`this District, either directly or indirectly. Upon information and belief, Micro Motion has placed
`
`infringing products into the stream of commerce, knowing or reasonably expecting that such
`
`products will be used, sold, or offered to be sold in this State and in this District. Upon infor-
`
`mation and belief, Micro Motion has intentionally established distribution channels to offer for
`
`sale and to sell the infringing products in this State and this District.
`
`VENUE
`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C. §1400(b) because Emerson and
`
`Micro Motion reside in this District. In addition, venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C.

`
`BACKGROUND
`
`8.
`
`Invensys develops and applies advanced technologies that enable the world’s
`
`manufacturing and energy-generating facilities, mainline and mass transit rail networks, and
`
`appliances to operate safely and in an energy-efficient manner. Among the technologies that
`
`Invensys has developed is the digital Coriolis flowmeter. Digital Coriolis flowmeters provide
`
`precise measurements of the mass flow rate of liquids, and have particular utility (and satisfied a
`
`long-felt industrial need) in measuring liquid mass flow in two phase (gas and liquid combined)
`
`or multi-phase settings. They are used in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petro-
`
`chemical, and food and beverage.
`
`9.
`
`Invensys has been and is currently selling products incorporating its digital
`
`Coriolis flowmeter technologies.
`
`Invensys has marked its products with the some or all of the
`
`numbers of the patents-in-suit.
`
`10.
`
`Upon information and belief, Micro Motion is a wholly owned subsidiary of
`
`Emerson. Micro Motion is a direct competitor of Invensys in the digital Coriolis flowmeter
`
`market. Although Micro Motion initially discounted the feasibility of Coriolis flowmeters that
`
`could measure two-phase flow, in 2006, Micro Motion released Coriolis Meters and components
`
`thereof having a Micro Motion enhanced core processor and/or Micro Motion Model 2400S
`
`transmitters including, but not limited to, Micro Motion® Elite® Coriolis Meters, which claimed
`
`to measure two-phase flow. These products incorporate technology covered by several of
`
`Invensys’ patents.
`
`11.
`
`Invensys Operations Management, the operating division that sells digital Coriolis
`
`flowmeters, has an office a service center in this District. Both Micro Motion and Emerson have
`
`facilities in this District. Invensys sells to customers in this District through sales representatives

`
`flowmeter market in this District.
`
`FIRST CLAIM
`
`(Patent Infringement of the ’646 Patent)
`
`12.
`
`13.
`
`The allegations of paragraphs 1-11 are incorporated herein by reference.
`
`Invensys is the sole owner of United States Patent No. 7,124,646, titled “Correct-
`
`ing for Two-Phase Flow in Digital Flowmeter” (“the ’646 Patent”). The ’646 Patent was duly
`
`and legally issued on October 24, 2006, to Manus P. Henry and Maria Jesus De La Fuente and
`
`was assigned to Invensys. A copy of the ’646 patent is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit A.
`
`14.
`
`Defendants Micro Motion and Emerson have been and currently are infringing,
`
`either literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, the ’646 Patent by, among other things: (1)
`
`making, using, selling, importing, and/or offering for sale, within the territorial boundaries of the
`
`United States, products that are covered by one or more claims of the ’646 Patent, including but
`
`not limited to Coriolis Meters (containing a Micro Motion enhanced core processor, Micro
`
`Motion Model 2400S transmitters (e.g., Micro Motion transmitter Models 1700, 2700 and Series
`
`3000) or any substantially similar component) (e.g., Micro Motion® Elite® Coriolis Meters)
`
`and/or components thereof, including, but not limited to, Micro Motion Model 2400S transmit-
`
`ters, transmitters that have a Micro Motion enhanced core processor (e.g., Micro Motion trans-
`
`mitter Models 1700, 2700 and Series 3000) or any substantially similar component; (2) contrib-
`
`uting to the making, using, selling, importing, and/or offering for sale, within the territorial
`
`boundaries of the United States, of products that are covered by one or more claims of the ’646
`
`Patent by selling a material component of the patented invention that does not have substantial
`
`non-infringing uses, including but not limited to Coriolis Meters (containing a Micro Motion

`
`enhanced core processor, Micro Motion Model 2400S transmitters (e.g., Micro Motion trans-
`
`mitter Models 1700, 2700 and Series 3000) or any substantially similar component) (e.g., Micro
`
`Motion® Elite® Coriolis Meters) and/or components thereof, including, but not limited to, Micro
`
`Motion Model 2400S transmitters, transmitters that have a Micro Motion enhanced core proces-
`
`sor (e.g., Micro Motion transmitter Models 1700, 2700 and Series 3000) or any substantially
`
`similar component, with knowledge that it will be used in the infringement of the ’646 Patent;
`
`and/or (3) inducing its customers, distributors and others in the chain of distribution to make,
`
`use, sell, import and/or offer for sale products that are covered by one or more claims of the ’646
`
`Patent, including but not limited to Coriolis Meters (containing a Micro Motion enhanced core
`
`processor, Micro Motion Model 2400S transmitters (e.g., Micro Motion transmitter Models
`
`1700, 2700 and Series 3000) or any substantially similar component) (e.g., Micro Motion® Elite®
`
`Coriolis Meters) and/or components thereof, including, but not limited to, Micro Motion Model
`
`2400S transmitters, transmitters that have a Micro Motion enhanced core processor (e.g., Micro
`
`Motion transmitter Models 1700, 2700 and Series 3000) or any substantially similar component,
`
`with knowledge of and intent that its customers, distributors and others in the chain of distribu-
`
`tion infringe the ’646 Patent.
`
`15.
`
`Defendants Micro Motion’s and Emerson’s infringement, contributory infringe-
`
`ment, and/or inducement to infringe has injured Invensys, and Invensys is entitled to recover
`
`damages adequate to compensate it for such infringement. Because Defendants’ infringement
`
`has caused Invensys to lose sales and has eroded the price of Invensys’s digital Coriolis flow-
`
`meters, Invensys is entitled to recover lost profits. Alternatively or in addition, Invensys is
`
`entitled to recover a reasonable royalty.

`
