`
`COMPLAINT AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiff Apple Inc. (“Apple”) brings this complaint against Corellium, LLC
`
`(“Corellium”) for copyright infringement in violation of 17 U.S.C. § 501.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`2.
`
`This is a straightforward case of infringement of highly valuable copyrighted
`
`works. Corellium’s business is based entirely on commercializing the illegal replication of the
`
`copyrighted operating system and applications that run on Apple’s iPhone, iPad, and other Apple
`
`devices. The product Corellium offers is a “virtual” version of Apple mobile hardware products,
`
`accessible to anyone with a web browser. Specifically, Corellium serves up what it touts as a
`
`perfect digital facsimile of a broad range of Apple’s market-leading devices—recreating with
`
`fastidious attention to detail not just the way the operating system and applications appear
`
`visually to bona fide purchasers, but also the underlying computer code. Corellium does so with
`
`no license or permission from Apple.
`
`3.
`
`Corellium’s conduct plainly infringes Apple’s copyrights. This is not a case in
`
`which it is questionable or unclear whether the defendant reproduced the rights-owner’s works,
`
`or more subtly, whether particular portions of the works that the defendant took are ultimately
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 2 of 23
`
`protected by federal copyright law. Instead, Corellium has simply copied everything: the code,
`
`the graphical user interface, the icons—all of it, in exacting detail.
`
`4.
`
`Corellium explicitly markets its product as one that allows the creation of
`
`“virtual” Apple devices. For a million dollars a year, Corellium will even deliver a “private”
`
`installation of its product to any buyer. There is no basis for Corellium to be selling a product
`
`that allows the creation of avowedly perfect replicas of Apple’s devices to anyone willing to pay.
`
`5.
`
`Although Corellium paints itself as providing a research tool for those trying to
`
`discover security vulnerabilities and other flaws in Apple’s software, Corellium’s true goal is
`
`profiting off its blatant infringement. Far from assisting in fixing vulnerabilities, Corellium
`
`encourages its users to sell any discovered information on the open market to the highest bidder.
`
`6.
`
`Apple strongly supports good-faith security research on its platforms, and has
`
`never pursued legal action against a security researcher. Not only does Apple publicly credit
`
`researchers for reporting vulnerabilities, it has created several programs to facilitate such
`
`research activity so that potential security flaws can be identified and corrected. Apple’s
`
`programs include providing as much as $1 million per report through “bug bounty” programs.
`
`Apple has also announced that it will provide custom versions of the iPhone to legitimate
`
`security researchers to allow them to conduct research on Apple devices and software. These
`
`efforts recognize the critical role that members of the security research community play in
`
`Apple’s efforts to ensure its devices contain the most secure software and systems available.
`
`7.
`
`The purpose of this lawsuit is not to encumber good-faith security research, but to
`
`bring an end to Corellium’s unlawful commercialization of Apple’s valuable copyrighted works.
`
`Accordingly, Apple respectfully seeks an injunction, along with the other remedies described
`
`below, to stop Corellium’s acts of naked copyright infringement.

`
`FACTS COMMON TO ALL CLAIMS FOR RELIEF
`
`
`
`Apple’s Copyrighted Works
`
`13.
`
`Apple is a leading designer and manufacturer of mobile communication devices,
`
`personal computers, and media devices. Apple sells a variety of related software, services,
`
`accessories and third-party digital content and applications. Apple’s products and services
`
`include iPhone®, Mac®, iPad®, Apple Watch®, AirPods®, AppleTV®, HomePod™, a
`
`portfolio of consumer and professional software applications, iOS, iPadOS™, macOS®,
`
`watchOS® and tvOS® operating systems, iCloud®, Apple Pay® and a variety of accessory,
`
`service and support offerings. Apple sells and delivers digital content through the iTunes
`
`Store®, App Store®, Mac App Store, TV App Store, Book Store and Apple Music®. Apple has
`
`3
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 4 of 23
`
`created numerous innovative technologies that have changed the face of the computer and
`
`telecommunications industries.
`
`14.
`
`One such technology is the iOS operating system. iOS comes pre-installed on
`
`Apple mobile devices, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. As the operating system for
`
`these mobile devices, iOS is the technological foundation for software “application” programs
`
`(or “apps”) that serve particular functions for end-users—from shopping to playing music and
`
`beyond. Both Apple and third-party programmers write and develop apps that run on iOS.
`
`15.
`
`Apple has periodically created and released new versions of iOS to enhance the
`
`functionality and security of the operating system and the devices it runs. Apple released the
`
`latest major version of iOS, iOS 12, on September 17, 2018, to coincide with its release of the
`
`latest versions of the iPhone—iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max (both of which Apple released on
`
`September 21, 2018), and iPhone XR (which Apple released on October 26, 2018).
`
`16.
`
`Apple also pre-installs iTunes® on its iOS devices. Apple has continually
`
`updated and released new versions of iTunes.
`
`17.
`
`In addition to an operating system and certain applications, Apple’s mobile
`
`devices include a number of graphic design elements that Apple has created. These include
`
`background wallpaper images, icons, and other features that make iOS and iTunes visually
`
`attractive to consumers. These visual design elements (referred to here as “graphical user
`
`interface elements,” or, more formally, “GUI Elements”) are critical to the appeal of Apple’s
`
`products, and Apple continually updates them to account for design trends and changing tastes.
`
`18.
`
`Apple owns copyrights in (i) each version of iOS, (ii) each version of iTunes, and
`
`(iii) the GUI Elements, including different versions of graphic icons and preinstalled background
`
`wallpaper images. A list of copyright registrations for the works-in-suit is provided in Exhibit A.
`
`4
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 5 of 23
`
`Apple registered all or virtually all of these copyrights with the U.S. Copyright Office either
`
`prior to Corellium’s acts of infringement, or within three months of publication.
`
`19.
`
`Three additional features of Apple’s products are relevant to this action. First, in
`
`the course of creating and upgrading its market-leading mobile devices, Apple has spent
`
`significant resources developing elaborate security measures within iOS in order to protect its
`
`customers’ data, including embedding security features in the hardware, firmware, and software
`
`layers of iOS and the mobile products on which iOS is installed. To this day, Apple continues to
`
`invest significant resources in researching and improving the security measures in its products.
`
`20.
`
`Second, Apple sells a service called the Apple Developer Program for $99 per
`
`year. The Apple Developer Program provides third-party developers with access to a range of
`
`Apple-created software development tools that allow the creation and testing of iOS apps. An
`
`example is TestFlight®, a development tool which allows app developers to publish “beta”
`
`versions of their apps to testers, who can then download and test the app for a limited period of
`
`time.
`
`21.
`
`Third, Apple also distributes a software product called Xcode® that allows app
`
`developers to create and test iOS apps. Among the features of Xcode is one called “Simulator,”
`
`which gives an app developer the ability to test the app on a “virtual” iOS device. In addition,
`
`Xcode makes it possible to test apps on actual physical Apple devices. Although Xcode is
`
`provided without charge, use of the software requires agreement to specific and detailed terms
`
`and conditions of use, including agreement not to use Xcode to “decompile, reverse engineer,
`
`disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify, decrypt, or create derivative works of”
`
`Apple-created software.
`
`22.
`
`Through Apple’s massive investments and unparalleled innovation, iOS has
`
`5
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 6 of 23
`
`become one of the most widely used and distributed mobile operating systems in the world.
`
`Apple’s mobile products continue to lead the field, with billions of units sold.
`
`
`
`Corellium’s Infringing Product
`
`23.
`
`Corellium has developed a product that creates exact digital replicas of Apple’s
`
`iOS, iTunes, and GUI Elements (referred to here as the “Corellium Apple Product”), available
`
`via either Corellium’s web-based platform or a privately installed, Corellium-provided platform.1
`
`24.
`
` The sole function of the Corellium Apple Product is to enable the creation of
`
`“virtual” iOS-operated devices, running unauthorized copies of iOS. Images and video of the
`
`Corellium Apple Product available online unambiguously demonstrate Corellium’s blatant
`
`copying of Apple’s copyrighted works. For example, the following images show, on the left, an
`
`image of an iPhone X taken from Apple’s website, and on the right, a “virtual” iPhone X as
`
`created within the Corellium Apple Product.
`
`
`1 References to the “Corellium Apple Product” refer only to products that create virtual
`versions of iOS-operated devices. This case does not raise claims regarding Corellium-
`created products that are based on other mobile operating systems.

`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 7 of 23
`
`25.
`
`Corellium openly admits that its product depends on copying of Apple’s
`
`content—i.e., Apple’s copyrighted works. For instance, in January 2018, Corellium published a
`
`post on its official Twitter account announcing the Corellium Apple Product, noting that the
`
`product “enables us to run virtual iPhones in the cloud,” and features the ability to “[r]un any
`
`version of iOS.”

`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 8 of 23
`
`26.
`
`In August 2019, Corellium specifically emphasized, at the international
`
`cybersecurity Black Hat USA Conference, that the Corellium Apple Product is an exact copy of
`
`Apple’s copyrighted works, designed specifically to allow researchers and hackers to research
`
`and test their vulnerabilities, by “run[ing] real iOS – with real bugs that have real exploits.” In
`
`other words, the Corellium Apple Product is designed to enable developers to find and exploit
`
`flaws in iOS.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 9 of 23
`
`27.
`
`Corellium acts quickly to copy new versions of Apple’s copyrighted works
`
`immediately after they are released. On September 27, 2018, within days of the announcement
`
`Apple’s newest iPhone models (iPhone XR, iPhone XS, and iPhone XS Max), Corellium posted
`
`on its official Twitter account that the Corellium Apple Product supported those new devices
`
`with the newest version of the iOS operating system.
`
`
`
`28.
`
`Other images available online show the ease with which Corellium’s customers
`
`can create new “virtual” iOS devices using the Corellium Apple Product. The following series
`
`of images show the steps a user would take in the Corellium Apple Product to create a new
`
`virtual iPhone X, with a fully functioning copy of iOS 12:
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 10 of 23
`
`A. The Corellium Apple Product allows a user to pick a specific type of device to
`
`create a virtual version of. The image below provides the option to copy an iPhone 7 Plus,
`
`iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, or iPhone X.
`
`
`
`
`
`B. Next, the user selects a version of iOS to install on the virtual device.
`
`
`
`10
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 11 of 23
`
`C. On information and belief, the Corellium Apple Product then downloads a copy of
`
`the appropriate version of iOS from Apple’s servers and makes it available through Corellium’s
`
`virtual environment.
`
`D. The Corellium Apple Product can then display to users, via Corellium’s web-based
`
`platform or on a privately installed, Corellium-provided platform, a fully functioning, virtual
`
`iPhone that looks identical to an actual iPhone.
`
`
`29.
`
`Once a user has created a “virtual” iPhone, the Corellium Apple Product allows a
`
`user to make multiple copies of that virtual device, and thus multiple copies of the version of iOS
`
`installed thereon. As a result, on information and belief, Corellium’s servers are hosting
`
`numerous copies of iOS.
`
`30.
`
`On information and belief, the “virtual” iOS devices created by Corellium include
`
`fully functioning versions of iOS and iTunes.

`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 12 of 23
`
`31.
`
`Far from being a product whose uses are limited to those with some salutary
`
`purpose, Corellium’s knock-offs, according to a February 2018 Forbes article, allow customers
`
`to try “whatever they want,” without regard to whether such activities are benign or malicious,
`
`on a virtual version of Apple’s devices.2 That article was evidently based on interviews with
`
`Corellium’s founders, Amanda Gorton, Chris Wade, and David Wang, and demonstrations of the
`
`Corellium Apple Product.
`
`32.
`
`According to the Forbes article, Ms. Gorton demonstrated that a “virtual” iPhone
`
`6—that is, a full reproduction of Apple’s iOS, iTunes, and GUI Elements—could be created “in
`
`a matter of minutes” using the Corellium Apple Product. The Forbes article also noted that the
`
`product can make virtual copies of “almost all iOS devices currently on the market.”
`
`33.
`
`The Forbes article, and a separate article in Motherboard from the same month,
`
`both described a company called Azimuth Security as Corellium’s “first customer.” The
`
`Motherboard article reported that Azimuth sells a range of tools that exploit flaws in software.
`
`Azimuth’s customers reportedly include foreign governments, including foreign intelligence
`
`agencies.3 Another Motherboard article from March 2019 described Corellium as “a startup that
`
`sells a product that allows users to create virtual instances of almost any iOS device in the

`world,” and reports that Mr. Wade “has gotten his hands on” Apple-internal development
`
`iPhones.4
`
`34.
`
`In July 2018, Mr. Wade posted on his Twitter account that the Corellium Apple
`
`Product would be available for use at two training courses held at the Black Hat USA
`
`Conference in August 2018: one titled “Offensive Mobile Exploitation & Reversing,” and the
`
`other, “The Mobile Application Hacker’s Handbook: Live Edition.” Mr. Wade’s tweet was
`
`retweeted by Corellium’s official Twitter account.
`
`
`
`35.
`
`In September 2018, Mr. Wade appeared on a podcast called “Risky Business” that
`
`described the Corellium Apple Product as being marketed to the developers of software
`
`“exploits”—that is, developers of code intended to exploit flaws in a third-party digital product.
`
`During the podcast, Mr. Wade observed that, if anyone is able to develop a particular type of
`
`exploit of iOS 12, “they might want to keep it to themselves, because it will be worth a lot of
`
`money to a lot of people.”
`
`36.
`
`On information and belief, the very next month, at the Tencent Security
`
`Conference, Mr. Wade stated that, for $1 million per year, entities will be able to license private

`
`Corellium Apple Product on a customer’s premises, rather than simply giving the customer
`
`access to Corellium’s own cloud-based product. Such private installations of the Corellium
`
`Apple Product copy, modify, and display Apple’s copyrighted works.
`
`37.
`
`On January 22, 2019, Corellium took its public communications about its
`
`flagrantly illegal activities even further, announcing on its official Twitter account that it was
`
`offering “on-site solutions” as an alternative to purchasing “jailbroken iPhones on eBay.”
`
`
`On April 1, 2019, Corellium again highlighted the unlawful ends to which its
`
`38.
`
`product is aimed by publicly acknowledging that it had given access to its platform to the
`
`developers of an iOS exploit called “unc0ver,” so the developers could test the exploit “on any
`
`device running any firmware.” Within weeks, those developers released a new exploit of

`iOS 12.5

`
`
`On information and belief, Corellium makes no effort whatsoever to confine use
`
`39.
`
`of its product to good-faith research and testing of iOS. Nor does Corellium require its users to
`
`disclose any software bugs they find to Apple, so that Apple may correct them. Instead,
`
`Corellium is selling a product for profit, using unauthorized copies of Apple’s proprietary
`
`software, that it avowedly intends to be used for any purpose, without limitation, including for
`
`the sale of software exploits on the open market.6
`
`40.
`
`Corellium’s founders publicly recognize the significant commercial opportunity
`
`embodied by the Corellium Apple Product. For instance, in August 2019, after Apple announced
`
`that it will offer custom devices lacking certain security measures to invited and trusted security
`
`researchers,7 Mr. Wade noted the “serious cloud services revenue” Apple could capture, but then
`
`said “[it] chooses instead to build custom devices for a select few.” This is an open

`
`acknowledgment that a cloud-based product like Corellium’s will compete directly with the
`
`custom devices that Apple plans to distribute to security researchers.
`
`
`Enough is enough. Apple did not and has not licensed or otherwise authorized
`
`41.
`
`Corellium to use Apple’s copyrighted works in the creation of, or as part of, the Corellium Apple
`
`Product.
`
`
`
` Corellium’s Acts of Copyright Infringement
`
`42.
`
`Through its Corellium Apple Product, Corellium has engaged in and is engaging
`
`in the following acts of copyright infringement in violation of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.
`
`§ 501:
`
`A.
`
`Corellium has created and is creating and distributing reproductions of, and is
`
`creating derivative works based upon, Apple’s iOS, iTunes, and GUI Elements, each of which
`
`are separate, independent protected works under the Copyright Act.
`
`B.
`
`C.
`
`Corellium has publicly displayed and is publicly displaying Apple’s GUI Elements.
`
`Corellium has and is continuing to induce, cause, and/or materially contribute to
`
`Corellium users’ own acts of direct copyright infringement of Apple’s copyrights in iOS, iTunes,
`
`and the GUI Elements. Corellium contributorily infringed and continues to contributorily
`
`infringe Apple’s copyrights by providing its users with access to the Corellium Apple Product,
`
`including by selling private installations of the Corellium Apple Product that allow users to
`
`16
`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 17 of 23
`
`create virtual Apple devices on hardware that they control. Corellium also induced and
`
`continues to induce acts of direct copyright infringement by promoting and encouraging the use
`
`of the Corellium Apple Product to infringe Apple’s copyrights.
`
`43.
`
`Corellium has no plausible defense to these acts of copyright infringement. On
`
`information and belief, Corellium is indiscriminately marketing the Corellium Apple Product to
`
`any customer, including foreign governments and commercial enterprises. Corellium is not
`
`selectively limiting its customers to only those with some socially beneficial purpose and/or
`
`those who promise to use Apple’s copyrighted works, through the Corellium Apple Product,
`
`only in lawful ways (though it is highly doubtful whether, under the circumstances, such uses
`
`actually exist). Instead, Corellium is simply unleashing Apple’s copyrighted works for the
`
`world-at-large to use, period.
`
`44.
`
`Corellium’s purpose is plainly commercial. The Apple works whose copyrights
`
`Corellium is infringing are exceptionally creative. Corellium is using them wholesale, in full.
`
`And in so doing, it is harming the market for Apple’s copyrighted works in a variety of respects,
`
`including without limitation by making certain such works freely available in a manner in which
`
`they are otherwise accessible to developers only through the Apple Developer Program or by
`
`entering into agreements with Apple.
`
`FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF
`
`Direct Federal Copyright Infringement (Computer Programs), 17 U.S.C. § 501
`
`45.
`
`Apple realleges and incorporates by reference each of the allegations in preceding
`
`paragraphs 1-44 set forth above.
`
`46.
`
`Apple owns, and at all times has owned, valid and enforceable copyrights in all of
`
`its computer programs, including each individual version of iOS and iTunes, all of which are
`
`creative works of original authorship.
`

`
`
`
`Case 9:19-cv-81160-RS Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 08/15/2019 Page 18 of 23
`
`47.
`
`Apple holds valid certificates of copyright registration from the U.S. Copyright
`
`Office for those computer programs that Corellium has infringed and continues to infringe for
`
`which Apple seeks relief in this action at present; the copyright registrations are identified, dated,
`
`and numbered in Exhibit A.
`
`48.
`
`Corellium does not have authorization, license, or permission from Apple to
`
`reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from, any of Apple’s computer programs,
`
`whether as part of the Corellium Apple Product or any other similar use.
`
`49.
`
`50.
`
`Corellium is not authorized by law to engage in the acts alleged above.
`
`Through the acts alleged above, Corellium has violated, and is continuing to
`
`violate, Apple’s exclusive rights in its computer programs to reproduce, distribute, and make
`
`derivative works from, iOS and iTunes, in violation of 17 U.S.C. §§ 106 and 501.
`
`51.
`
`On information and belief, when developing, adopting, and marketing its services
`
`and the Corellium Apple Product, Corellium was and remains aware that each version of iOS and
`
`of each version of iTunes are protected by copyright, or acted and is acting in reckless disregard
`
`of the possibility that it was infringing and continues to infringe those copyrights. It is clear
`
`from Corellium’s marketing materials that Corellium purposefully copied and continues to copy
`
`Apple’s copyrighted versions of iOS and iTunes into the Corellium Apple Product. Thus,
`
`Corellium’s violations of Apple’s exclusive rights in its computer programs were and continue to
`
`be knowing, intentional, and willful.

`
`works of visual art embodied in the GUI Elements, including the graphic icons, preinstalled
`
`background wallpaper images, and all other aspects of the graphical user interface of iOS and
`
`iTunes, all of which are creative works of original authorship.
`
`54.
`
`Apple holds valid certificates of copyright registration from the U.S. Copyright
`
`Office for those background wallpaper images, icons, and other graphic elements that Corellium
`
`has infringed and continues to infringe for which Apple seeks relief in this action at present. The
`
`copyright registrations are identified, dated, and numbered in Exhibit A.
`
`55.
`
`Corellium does not have authorization, license, or permission from Apple to
`
`reproduce, distribute, or publicly display the GUI Elements.
`
`56.
`
`57.
`
`Corellium is not authorized by law to engage in the acts alleged above.
`
`Through the acts alleged above, Corellium has violated, and is continuing to
`
`violate, Apple’s exclusive rights in its works of visual art to reproduce, distribute, and publicly
`
`display the GUI Elements in violation of 17 U.S.C. §§ 106 and 501.
`
`58.
`
`On information and belief, when developing, adopting, and marketing its services
`
`and the Corellium Apple Product, Corellium was and remains aware that the GUI Elements are
`
`protected by copyright, or acted and is acting in reckless disregard of the possibility that it is
`
`infringing those copyrights. It is clear from Corellium’s marketing materials that Corellium
`
`purposely copied and continues to copy Apple’s works of visual art in the Corellium Apple
`
`Product. Thus, Corellium’s violations of Apple’s exclusive rights in the GUI Elements were and
`
`continue to be knowing, intentional, and willful.
