`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b) because Defendant has

`
`THE ’002 PATENT
`
`9.
`
`The ’002 Patent is entitled “System and method for implementing an intelligent
`
`and mobile menu-interface agent,” and issued 2003-04-08. The application leading to the ’002
`
`Patent was filed on 1999-07-07. A true and correct copy of the ’002 Patent is attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit 1 and incorporated herein by reference.
`
`COUNT 1
`(INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’002 PATENT)
`
`Plaintiff incorporates the above paragraphs herein by reference.
`
`Direct Infringement. Defendant directly infringed one or more claims of the ’002
`
`10.
`
`11.
`
`Patent in at least this District by making, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing, without
`
`limitation, at least the Defendant products identified in the charts incorporated into this Count
`
`below (among the “Exemplary Defendant Products”) that infringed at least the exemplary claims
`
`of the ’002 Patent also identified in the charts incorporated into this Count below (the
`
`“Exemplary ’002 Patent Claims”) literally or by the doctrine of equivalents. On information and
`
`belief, numerous other devices that infringed the claims of the ’002 Patent have been made, used,
`
`sold, imported, and offered for sale by Defendant and/or its customers.
`
`12.
`
`Defendant also directly infringed, literally or under the doctrine of equivalents,
`
`the Exemplary ’002 Patent Claims, by having its employees internally test and use these
`
`Exemplary Products.
`
`13.
`
`Exhibit 2 includes charts comparing the Exemplary ’002 Patent Claims to the
`
`Exemplary Defendant Products. As set forth in these charts, the Exemplary Defendant Products
`
`practice the technology claimed by the ’002 Patent. Accordingly, the Exemplary Defendant
`
`Products incorporated in these charts satisfy all elements of the Exemplary ’002 Patent Claims.

`
`charts of Exhibit 2.
`
`15.
`
`Plaintiff is entitled to recover damages adequate to compensate for Defendant's
`
`infringement.
