present under the doctrine
`
`of equivalents. Plaintiff’s analysis below should not be taken as an admission that the preamble is
`
`limiting. While publicly available information is cited below, Plaintiff may rely on other forms of
`
`evidence to prove infringement, including evidence that is solely in the possession of Apple and/or
`
`third parties.
`
`11.
`
`The accused products include at least the following products, as well as products
`
`with reasonably similar functionality, including all Plus and Max sub-models. Identification of
`
`the accused products will be provided in Plaintiff’s infringement contentions pursuant to the
`
`Court’s scheduling order and local rules. Apple imports, uses, makes, offers for sale, and sells in

`
`COUNT I
`
`INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,581,706
`
`12.
`
`Plaintiff realleges and incorporates by reference the foregoing paragraphs as if fully
`
`set forth herein.
`
`13.
`
`Apple has been and is now directly infringing the ’706 Patent, literally and/or under
`
`the doctrine of equivalents, in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), including by making, using, selling,
`
`and/or offering for sale in the United States or importing into the United States infringing products,
`
`including at least the Accused Products identified above. The Accused Products satisfy all of the
`
`claim limitations of one or more claims of the ’706 Patent, including but not limited to claim 11.
`
`14.
`
`Claim 11 of the ’706 Patent recites a “contactlessly communicating portable data
`
`carrier.” To the extent the preamble is limiting, the Accused Products each include a portable data
`
`carrier that is capable of contactless communication through the use of Near Field Communication
`
`(NFC) technology. For example, Apple advertises that the Accused Products support NFC:

`See https://www.apple.com/iphone-13/specs/.
`
`15.
`
`Claim 11 of the ’706 Patent recites that the portable data carrier comprises “at least
`
`two applications stored thereon.” The Accused Products are configured to store at least two
`
`applications. For example, the Accused Products are configured to store at least two applications
`
`that utilize NFC:
`
`Carry one thing.
`Everything.
`
`The Wallet app lives right on your iPhone. It's where you
`securely keep your credit and debit cards, transit
`cards, boarding passes, tickets, car keys, and more — all in
`one place. And it all works with iPhone or Apple Watch, so
`you can take less with you but always bring more.
`
`See https://www.apple.com/wallet/.
`
`How It Works
`
`The Wallet app on iPhone, iPod touch, and Apple Watch allows users to easily manage payment cards,
`boarding passes, tickets, gift cards, and other passes. Wallet is time and location enabled, so passes can
`be configured to display on the user's device at the appropriate moment, like when the user reaches the
`airport or walks into a store. Passes can also be updated with push notifications so, if details change, you
`can notify the user and they can simply tap the notification to view the updated pass.
`
`Passes are distributed
`in an app, via email, or
`on the web.
`
`User adds pass to the
`Wallet app on their
`device.
`
`Passes can
`automatically appear
`on a user's device
`based on location and
`time.
`
`User holds their
`device near a NFC
`reader or scans a
`barcode on the pass.
`
`Pass can now be used
`to check in to an
`event, redeem
`rewards or coupons,
`and more.

`
`Claim 11 of the ’706 Patent recites that the portable data carrier comprises “a
`
`communication device configured to control communication between a reading device and the at
`
`least two applications.” The Accused Products contain a communication device configured to
`
`control communication between a reading device and at least two applications. For example, the
`
`Accused Products utilize an NFC antenna, NFC chip, and related hardware and software to control
`
`communication with a reading device and at least two applications, as shown in the exemplary

`
`communication readiness for one of the applications and comprise an identification number

`
`Apple also knowingly and intentionally induces infringement of one or more claims
`
`of the ’706 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(b). As of at least the filing and service of this
`
`complaint, Apple has knowledge of the ’706 Patent and the infringing nature of the Accused
`
`Products. Despite this knowledge of the ’706 Patent, Apple continues to actively encourage and
`
`instruct its customers and end users (for example, through user manuals and online instruction
`
`materials on its website, and other online publications cited above) to use the Accused Products in
`
`ways that directly infringe the ’706 Patent, for example by utilizing the NFC functionality on the
`
`Accused Products and/or mobile payment applications, such as Apple Pay, in an infringing
`
`manner. Apple does so knowing and intending (or with willful blindness to the fact) that its
`
`customers and end users will commit these infringing acts. Apple also continues to make, use,
`
`offer for sale, sell, and/or import the Accused Products, despite its knowledge of the ’706 Patent,
`
`thereby specifically intending for and inducing its customers to infringe the ’706 Patent through
`
`the customers’ normal and customary use of the Accused Products.
`
`20.
`
`Apple has also infringed, and continues to infringe, one or more claims of the ’706
`
`Patent by selling, offering for sale, or importing into the United States, the Accused Products,
`
`knowing that the Accused Products constitute a material part of the inventions claimed in the ’706
`
`Patent, are especially made or adapted to infringe the ’706 Patent, and are not staple articles or
`
`commodities of commerce suitable for non-infringing use. Apple has been, and currently is,
`
`contributorily infringing the ’706 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. §§ 271(c) and/or (f).
`
`21.
`
`By making, using, offering for sale, selling and/or importing into the United States
`
`the Accused Products, Apple has injured Plaintiff and is liable for infringement of the ’706 Patent
`
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271.

`
`Apple has been and is now directly infringing the ’249 Patent, literally and/or under
`
`the doctrine of equivalents, in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a), including by making, using, selling,
`
`and/or offering for sale in the United States or importing into the United States infringing products,
`
`including at least the Accused Products identified above. The Accused Products satisfy all of the
`
`claim limitations of one or more claims of the ’249 Patent, including but not limited to claim 10.
`
`25.
`
`Claim 10 recites a “portable data carrier for performing a security-operation within
`
`a secure electronic transaction.” To the extent the preamble is limiting, the Accused Products
`
`include a portable data carrier for performing a security-operation within a secure electronic
`
`transaction. For example, the Accused Products support mobile payment applications, such as
`
`Apple Pay, which enable a security-operation within a secure electronic transaction:

`
`Claim 10 of the ’249 Patent recites that the portable data carrier is “arranged to
`
`perform different quality user authentication methods.” To the extent the preamble is limiting, the
`
`Accused Products include a portable data carrier that is arranged to perform different quality user
`
`authentication methods. For example, the Accused Products support mobile payment applications,
`
`such as Apple Pay, which utilize different quality user authentication methods:

`
`How to add a card for Apple Pay on your iPhone
`Add a new debit or credit card to the Wallet app, or add a card you previously used on a device associated
`with your Apple ID.
`
`Add a new card on your iPhone
`
`1. In the Wallet app, tap the Add button 0.
`
`2. Tap Debit or Credit Card.
`
`3. Tap Continue.
`
`4. Follow the steps on the screen to add a new card. If prompted, choose your bank or card issuer from
`the list or find them using the search bar.
`
`5. Verify your information with your bank or card issuer. They might ask you to provide additional
`information or to download an app before approving your card for use with Apple Pay.
`
`6. If you have a paired Apple Watch, you have the option to also add the card to your watch.

`

`
`When you use Apple Pay in stores
`When you use Apple Pay in stores that accept contactless payments, Apple Pay uses Near Field
`Communication (NFC) technology between your device and the payment terminal. NFC is an industry-
`standard, contactless technology that's designed to work only across short distances. If your iPhone is on
`and detects an NFC field, it will present you with your default card. To send your payment information, you
`must authenticate using Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode (except in Japan if you designate a Suica
`card for Express Transit). With Face ID or with Apple Watch, you must double-click the side button when
`the device is unlocked to activate your default card for payment.
`
`After you authenticate your transaction, the Secure Element provides your Device Account Number and a
`transaction-specific dynamic security code to the store's point of sale terminal along with additional
`information needed to complete the transaction. Again, neither Apple nor your device sends your actual
`payment card number. Before they approve the payment, your bank, card issuer, or payment network can
`verify your payment information by checking the dynamic security code to make sure that it's unique and
`tied to your device.

`
`Use Express Mode with cards, passes, and
`keys in Apple Wallet
`With Express Mode, you can use cards, passes, and keys in the Wallet app with just a
`tap.
`
`Use transit or payment cards, passes, your student ID, your car key, and more without waking or unlocking
`your device, or authenticating with Face ID, Touch ID, or your passcode. You might even be able to use
`your card, pass, or key when your device needs to be charged.
`
`Multiple cards, passes, and keys with Express Mode can be active in the Wallet app at the same time. For
`example, you can have one student ID and one car key each set to Express Mode.
`
`With some cards, passes, and keys, you can't have multiple of the same type or from the same issuer set
`to Express Mode. For example, you can only have one student ID from the same school set to Express
`Mode.
`
`With some passes, you might be able to set multiple passes of the same type to Express Mode.
`
`For transit, you can set one payment card and one transit card to Express Mode for each transit network.

`
`Claim 10 recites “wherein the difference in quality of said user authentication
`
`methods varies between an inherently relatively lower quality and an inherently relatively higher
`
`quality from a security perspective.” To the extent the preamble is limiting, the Accused Products
`
`include a data carrier arranged to perform different quality user authentication methods, wherein
`
`the difference in quality of said user authentication methods varies between an inherently relatively
`
`lower quality and an inherently relatively higher quality from a security perspective. For example,
`
`the Accused Products support mobile payment applications, such as Apple Pay, which utilize
