`Plaintiffs put Defendants on notice of its infringement of one or more of the
`
`claims of both the ‘575 Patent at least as early as 2012, yet Sky Zone Franchisors continue to
`

`[the franchisee’s] regional business advisor to dedicated in-house real estate and innovation
`
`teams.”

`
`Sky Zone Franchisors knew, or were willfiilly blind to, the existence of the ‘575
`
`Patent and that the acts it induced constitute infringement by the Sky Zone Franchisees as
`
`described in Count I.
`
`64. With knowledge of, or a willful blindness to, the patents, Sky Zone Franchisors

`
`Plaintiffs have suffered damages as a result of Sky Zone Franchisors induced

`
`infringement is therefore willful, and this is an exceptional case entitling Plaintiffs to an award of
`
`exemplary damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs in bringing this action.
`
`Wherefore, Plaintiffs pray that this Court enter such preliminary and final orders and
`
`judgments as are necessary to provide Plaintiffs with the following requested relief:
`
`A.
`
`A finding that the ‘575 Patent
`
`is valid and enforceable and that Sky Zone
`
`Franchisors have induced infringement of the ‘575 Patent.
`
`B.
`
`A permanent
`
`injunction enjoining Sky Zone Franchisors
`
`from inducing
`
`infringement of the ‘575 Patent;
`
`C.
`
`An award of damages against Sky Zone Franchisors under 35 U.S.C. §284 in an
`
`amount adequate to compensate Plaintiffs for Sky Zone Franchisors’ infringement, but in no
`
`event less than a reasonable royalty for the use made by Sky Zone Franchisors of the inventions
`
`set forth in the ‘575 Patent;
`
`D.
`
`An award against Sky Zone Franchisors for treble damages, attorneys’ fees, and
`
`costs under 35 U.S.C. § 285; and
`
`E.
`
`Such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper.
