No. _ __ __ __ JURY TRIAL DEMANDED COMPLAINT Plaintiffs, Motorola Mobility LLC, Motorola Mobility Ireland, and Motorola Mobility International Limited (collectively, "Plaintiffs"), for their Complaint against Defendant Apple Inc. ("Apple"), allege as follows: INTRODUCTION 1.

PARTIES 2. Motorola Mobility LLC ("Mobility") is Delaware limited liability company with a principal place of business at 600 North U.S. Highway 45, Libertyville, Illinois 60048. 3. Motorola Mobility LLC was formerly known as Motorola Mobility, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware with a principal place of business at 600 North U.S. Highway 45, Libertyville, Illinois 60048. Case 1:12-cv-01053-GMS Document 1 Filed 08/17/12 Page 2 of 13 PageID #: 2 4. Motorola Mobility, Inc. was formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of Motorola, Inc. On July 31, 2010, Motorola, Inc. assigned all its rights, title and interest in each ofthe Asserted Patents to Motorola Mobility, Inc. 5. Motorola Mobility Ireland ("Mobility Ireland") is an unlimited liability company organized and existing under the laws of Ireland with a place of business at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, P.O. Box HM666, Hamilton HMCX, Bermuda. 6. Motorola Mobility International Limited ("Mobility International") is a company organized and existing under the laws of Bermuda limited by shares with a place of business at Clarendon House, 2 Church Street, Hamilton HM11, Bermuda. 7. On information and belief, Apple is a corporation organized under the laws of California that has its principal place of business at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California 95014. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 8. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a) because this lawsuit is a civil action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. 9. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Apple. On information and belief, Apple has significant contacts with this forum because Apple manufactures (directly or indirectly through third-party manufacturers) and/or assembles products that are and have been offered for sale, sold, purchased, and used in this District. On information and belief, Apple directly and/or through its distribution network, places infringing devices within the stream of commerce, with the knowledge and/or understanding that such infringing devices will be sold in this District. Moreover, Apple transacts business in this District by means of retail operations within this District and expects or should reasonably expect its infringing actions to have consequences in this District. On information 2 Case 1:12-cv-01053-GMS Document 1 Filed 08/17/12 Page 3 of 13 PageID #: 3 and belief, Apple also has a registered agent for the purposes of, inter alia, accepting service of process and thus it lacks any objection to this Court's personal jurisdiction. Moreover, Apple has brought suit for patent infringement in this District (see C.A. Nos. 10-166 and 10-167). Thus, exercise of jurisdiction over Apple will not offend traditional notions of fair play and substantial justice. Such an exercise is consistent with the Delaware long-arm statute, 10 Del. Code § 3104. 10. Venue is proper in this District under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)-(c) and 1400(b) because Apple resides in this District and because a substantial part ofthe events or omissions giving rise to this claim occurred in this District. COUNT 1: INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 5,883,580 11. Plaintiffs incorporate by reference paragraphs 1-10. 12. The '580 patent, entitled "Geographic-Temporal Significant Messaging," issued on March 16, 1999. A true and correct copy of the '5 80 patent is attached to this Complaint as Exhibit 1. 13.

On information and belief, Apple indirectly infringes the '580 patent by knowingly and intentionally inducing the infringement of this patent by end users of its accused products. Further, on information and belief, Apple contributes to the infringement of the '580 patent because Apple knows that its mobile devices are made for use in infringement and are not staple articles of commerce suitable for substantial non-infringing use. 15. Apple's infringing activities have caused and will continue to cause Plaintiffs irreparable harm, for which they have no adequate remedy at law, unless Apple's infringing activities are enjoined by this Court in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 283. 16. Plaintiffs have been and continue to be damaged by Apple's infringement of the '580 patent in an amount to be determined at trial. 17. On information and belief, Apple's infringement ofthe '580 patent is willful and deliberate, and justifies an increase in damages of up to three times in accordance with 35 U.S.C. § 284. 18.
