`
`MALCOLM K. “CAP” BEYER JR.’S INVENTIONS AND
`LIFE360’S CONTINUING WILLFUL INFRINGEMENT
`
`9.
`
`AGIS is a Florida-based military contractor, software developer, and technology
`
`company. Malcolm K. “Cap” Beyer, Jr., a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a
`
`former Marine, is the company’s CEO and the named inventor of the AGIS patent portfolio. Mr.
`
`Beyer founded AGIS shortly after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because he realized
`
`that many first-responder and civilian lives were lost that day, in part, because of poor
`
`communications systems. He envisioned and developed a new system that would use PDAs and
`
`cell phones to give users situational awareness superior to that provided by conventional military
`
`and first-responder radio systems.
`
`10.
`
`AGIS developed prototypes that matured into its LifeRingTM system. LifeRingTM
`
`provides first responders, law enforcement, and military personnel with what is essentially a
`
`tactical operations center built into hand-held or notebook-sized form factors. Using GPS-based

`
`location technology and existing or special-purpose cellular communications networks,
`
`LifeRingTM users can exchange location, heading, speed, and other information with other
`
`members of their group, see each other’s locations superimposed onto onscreen maps and
`
`satellite images, and rapidly communicate and coordinate their efforts. The system also
`
`interfaces with military command-and-control systems, such as GCCS, JCR, AFATDS, C2PC,
`
`and FBCB2.
`
`11.
`
`On May 13, 2014, AGIS, through its attorneys, sent a letter to Mr. Chris Hulls,
`
`the Chief Executive Officer of Life360 Inc. (“Life360”). In that letter, AGIS identified the
`
`Patents-in-Suit, and described how Life360’s smartphone software application, entitled
`
`“Life360” (hereinafter “the Life360 smartphone software application”), is described by claims
`
`therein. AGIS invited Life360 to discuss a patent licensing arrangement. Life360 responded to
`
`AGIS’s invitation as follows:
`
`Dear Piece of Shit,
`
`We are currently in the process of retaining counsel and
`investigating this matter. As a result, we will not be able to meet
`your Friday deadline. After reviewing
`this matter with our
`counsel, we will provide a prompt response.
`
`I will pray tonight that karma is real, and that you are its worthy
`recipient,
`
`Chris
`
`Upon information and belief, Life360 has continued to infringe AGIS’s patents.
`
`12.
`
`Life360 makes, sells, and distributes products, including the Life360 smartphone
`
`software application, with which it has infringed and continues to infringe AGIS’s patents,
`
`directly and indirectly. On information and belief, Life360 has been distributing and/or selling
`
`location based smartphone software since 2008, and its software is being used by tens of millions

`
`of users. Life360’s software products depend entirely on location-based reporting and
`
`communication technology invented and patented by Mr. Beyer and AGIS.
`
`13.
`
`AGIS has marked all of its products embodying the inventions claimed in its
`
`patents as prescribed by 35 U.S.C. §287. Life360 was given actual notice of the infringements
`
`alleged in this complaint no later than May 13, 2014, or in the alternative, no later than the date
`
`of service of this complaint upon Life360.
`
`COUNT ONE – INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT 7,031,728
`
`AGIS incorporates by reference Paragraphs 1 through 13 in their entirety as if
`
`14.
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`15.
`
`On April 18, 2006, United States Patent No. 7,031,728 (“the ’728 Patent”) was
`
`issued to Mr. Beyer for an invention in a cellular phone/PDA communication system. Mr. Beyer
`
`assigned the ’728 Patent to AGIS, and AGIS has retained the right to sue for past and future
`
`infringement.
`
`16.
`
`Life360 has directly infringed and continues to directly infringe the ’728 Patent
`
`by making, selling, offering for sale, and using communication systems that embody the patented
`
`invention, and has contributed to and induced the use of (and continues to contribute to and
`
`induce the use of) such infringing communication systems by others, and will continue to do so
`
`unless enjoined by this Court.
`
`17.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, directly infringe the ’728 patent. On information
`
`and belief, Life360’s employees have used the Life360 smartphone software application in the
`
`United States. The Life360 smartphone software application, when used on a smartphone or
`
`tablet, meets all of the limitations of at least claims 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’728 Patent. For
`
`example, Life360’s smartphone software application includes a “Family Locator” feature along

`5

`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 29-7 Filed 01/22/18 Page 7 of 23 PageID #: 234
`
`with map software, messaging software, and call software that allows a user to touch a family
`
`member’s symbol on a map and initiate a rapid voice communication or text message.
`
`18.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, induce infringement of the ’728 patent. Life360
`
`has distributed, and continues to distribute, the Life360 smartphone software application to users
`
`via, for instance, the Google Play Store. The Google Play Store indicates that Life360 has been
`
`downloaded between five and ten million times. On information and belief, Life360’s users have
`
`used, and continue to use, the Life360 smartphone software application in the United States. The
`
`Life360 smartphone software application, when used on a smartphone or tablet, meets all of the
`
`limitations of at least claims 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’728 Patent. For example, Life360’s
`
`smartphone software application includes a “Family Locator” feature along with map software,
`
`messaging software, and call software that allows a user to touch a family member’s symbol on a
`
`map and initiate a rapid voice communication or text message. Life360 knew or was willfully
`
`blind to the fact that its distribution of the Life360 smartphone software application, and
`
`instructions relating to the operation thereof, induced and continues to induce infringement by
`
`users of at least claims 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’728 Patent. In AGIS’s May 13, 2014 letter,
`
`Life360 was informed of these infringing activities, including, inter alia, distributing its Life360
`
`smartphone software application and instructions relating to the operation of the same. AGIS’s
`
`letter provided specific examples of the manner in which Life360’s instructions were inducing
`
`users to infringe the ’728 patent. On information and belief, Life360 continues to distribute the
`
`Life360 smartphone software application to users, together with instructions to perform steps
`
`that infringe one or more claims of the ’728 patent. For example, Life360 describes its software
`
`in the Google Play Store as a “Family Locator” that locates family and friends on a private map
`
`and allows users to “chat one-on-one or with everyone within each of [their] Circles.” As a

`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 29-7 Filed 01/22/18 Page 8 of 23 PageID #: 235
`
`further example, Life360 provides instructions on its website for utilizing its Life360 software—
`
`and, in particular, the “Family Locator” feature—on smartphones and tablets. Life360,
`
`therefore, has and continues to induce infringement by its users.
`
`19.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, contribute to infringement of the ’728 patent by its
`
`users. For example, through, for instance, the Google Play Store, Life360 has distributed the
`
`Life360 smartphone software application to users knowing the same to be especially made or
`
`especially adapted for infringement of the ’728 patent. The Google Play Store indicates that
`
`Life360 has been downloaded between five and ten million times. On information and belief,
`
`Life360’s users have used the Life360 smartphone software application in the United States.
`
`The Life360 smartphone software application, when used on a smartphone or tablet, meets all of
`
`the limitations of at least claims 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’728 Patent. For example, Life360’s
`
`smartphone software application includes a “Family Locator” along with map software,
`
`messaging software, and call software that allows a user to touch a family member’s symbol on a
`
`map and initiate a rapid voice communication or text message. Life360 knew that its distribution
`
`of the Life360 smartphone software application contributed to infringement by its users of at
`
`least claims 3, 4, 7, 8, 10, and 11 of the ’728 Patent no later than May 13, 2014, the date on
`
`which AGIS sent a letter to Life360 identifying its infringement of the ’728 patent. Even though
`
`Life360 knew of these facts, Life360 has continued to distribute the Life360 smartphone
`
`software application, which is especially made for users to infringe one or more claims of the
`
`’728 Patent. For example, Life360 describes its software in the Google Play Store as a “Family
`
`Locator” that locates family and friends on a private map and allows users to “chat one-on-one or
`
`with everyone within each of [their] Circles.” As a further example, Life360 provides
`
`instructions on its website for utilizing its Life360 software—and, in particular, the “Family

`
`Locator” feature—on smartphones and tablets. The Life360 smartphone software application is
`
`not a staple article or a commodity of commerce suitable for a substantial non-infringing use.
`
`Life360, therefore, has contributed to, and is currently contributing to, the infringement of others.
`
`20.
`
`Life360 has infringed and continues to infringe despite an objectively high
`
`likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of AGIS’s valid patent rights. On information
`
`and belief, Life360 knew of or should have known of this objectively high risk at least as early as
`
`the launch of each infringing product, but no later than May 13, 2014, the date on which AGIS
`
`sent a letter to Life360 identifying the ’728 patent or—in the alternative—no later than the date
`
`of service of this complaint. Thus, Life360’s infringement of the ’728 patent has been and
`
`continues to be willful.
`
`21.
`
`AGIS has suffered irreparable harm from, and has no adequate remedy at law
`
`against, Life360’s acts of infringement. Unless Life360 is enjoined from its infringement of the
`
`’728 patent, AGIS will suffer further irreparable harm.
`
`22.
`
`As a result of Life360’s acts of infringement, AGIS has suffered and will continue
`
`to suffer damages in an amount to be proven at trial, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, requests
`
`the award of such damages, not less than a reasonable royalty. Because of Life360’s willful
`
`infringement, AGIS requests the award of treble damages and attorneys’ fees, pursuant to, for
`
`example, 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 285.

`

`
`infringement.

`
`Life360 has directly infringed and continues to directly infringe the ’954 Patent
`
`by making, selling, offering for sale, and using communication systems and software that
`
`provide cellular communications networks that embody the patented invention, and has
`
`contributed to and induced the use of (and continues to contribute to and induce the use of) such

`
`locations of other Life360 users within a “circle” and to initiate communication with those users
`

`
`29.
`
`Life360 has infringed and continues to infringe despite an objectively high
`
`likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of AGIS’s valid patent rights. On information
`
`and belief, Life360 knew of or should have known of this objectively high risk at least as early as
`
`the launch of each infringing product, but no later than May 13, 2014, the date on which AGIS
`
`sent a letter to Life360 identifying the ’954 patent or—in the alternative—no later than the date
`
`of service of this complaint. Thus, Life360’s infringement of the ’954 patent has been and
`
`continues to be willful.
`
`30.
`
`AGIS has suffered irreparable harm from, and has no adequate remedy at law
`
`against, Life360’s acts of infringement. Unless Life360 is enjoined from its infringement of the
`
`’954 patent, AGIS will suffer further irreparable harm.
`
`31.
`
`As a result of Life360’s acts of infringement, AGIS has suffered and will continue
`
`to suffer damages in an amount to be proven at trial, and pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 284, requests
`
`the award of such damages, not less than a reasonable royalty. Because of Life360’s willful
`
`infringement, AGIS requests the award of treble damages and attorneys’ fees, pursuant to, for
`
`example, 35 U.S.C. §§ 284 and 285.
`
`COUNT THREE – INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT 8,126,441
`
`AGIS incorporates by reference Paragraphs 1 through 13 in their entirety as if
`
`32.
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`33.
`
`On February 28, 2012, United States Patent No. 8,126,441 (“the ’441 Patent”)
`
`was issued to Mr. Beyer for an invention on a method of establishing a cell phone network of
`
`participants with a common interest. Mr. Beyer assigned the ’441 Patent to AGIS, and AGIS has
`
`retained the right to sue for past and future infringement.

`
`Life360 has directly infringed and continues to directly infringe the ’441 Patent
`
`by making, selling, offering for sale, and using communication systems and software that
`
`provide cellular communications networks that embody the patented invention, and has
`
`contributed to and induced the use of (and continues to contribute to and induce the use of) such
`
`infringing communication systems and software by others, and will continue to do so unless
`
`enjoined by this Court.
`
`35.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, directly infringe the ’441 patent. On information
`
`and belief, Life360’s employees have used the Life360 smartphone software application in the
`
`United States. The Life360 smartphone software application, when used on a smartphone or
`
`tablet, meets all of the limitations of at least claim 1 of the ’441 Patent. For example, the
`
`Life360 smartphone software application includes a “Family Locator” feature that allows users
`
`to view the locations of other Life360 users and to initiate communication with those users by
`
`touching symbols on a map. The “Family Locator” includes an additional feature that prompts
`
`users to poll other Life360 users to prompt them to begin transmitting location information.
`
`36.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, induce infringement of the ’441 patent. Life360
`
`has distributed, and continues to distribute, the Life360 smartphone software application to users
`
`via, for instance, the Google Play Store. The Google Play Store indicates that Life360 has been
`
`downloaded between five and ten million times. On information and belief, Life360’s users have
`
`used the Life360 smartphone software application in the United States. The Life360 smartphone
`
`software application, when used on a smartphone or tablet, meets all of the limitations of at least
`
`claim 1 of the ’441 patent. For example, the Life360 smartphone software application includes a
`
`“Family Locator” feature that allows users to view the locations of other Life360 users and to
`
`initiate communication with those users by touching symbols on a map. The “Family Locator”

`
`
`
`Case 2:17-cv-00514-JRG Document 29-7 Filed 01/22/18 Page 15 of 23 PageID #: 242
`
`includes an additional feature that prompts users to poll other Life360 users to prompt them to
`
`begin transmitting location information. Life360 knew or was willfully blind to the fact that its
`
`distribution of the Life360 smartphone software application, and instructions relating to the
`
`operation thereof, induced and continues to induce infringement by its users of at least claim 1 of
`
`the ’441 Patent. In AGIS’s May 13, 2014 letter, Life360 was informed of these infringing
`
`activities, including, inter alia, distributing its Life360 smartphone software application and
`
`instructions relating to the operation of the same. AGIS’s letter provided specific examples of
`
`the manner in which Life360’s instructions were inducing users to infringe the ’441 patent. On
`
`information and belief, Life360 continues to distribute the Life360 smartphone software
`
`application to users, together with instructions to utilize the “Family Locator” feature and to
`
`perform steps that infringe one or more claims of the ’441 patent. For example, Life360
`
`describes its software in the Google Play Store as a “Family Locator” that locates family and
`
`friends on a private map and allows users to “chat one-on-one or with everyone within each of
`
`[their] Circles.” As a further example, Life360 provides instructions on its website for utilizing
`
`its Life360 software—and, in particular, the “Family Locator” feature—on smartphones and
`
`tablets. Life360, therefore, has and continues to induce infringement by its users.
`
`37.
`
`Life360 has, and continues to, contribute to infringement of the ’441 patent by its
`
`users. For example, though, for instance, the Google Play Store, Life360 has distributed the
`
`Life360 smartphone software application to users knowing the same to be especially made or
`
`especially adapted for infringement of the ’441 patent. The Google Play Store indicates that
`
`Life360 has been downloaded between five and ten million times. On information and belief,
`
`Life360’s users have used the Life360 smartphone software application in the United States.
`
`The Life360 smartphone software application, when used on a smartphone or tablet, meets all of

`
`the limitations of at least claim 1 of the ’441 Patent. For example, the Life360 smartphone
`
`software application includes a “Family Locator” feature that allows users to view the locations
`
`of other Life360 users and to initiate communication with those users by touching symbols on a
`
`map. The “Family Locator” includes an additional feature that prompts users to poll other
`
`Life360 users to prompt them to begin transmitting location information. Life360 knew that its
`
`distribution of the Life360 smartphone software application contributed to infringement by its
`
`users of at least claim 1 of the ’441 Patent no later than May 13, 2014, the date on which AGIS
`
`sent a letter to Life360 identifying its infringement of the ’441 patent. Even though Life360
`
`knew of or should have known these facts, Life360 has continued to distribute the Life360
`
`smartphone software application, which is especially made for users to infringe one or more
`
`claims of the ’441 Patent. For example, Life360 describes its software in the Google Play Store
`
`as a “Family Locator” that locates family and friends on a private map and allows users to “chat
`
`one-on-one or with everyone within each of [their] Circles.” As a further example, Life360
`
`provides instructions on its website for utilizing its Life360 software—and, in particular, the
`
`“Family Locator” feature—on smartphones and tablets. The Life360 smartphone software
`
`application is not a staple article or a commodity of commerce suitable for a substantial non-
`
`infringing use. Life360, therefore, has contributed to, and is currently contributing to, the
`
`infringement of others.
`

`
`Life360 has infringed and continues to infringe despite an objectively high
`
`likelihood that its actions constitute infringement of AGIS’s valid patent rights. On information
