THE ASSERTED PATENTS
16.
On December 23, 1998, the application for the ‘470 patent was filed with the
United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The ‘470 patent is entitled “Method and
Apparatus for Facilitating Electronic Commerce Through Providing Cross-Benefits During a
Transaction.” On November 9, 2010, the USPTO duly and legally issued the ‘470 patent to Jay
S. Walker, Daniel E. Tedesco, John M. Packes, Jr., and James A. Jorasch, who assigned their
3
rights and interests in the ‘470 patent to Walker Digital. A copy of the ‘470 patent is attached as
Exhibit 1.
17.
On June 12, 2006, the application for the ‘056 patent was filed with the USPTO.
The ‘056 patent is entitled “Method and Apparatus for Facilitating Electronic Commerce
Through Providing Cross-Benefits During a Transaction.” On November 2, 2010, the USPTO
duly and legally issued the ‘056 patent to Jay S. Walker, Daniel E. Tedesco, John M. Packes, Jr.,
and James A. Jorasch, who assigned their rights and interests in the ‘056 patent to Walker
Digital. A copy of the ‘056 patent is attached as Exhibit 2.
18.
Walker Digital is therefore the owner of the ‘470 and ‘056 patents.
FACTUAL BACKGROUND
19.
Walker Digital is a research and development laboratory that has invested many
millions of dollars in its intellectual property. Walker Digital is comprised of a diverse group of
inventors who solve business problems by studying human behavior and designing innovative
solutions utilizing modern information technologies.
Walker Digital’s invention team has
created a portfolio of more than 200 U.S. and international patents in a wide range of industries
that includes retail, vending, credit cards, security, gaming, educational testing, and
entertainment. Jay Walker, the chairman of Walker Digital, is best known as the founder of
Priceline.com, which brought unprecedented technology and a new level of value to the travel
industry.
The business processes that guide Priceline.com’s success were created in the
invention lab of Walker Digital. As an inventor, Mr. Walker is named on more than 450 issued
and pending U.S. and international patents.
20.
Walker Digital has invested large sums of money to develop the inventions of Mr.
Walker and its team of innovators. This investment was used for many things, including the
4
development of laboratory facilities to assist with the development and testing of new inventions
which, in turn, generated additional new inventions. Many of these new inventions have been
the genesis for successful businesses, including Priceline.com and Synapse, Inc. Revolutionary
technologies, including the methods and apparatus for facilitating electronic commerce through
providing cross-benefits during a transaction described and claimed in the Asserted Patents, were
a direct result of that investment.
21.
The Asserted Patents represent breakthroughs in electronic commerce.

for Facilitating Electronic Commerce Through Providing Cross-Benefits During a Transaction,”
with ownership of all substantial rights in the ‘470 patent, including the right exclude others and

5
selling and/or importing apparatuses and/or practicing methods that provide cross-benefits during
a transaction including, without limitation, that provide the ability for users / customers of
Facebook to earn Facebook credits for free by shopping via the “Earn for free by shopping”
button.
27.
Facebook is thereby liable for direct infringement of the ‘470 patent pursuant to
35 U.S.C. § 271.
INDIRECT INFRINGEMENT BY FACEBOOK
28.
On information and belief, Facebook has and continues to indirectly infringe one
or more claims of the ‘470 patent in this judicial district and/or elsewhere in the United states,

customers to use apparatuses that provide cross-benefits during a transaction, including without
limitation, that provide the ability for users / customers of Facebook to earn Facebook credits for
free by shopping via the “Earn for free by shopping” button.

31.
On information and belief, Facebook has had knowledge of the ‘470 patent since
at least the inception of this action and, despite such knowledge, Facebook has specifically
intended that its users and/or customers use the accused apparatuses in such a way that infringes

for substantial noninfringing use and are especially made and/or adapted for use in infringing the
‘470 patent.
33.

under 25 U.S.C. § 284. Walker Digital will continue to suffer damages in the future unless
