`
`On information and belief, MediaTek knew or should have known that its chips
`
`would be incorporated into products (such as the televisions identified above) that would be
`
`used, sold, offered for sale, and/or imported in the United States, the State of Texas, and this
`
`judicial district. MediaTek Taiwan intended that its products be sold in the United States and
`
`affirmatively directed its products to the United States market.
`
`21.
`
`Accordingly, MediaTek Taiwan and MediaTek USA have placed infringing
`
`products into the stream of commerce by shipping infringing products into Texas, shipping
`
`infringing products knowing that those products would be shipped into Texas, and/or shipping
`
`infringing products knowing that these infringing products would be incorporated into other
`
`infringing products that would be shipped into Texas.
`
`22.
`
`On information and belief, MediaTek Taiwan (including, without limitation,
`
`through its subsidiary MediaTek USA) and MediaTek USA have a regular and established place
`
`of business within the Western District of Texas, including 5914 West Courtyard Drive, Suite
`
`400, Austin, TX 78730. On information and belief, MediaTek Taiwan (including, without

`
`This case is related to at least the following cases before this Court and involves
`
`
`
`
`
`common patents and products: ParkerVision, Inc. v. Hisense Co., Ltd. et al., 6-20-CV-00870
`
`(W.D. Tex.) and ParkerVision, Inc. v. LG Electronics, Inc., 6:21-CV-00520 (W.D. Tex.).
`
`27.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)-(d) and/or
`
`1400(b) at least because MediaTek Taiwan is a foreign corporation subject to personal
`
`jurisdiction in this judicial district and has committed acts of infringement within this judicial
`
`district giving rise to this action.
`
`28.
`
`Alternatively, the Court has personal jurisdiction over MediaTek Taiwan under
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(k)(2). This cause of action arises under federal law, MediaTek
`
`Taiwan is not subject to general jurisdiction in any one state, and the exercise of jurisdiction is
`
`consistent with the United States Constitution.
`
`PARKERVISION
`
`29.
`
`In 1989, Jeff Parker and David Sorrells started ParkerVision in Jacksonville,
`
`Florida. Through the mid-1990s, ParkerVision focused on developing commercial video
`
`
`
`10
`
`MEDIATEK EX. 1013
`
`

`

`Case 6:22-cv-01163-ADA Document 16 Filed 03/08/23 Page 11 of 23
`
`
`
`cameras, e.g., for television broadcasts. The cameras used radio frequency (RF) technology to
`
`automatically track the camera’s subject.
`
`30. When developing consumer video cameras, however, ParkerVision, encountered
`
`a problem – the power and battery requirements for RF communications made a cost effective,
`
`consumer-sized product impractical. So, Mr. Sorrels and ParkerVision’s engineering team began
`
`researching ways to solve this problem.
`
`31.
`
`At the time, a decade’s-old RF technology called super-heterodyne dominated the
`
`consumer products industry. But this technology was not without its own problems – the circuity
`
`was large and required significant power.
`
`32.
`
`From 1995 through 1998, ParkerVision engineers developed an innovative
`
`method of RF direct conversion by a process of sampling a RF carrier signal and transferring
`
`energy to create a down-converted baseband signal.
`
`33.
`
`After creating prototype chips and conducting tests, ParkerVision soon realized
`
`that its technology led to improved RF receiver performance, lower power consumption, reduced
`
`size and integration benefits. In other words, RF receivers could be built smaller, cheaper and
`
`with greater improved performance.
`
`34.
`
`ParkerVision’s innovations did not stop there. ParkerVision went on to develop
`
`additional RF down-conversion technologies, RF up-conversion technologies and other related
`
`direct-conversion technologies. ParkerVision also developed complementary wireless
`
`communications technologies that involved interactions, processes, and controls between the
`
`baseband processor and the transceiver, which improved and enhanced the operation of
`
`transceivers that incorporate ParkerVision’s down-converter and up-converter technologies. To
`
`
`
`11
`
`MEDIATEK EX. 1013
`
`

`

`Case 6:22-cv-01163-ADA Document 16 Filed 03/08/23 Page 12 of 23
`
`
`
`date, ParkerVision has been granted over 200 patents related to its innovations, including the
`
`patents-in-suit.
`
`35.
`
`ParkerVision’s technology helped make today’s wireless devices, such as
`
`televisions, a reality by enabling RF chips used in these devices to be smaller, cheaper, and more
`
`efficient, and with higher performance.
`
`36.
`
`ParkerVision sold products. To the extent ParkerVision products needed to be
`
`marked with a ParkerVision patent number, ParkerVision marked those products in compliance
`
`with 35 U.S.C. § 287.
`
`PRIOR DISCUSSIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES
`
`37.
`
`In April 2010, ParkerVision met with MediaTek USA (including, without
`
`limitation, Jim Chapman) and made a presentation regarding ParkerVision’s technology.
`
`ParkerVision provided MediaTek USA with a copy of the presentation, which discusses
`
`ParkerVision’s D2D technology. Upon information and belief, ParkerVision discussed its D2D
`
`technology with MediaTek USA. ParkerVision’s D2D technology is related to the patents-in-
`
`suit.

`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip filters and down-converts an
`
`input signal in an integrated manner using a switch (e.g., one or more transistors), capacitor(s),

`
`
`
`and low impedance load (e.g., one or more resistors). On information and belief, a down-
`
`converted signal (e.g., a baseband signal) is formed from energy from a transistor(s) when the
`
`transistor(s) is ON and energy from a capacitor(s) when the transistor(s) is OFF.
`
`59.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip tunes at least one of the filtering
`
`operation and down-converting operation (e.g., the MediaTek Chip selects components/adjusts
`
`component values).
`
`60.
`
`On information and belief, a transistor(s) in each MediaTek Chip under-samples
`
`(e.g., at a sample rate below the Nyquist rate) the input signal according to a control signal (e.g.,
`
`local oscillator (LO) signal). The frequency of the control signal is equal to a frequency of the
`
`input signal plus or minus a frequency of a down-converted image, divided by n, where n
`
`represents a harmonic or sub-harmonic of the input signal.

`
`ParkerVision has been damaged by the direct infringement of MediaTek and is
`
`suffering and will continue to suffer irreparable harm and damages as a result of this
`
`infringement.

`COUNT II – Infringement of United States Patent No. 6,266,518
`
`62.
`
`The allegations set forth above are re-alleged and incorporated by reference as if
`
`they were set forth fully here.
`
`63. MediaTek Taiwan (including, without limitation, through its subsidiary MediaTek
`
`USA) and MediaTek USA directly infringe (literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents)
`
`the ’518 patent by using, selling, offering for sale, and/or importing in/into the United States
`
`products covered by at least claim 27 of the ’518 patent.
`
`64. MediaTek infringes each step of claim 27 because the MediaTek Chips
`
`automatically, and without user modification, perform each of the claimed steps.

`

`Case 6:22-cv-01163-ADA Document 16 Filed 03/08/23 Page 16 of 23
`
`
`
`65.
`
`On information and belief, MediaTek products that infringe at least claim 27 of
`
`the ’518 patent include, but are not limited to, the MediaTek Chips, and any other MediaTek
`
`device that is capable of down-converting a carrier signal to a baseband signal as claimed in the
`
`’518 patent. On information and belief, MediaTek uses the MediaTek Chips at least by testing
`
`the MediaTek Chips in the United States.
`
`66.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip performs a method of down-
`
`converting a carrier signal (e.g., an RF signal at a transmission frequency) to a baseband signal.
`
`The method is performed on the receiver side of each MediaTek Chip.
`
`67.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip receives a carrier signal that
`
`includes at least one of amplitude variations, phase variations, or frequency variations at a
`
`frequency lower than a carrier frequency of the carrier signal (e.g., a modulated carrier signal,
`
`such as a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal). The carrier signal includes a
`
`baseband signal that has been imparted on the carrier signal.
`
`68.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip samples the carrier signal by a
`
`transistor(s) turning ON and OFF. The sampling occurs over aperture periods (e.g., periods of
`
`time when the transistor(s) is ON/receives an LO signal) to transfer energy from the carrier
`
`signal at an aliasing rate, which is determined according to a frequency of the carrier signal
`
`divided by N, wherein N indicates a harmonic or sub-harmonic of the carrier signal.
`
`69.
`
`On information and belief, a capacitor(s) in each MediaTek Chip integrates
`
`energy from a transistor(s) over the aperture periods (e.g., when the transistor(s) is ON).
`
`70.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek Chip generates a baseband signal
`
`including from the integrated energy that comes from a capacitor(s) when the transistor is OFF.

`
`
`
`71.
`
`On information and belief, a capacitor(s) in each MediaTek Chip transfers energy
`
`to a load (e.g., one or more resistors) during an off-time (e.g., when the transistor(s) is OFF).

`
`ParkerVision has been damaged by the direct infringement of MediaTek and is

`suffering and will continue to suffer irreparable harm and damages as a result of this
`
`infringement.

`
`as wireless cable modems. For example, the MediaTek TV Chips provide a wireless connection
`
`to cable services.
`
`77.
`
`On information and belief, each MediaTek TV Chip is/includes a cable modem
`
`(e.g., wireless modem for communicating with a cable television network) for down-converting
`
`an electromagnetic signal (e.g., a high frequency RF signal), having complex modulations (e.g.,
`
`QAM), to a lower frequency signal. The electromagnetic signal is transmitted by a wireless
`
`method to the cable modem.
`
`78.
`
`Each MediaTek TV Chip has (a) an oscillator (e.g., LO) to generate an in-phase
`
`oscillating signal (e.g., in-phase LO signal), (b) a phase shifter (e.g., a flip-flop) to receive the in-
`
`phase oscillating signal and to create a quadrature-phase oscillating signal (e.g., quadrature-phase
`
`LO signal), (c) a first frequency down-conversion module (e.g., a first module that includes at
`
`least one switch/transistor and at least one capacitor) to receive the electromagnetic signal and
`
`the in-phase oscillating signal and (d) a second frequency down-conversion module (e.g., a
`
`second module that includes at least one switch/transistor and at least one capacitor) to receive
`
`the electromagnetic signal and the quadrature-phase oscillating signal.
`
`79.
`
`On information and belief, the first frequency down-conversion module includes a
`
`first frequency translation module (e.g., a module having one or more switches/transistors) and a
`
`first storage module (e.g., a module having one or more capacitors). The first frequency

`
`The second frequency down-conversion module includes a second frequency
`
`translation module (e.g., a module having one or more switches/transistors) and a second storage
`
`module (e.g., a module having one or more capacitors). The second frequency translation module
