JURISDICTION
7.
This is an action arising under the patent laws of the United States. This
Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
8.
This Court has personal jurisdiction over each Defendant because each
Defendant has established minimum contacts with the forum. Each Defendant manufactures
(directly or indirectly through third party manufacturers) and/or assembles products that are and
have been used, offered for sale, sold, and purchased in Delaware. Each Defendant, directly
and/or through its distribution network, places electronic devices within the stream of commerce,
2
which stream is directed at this District, with the knowledge and/or understanding that such
products will be sold in the State of Delaware. Therefore, the exercise of jurisdiction over each
Defendant would not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice.
9.
Each Defendant does business in this District, including providing
products that are used, offered for sale, sold, and have been purchased in Delaware. Venue is
proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b), (c), (d) and 1400(b).
