`
`offering to sell, and using infringing products within this District.
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`8.
`
`On September 13, 2022, U.S. Patent No. 11,443,395 (the “’395 Patent”),
`
`entitled “Mobile Legal Counsel System and Method,” was duly and legally issued by the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) to Redmon, as assignee of named
`
`inventors Clayton K. Redmon and Wei Wei Jeang. A true and correct copy of the ’395
`
`Patent is attached as Exhibit 1.
`
`9.
`
`On November 8, 2022, U.S. Patent No. 11,494,861 (the “’861 Patent”),
`
`entitled “Mobile Legal Counsel System and Method,” was duly and legally issued by the
`
`2
`
`TurnSignl - Exhibit 1038
`Page 2 of 58
`
`
`
`CASE 0:22-cv-02749-JWB-LIB Doc. 8 Filed 11/14/22 Page 3 of 16
`
`USPTO to Redmon, as assignee of named inventors Clayton K. Redmon and Wei Wei
`
`Jeang. A true and correct copy of the ’861 Patent is attached as Exhibit 2.
`
`10. On November 8, 2022, U.S. Patent No. 11,494,862 (the “’862 Patent”),
`
`entitled “Mobile Legal Counsel System and Method,” was duly and legally issued by the
`
`USPTO to Redmon, as assignee of named inventors Clayton K. Redmon and Wei Wei
`
`Jeang. A true and correct copy of the ’862 Patent is attached as Exhibit 3.
`
`11. Redmon is the sole owner of all right, title, and interest in and to the ’395
`
`Patent, the ’861 Patent, and the ’862 Patent (collectively, the “Redmon Patents”) with full
`
`right to bring suit to enforce the Redmon Patents, including the right to recover for past
`
`infringement damages.
`
`12.
`
`The named inventors, Clayton K. Redmon and Wei Wei Jeang, recognized a
`
`need to defuse and de-escalate tense situations between the police and members of the
`
`general public so that the loss of innocent lives can be avoided or reduced.
`
`13.
`
`The Redmon Patents describe and claim a mobile lawyer system or method
`
`for summoning an attorney during a traffic stop, quickly and virtually, whenever a need
`
`arises to help defuse the situation, run interference, and provide legal advice.
`
`14. Redmon is also the assignee and sole owner with exclusive right, title, and
`
`interest in U.S. Patent Application No. 16/892,277 (the “’277 Patent Application”), entitled
`
`“Mobile Legal Counsel System and Method.” The ’277 Patent Application has been
`
`allowed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the issue fee has been paid.
`
`A true and correct copy of the ’277 Patent Application Notice of Allowance is attached as
`
`Exhibit 4.

`
`
`
`CASE 0:22-cv-02749-JWB-LIB Doc. 8 Filed 11/14/22 Page 4 of 16
`
`15. Defendants operate a website at turnsignl.com that describes on various
`
`webpages a “TurnSignl App” providing “on-demand guidance from an attorney to get you
`
`home safe” that “should be used during a traffic stop.”
`
`16. According to the webpage turnsignl.com, “TurnSignl connects you via live
`
`video chat to expert legal support at the press of a button, and a recording of the encounter
`
`is immediately saved to your personal cloud.” That webpage states that TurnSignl works
`
`by allowing a user to (1) Connect in Real-Time, (2) Start Recording, (3) Video Chat with
`
`Attorney, and (4) Get Home Safe.
`
`17. According to the webpage turnsignl.com/about, the TurnSignl App “is an on-
`
`demand, real-time service that provides 24/7 legal guidance from an attorney to drivers
`
`while their camera records the interaction. When drivers are stopped by law enforcement
`
`officers or involved in a car accident, they can access live video chat with an attorney at
`
`the press of a button or voice command. TurnSignl attorneys are vetted and trained to de-
`
`escalate interactions between police, drivers, and passengers.”
`
`18. According to the webpage turnsignl.com/faq, the TurnSignl App is available
`
`monthly for $6.99/month or annually for $60/year but, through a partnership with
`
`TurnSignl Foundation, is free for those who cannot afford it.

`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A Mobile Lawyer system includes a 360 degree HD video
`camera configured for mounting inside the passenger com(cid:173)
`partment of a vehicle; a display screen configured for
`mounting inside the passenger compartment of a vehicle;
`and a Mobile Lawyer App downloaded and installed on a
`mobile telephone in communication with the video camera
`and display screen, configured, upon command from a user,
`to notify an attorney located remotely via a cellular and/or
`computer network, and to display a video image of the
`remote attorney on the display screen ( or the screen of the
`mobile telephone), and to live-stream a 360 degree video
`captured by the video camera to the Internet for viewing by
`the remote attorney and for cloud storage. The introduction
`of a lawyer on-demand into a police encounter can help to
`defuse and de-escalate the situation. The lawyer can serve as
`a live observer, witness, and intermediary who can provide
`live legal guidance to the user.
