PRIMERA TECHNOLOGY, INC., Defendant. Civil Case No. ____________
JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT Plaintiff Advanced Optical Tracking, LLC, by way of its Complaint for Patent Infringement (Complaint) against Defendant Primera Technology, Inc. (Primera), alleges as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This is an action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the
United States, 35 U.S.C. 1 et seq. THE PARTIES 2. Plaintiff Advanced Optical Tracking, LLC (AOT) is a Delaware limited
liability company with a place of business at 1220 N. Market Street, Suite 806, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. 3. Upon information and belief, Defendant Primera is a corporation organized under
the laws of Minnesota with its principal place of business at 2 Carlson Parkway, No. 375 Plymouth, Minnesota 55447. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 4. 1338(a). 1 This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1331 and
5. 6.
Venue is proper in this Judicial District under 28 U.S.C. 1391(c) and 1400(b). On information and belief, Primera is subject to the jurisdiction of this Court by
reason of its acts of patent infringement which have been committed in this Judicial District, and by virtue of its regularly conducted and systematic business contacts in this State. As such, Primera has purposefully availed itself of the privilege of conducting business within this Judicial District; has established sufficient minimum contacts with this Judicial District such that it should reasonably and fairly anticipate being haled into court in this Judicial District; has purposefully directed activities at residents of this State; and at least a portion of the patent infringement claims alleged herein arise out of or are related to one or more of the foregoing activities THE PATENT-IN-SUIT 7. On January 24, 2006, U.S. Patent No. 6,990,058 (the 058 Patent), entitled
Structure and Method for Storing Data on Optical Disks, was duly and legally issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A true and correct copy of the 058 Patent is attached as Exhibit A to this Complaint. 8. AOT is the assignee and owner of the right, title and interest in and to the 058
Patent, including the right to assert all causes of action arising under said patent and the right to any remedies for infringement of it. COUNT I INFRINGEMENT OF U.S. PATENT NO. 6,990,058 9. The allegations set forth in the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 8 are hereby
realleged and incorporated herein by reference. 10. In violation of 35 U.S.C. 271, Primera has directly infringed and continues to
directly infringe, both literally and under the doctrine of equivalents, the 058 Patent by making, using, selling and offering for sale in the United States, including in this Judicial District, and 2
importing into the United States, products that practice the subject matter claimed in one or more claims of the 058 Patent (the 058 Accused Products), including but not limited to claim 1, without the authority of AOT. The 058 Accused Products include, without limitation, Blu-Ray Recordable (BD-R) and Blu-Ray Rewritable (BD-RE) discs, including but not limited to Primera -branded BD-R discs and BD-RE discs. 11. AOT provided actual notice to Primera of its infringement of the 058 Patent in a
letter sent by certified mail on September 19, 2012. 12. Primera has had actual knowledge of the 058 Patent and its infringement of that
patent since at least the date that Primera received the September 19, 2012 letter. 13. Upon information and belief, Primera has induced and continues to induce others
to infringe at least claim 1 of the 058 Patent under 35 U.S.C. 271(b) by, among other things, and with specific intent or willful blindness, actively aiding and abetting others to infringe, including, but not limited to, Primeras suppliers, distributors, and resellers of 058 Accused Products whose making, using, selling and offering for sale in the United States, and importing into the United States the 058 Accused Products constitutes direct infringement of at least claim 1 of the 058 Patent. In particular, Primeras actions that aid and abet others to infringe include entering into, performing, and requiring performance under manufacturing, supply, and distribution agreements for the 058 Accused Products. On information and belief, Primera has engaged in such actions with specific intent to cause infringement or with willful blindness to the resulting infringement because Primera has had actual knowledge of the 058 Patent and that its acts were inducing others to infringe the 058 Patent since at least the date it received the notice letter from AOT notifying Primera that the 058 Accused Products infringed the 058 Patent. 14. AOT has been harmed by Primeras infringing activities.
15.
AOT provided notice of infringement of the 058 Patent to Primera, but Primera
thereafter continued to infringe the patent. On information and belief, Primeras infringement has been and continues to be willful. JURY DEMAND AOT demands a jury trial on all issues and claims so triable. PRAYER FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, AOT prays for judgment as follows: a. b. An adjudication that Primera has infringed the 058 Patent; An award of damages to be paid by Primera adequate to compensate AOT for
Primeras past infringement of the 058 Patent, and any continuing or future infringement through the date such judgment is entered, including interest, costs, expenses and an accounting of all infringing acts including, but not limited to, those acts not presented at trial; c. An order that Primera pay an ongoing royalty in an amount to be determined for
any continued infringement after the date judgment is entered; d. e. An award of treble damages under 35 U.S.C. 284; A declaration finding this to be an exceptional case, and awarding AOT attorney
fees under 35 U.S.C. 285; and f. For such further relief at law and in equity as the Court may deem just and proper.
