Upon information and belief, the ‘218 patent is

targeted advertisements from Millennial Media,

intentional design, marketing, manufacture,
sale and/or support, including technical
support, of such devices abroad to induce direct
infringement in the United States. Upon
information and belief, Elan’s inducement
includes, without limitation, active
encouragement of the use, sale, offer for sale
and/or importation in the United States, of such
devices to enable gestures that infringe the ‘218
patent on such devices, including through the
promotion and provision of software drivers
and marketing literature that induces direct
infringement. Upon information and belief,
Elan has known or should have known that
these actions would cause direct infringement
of the ‘218 patent and did so with specific
intent to encourage direct infringement.

infringement by intentionally encouraging
and/or aiding consumers, advertisers, and app
developers to use terminals, Millennial Media’s
databases comprising consumer data, and
Millennial Media’s software (i.e., programs)
for the display of targeted advertisements.
Millennial Media intentionally designs,
manufactures, markets, promotes, sells,
services, supports, provides software developer
kits and online help, and educates consumers,
advertisers, and app developers on its software,
and systems and methodologies for delivering
and displaying targeted advertisements.
Millennial Media has known or should have
known that these actions would cause direct
infringement of the ‘969 patent and did so with
specific intent to encourage and aid direct
infringement.
183. Streetspace is informed and
believes and based thereon alleges that
consumers, advertisers, and app developers put
Millennial Media’s system for delivering and
displaying targeted advertisements into service,
i.e., control the system as a whole and obtain
benefit from it.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the
foregoing is true and correct. Executed on April 25, 2011, at San Diego, California.
