`(Infringement of the ’123 Patent)
`
`17.
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 17 are incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth

`in their entireties.
`
`18.
`
`AGIS Software has not licensed or otherwise authorized Defendants to make, use,
`
`offer for sale, sell, or import any products that embody the inventions of the ’123 Patent.
`
`19.
`
`Defendants have and continue to directly infringe at least claim 23 of the ’123
`
`Patent, either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell,
`
`selling, and/or importing into the United States the Accused Devices without authority and in
`
`violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a).
`
`20.
`
`Defendants have and continue to indirectly infringe at least claim 23 of the ’123
`
`Patent by actively, knowingly, and intentionally inducing others to directly infringe, either
`
`literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell, selling, and/or
`
`importing into the United States the Accused Devices and by instructing users of the Accused
`
`Devices to perform methods claimed in the ’123 Patent. For example, Defendants, with
`
`knowledge that the Accused Devices infringe the ’123 Patent at least as of the date of this
`
`Complaint, actively, knowingly, and intentionally induced, and continue to actively, knowingly,
`
`and intentionally induce direct infringement of the ’123 Patent.
`
`21.

`10123
`
` 
`
`directly infringe at least one claim of the ’123 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271. Defendants

`representatives located within this Judicial District. Defendants are thereby liable for
`
`infringement of the ’123 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b).

`
`also pre-installed on the Accused Devices.
`

`
`For example, the exemplary Accused Devices allow users to establish groups and
`
`to exchange messages via interaction with Google’s servers and Samsung’s servers which
