`
`“Complainants”), pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337
`
`(“Section 337”), based on the unlawful offer for sale for importation into the United States, sale
`
`for importation into the United States, importation into the United States, and/or sale within the
`
`United States after importation of certain location-sharing systems, related software, components
`
`thereof, and products containing same (“Accused Products”) by proposed Respondents: Google
`
`LLC, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., OnePlus Technology
`
`(Shenzhen) Co., Ltd., TCL Technology Group Corporation, TCL Communication Technology
`
`Holdings Limited, TCL Electronics Holdings Limited, TCT Mobile (US), Inc., Lenovo Group

`
`America, Inc., Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications, Inc., ASUSTek Computer Inc.,
`
`ASUS Computer International, Caterpillar Inc., BLU Products, Inc., Panasonic Corporation,
`
`Panasonic Corporation of America, Kyocera Corporation, Xiaomi Corporation, Xiaomi H.K. Ltd.,
`
`Xiaomi Communications Co., Ltd., and Xiaomi Inc. (the “Proposed Respondents”).
`
`2.
`
`Proposed Respondents’ Accused Products infringe one or more claims of U.S.
`
`Patent Nos. 8,213,970 (“the ’970 Patent, attached as Ex. 1); 9,467,838 (“the ’838 patent,” attached
`

`
`3.
`
`The Accused Products infringe at least the following claims of the Asserted AGIS

`

`
`As required by Sections 337(a)(1)(A) and (2)-(3), an industry exists or is in the
`
`process of being established in the United States relating to Complainants’ LifeRing products and
`
`the Asserted AGIS Patents, which are practiced by Complainants’ LifeRing products (“LifeRing
`
`DI Products”). Complainants’ LifeRing DI Products sold domestically are designed, developed,
`
`engineered, tested, assembled, and supported in the United States. To design, develop, engineer,
`
`test, assemble, and support Complainants’ LifeRing DI Products, Complainants have made and
`
`continue to make significant investment in plant and equipment, has employed and continues to
`
`employ significant labor or capital, and has made and continues to make substantial investments
`
`in the exploitation in the Asserted AGIS Patents in the United States. Complainants’ current and
`
`future significant domestic investment in plant and equipment and significant domestic
`
`employment of labor or capital demonstrates that Complainants are growing the domestic industry
`
`for its LifeRing DI Products.
`
`5.
`
`Complainants seek an LEO barring from entry the Accused Products imported, sold
`
`for importation, or sold within the United States after importation by the Proposed Respondents in
`
`violation of Section 337.
`
`6.
`
`Complainants also seek, as relief, permanent cease and desist orders (“CDO”)
`
`against the Proposed Respondents prohibiting the sale, offer for sale, advertising, marketing,
`
`packaging, distribution, maintenance of inventory, or solicitation of any sale or imported Accused
