`AGIS is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in the Patents-

`in-Suit, and holds the exclusive right to take all actions necessary to enforce its rights to the

`
`FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
`
`13. Malcolm K. “Cap” Beyer, Jr., a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and
`
`a former U.S. Marine, is the CEO of AGIS Software and a named inventor of the AGIS patent
`
`portfolio. Mr. Beyer founded Advanced Ground Information Systems, Inc. (“AGIS, Inc.”) shortly
`
`after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks because he believed that many first responder and
`
`civilian lives could have been saved through the implementation of a better communication
`
`system. He envisioned and developed a new communication system that would use integrated
`
`software and hardware components on mobile devices to give users situational awareness superior
`
`to systems provided by conventional military and first responder radio systems.
`
`14.
`
`AGIS, Inc. developed prototypes that matured into its LifeRing system. LifeRing
`
`provides first responders, law enforcement, and military personnel with what is essentially a
`
`tactical operations center built into hand-held mobile devices. Using GPS-based location
`
`technology and existing or special-purpose cellular communication networks, LifeRing users can
`
`exchange location, heading, speed, and other information with other members of a group, view
`
`each other’s locations on maps and satellite images, and rapidly communicate and coordinate their
`
`efforts.
