`

`
`30.
`
`Upon information and belief, the following describes, at least in part, how the
`
`Blackboard software distribution and management system works:
`
`
`
`31.
`
`Blackboard has directly infringed, and continues to directly infringe one or more
`
`claims of the ’578 Patent in this judicial district and elsewhere in Texas, including at least claims
`
`1-8, 10-11, 13-39, and 41-46 literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents, by or through
`
`making, using, importing, offering for sale and/or selling the Blackboard software distribution and
`
`management system during the pendency of the ’578 Patent which software and associated
`
`backend server architecture inter alia allows for installing application programs having a plurality
`
`of configurable preferences and authorized users on a network, distributing an application launcher
`
`program to a user, the user obtaining a set of configurable preferences, obtaining an administrator
`
`set of configurable preferences and executing the application program using the user and
`
`administrator sets of configurable preferences responsive to a request from a user.
`
`32.
`
`In addition, should the Blackboard software distribution and management system
`
`be found to not literally infringe the asserted claims of the ’578 Patent, the Blackboard software
`
`distribution and management system would nevertheless infringe the asserted claims of the ’578
`
`Patent. More specifically, the accused Blackboard software distribution and management system
`
`performs substantially the same function (making computer programs available for digital
`
`
`
`10
`
`

`

`Case 1:20-cv-00665-CFC Document 1 Filed 08/11/17 Page 11 of 20 PageID #: 11
`

`
`download/management by an authorized user), in substantially the same way (via a launcher
`
`program in a client/server environment), to yield substantially the same result (executing the
`
`programs in response to a request from one or more users on a network). Blackboard would thus
`
`be liable for direct infringement under the doctrine of equivalents.
`
`33.
`
`Blackboard has indirectly infringed and continues to indirectly infringe at least
`
`claims 1-8, 10-11, 13-39, and 41-46 of the ’578 Patent in this judicial district and elsewhere in the
`
`United States by, among other things, actively inducing the using, offering for sale, selling, or
`
`importing the Blackboard software distribution and management system. Blackboard’s customers
`
`who use the Blackboard software distribution and management system in accordance with
`
`Blackboard’s instructions directly infringe one or more of the forgoing claims of the ’578 Patent
`
`in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271. Blackboard directly and/or indirectly instructs its customers
`
`through training videos, demonstrations, brochures, installation and/or user guides, such as those
`
`located at the following:

`
`Blackboard is thereby liable for infringement of the ’578 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b).
`
`34.
`
`Blackboard has indirectly infringed and continues to indirectly infringe at least
`
`claims 1-8, 10-11, 13-39, and 41-46 of the ’578 Patent in this judicial district and elsewhere in the
`
`United States by, among other things, contributing to the direct infringement by others including,
`
`without limitation customers using the Blackboard software distribution and management system,
`
`by making, offering to sell, selling and/or importing into the United States, a component of a
`
`patented machine, manufacture or combination, or an apparatus for use in practicing a patented
`
`

`
`process, constituting a material part of the invention, knowing the same to be especially made or
`
`especially adapted for use in infringing the ’578 Patent and not a staple article or commodity of
`
`commerce suitable for substantial non-infringing use.
`
`35.
`
`For example, the Blackboard software distribution and management system is a
`
`component of a patented machine, manufacture, or combination, or an apparatus for use in
`
`practicing a patent process. Furthermore, the Blackboard software distribution and management
`
`system is a material part of the claimed inventions and upon information and belief is not a staple
`
`article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial non-infringing use. Blackboard is,
`
`therefore, liable for infringement under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c).
`
`36.
`
`Blackboard will have been on notice of the ’578 Patent since, at the latest, the
`
`service of the original complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas on August 18, 2016. By the
`
`time of trial, Blackboard will have known and intended (since receiving such notice) that its
`
`continued actions would actively induce, and contribute to, the infringement of one or more of
`
`claims 1-8, 10-11, 13-39, and 41-46 of the ’578 Patent.
`
`37.
`
`Blackboard may have infringed the ’578 Patent through other software utilizing the
`
`same or reasonably similar functionality, including other versions of its software distribution and
`
`management system. Uniloc reserves the right to discover and pursue all such additional infringing
`
`software.
`
`38.
`
`Uniloc has been damaged, reparably and irreparably, by Blackboard’s infringement
`
`of the ’578 Patent and such damage will continue unless and until Blackboard is enjoined.

`
`42.
`
`Blackboard has directly infringed, and continues to directly infringe one or more
`
`claims of the ’293 Patent in this judicial district and elsewhere in Texas, including at least claims
`
`1, 12 and 17 literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents, by or through making, using,
`
`importing, offering for sale and/or selling the Blackboard software distribution and management
`
`system during the pendency of the ’293 Patent which software and associated backend server
`
`architecture inter alia allow for providing an application program for distribution to a network
`
`server, specifying source and target directories for the program to be distributed, preparing a file
`
`packet associated with the program including a segment configured to initiate registration and
`
`distributing the file packet to the target on-demand server to make the program available for use
`
`by a client user.
`
`43.
`
`In addition, should the Blackboard software distribution and management system
`
`be found to not literally infringe the asserted claims of the ’293 Patent, the product would
`

`
`Blackboard will have been on notice of the ’466 Patent since, at the latest, the
`
`service of the original complaint filed in the Eastern District of Texas on August 18, 2016. By the
`
`time of trial, Blackboard will have known and intended (since receiving such notice) that its
`
`continued actions would actively induce, and contribute to, the infringement of one or more of
`
`claims 15-20, 22-24, 28-33, 35-37, and 41-42 of the ’466 Patent.
`
`59.
`
`Blackboard may have infringed the ’466 Patent through other software utilizing the
`
`same or reasonably similar functionality, including other versions of its software distribution and
`
`management system. Uniloc reserves the right to discover and pursue all such additional infringing
`
`software.
`
`60.
`
`Uniloc has been damaged, reparably and irreparably, by Blackboard’s infringement
`
`of the ’466 Patent and such damage will continue unless and until Blackboard is enjoined.
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Uniloc requests that the Court enter judgment against Blackboard as follows:
`
`(A)
`
`(B)
`
`that Blackboard has infringed the ’578 Patent, the ’293 Patent and the ’466 Patent;
`
`awarding Uniloc its damages suffered as a result of Blackboard’s infringement of
`
`the ’578 Patent, the ’293 Patent and the ’466 Patent;
