`
`providing the Apple Pay service. In addition, this action involves questions of law and fact that
`
`are common to all Defendants.
`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`10.
`
`This is a civil action for patent infringement arising under the patent laws of the
`
`United States, 35 U.S.C. §§ 1 et seq.
`
`11.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the matters asserted herein under
`
`28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a).
`
`12.
`
`Apple is subject to this Court's personal jurisdiction. Apple has infringed USR's
`
`patents in Delaware by, among other things, engaging in infringing conduct within and directed
`
`at or from this District. For example, Apple has purposefully and voluntarily placed one or more
`
`of its infringing products, as described below, into the stream of commerce with the expectation
`
`that these infringing products will be used in this District. These infringing products have been
`
`and continue to be used in this District.
`
`13.
`
`Apple employs individuals and operates a retail store at 125 Christiana Mall in
`
`Newark, Delaware in this District. Upon information and belief, this store sells more infringing
`
`iPhones than any other Apple retail location, and sells and/or supports the second-most volume
`
`of infringing products out of any Apple retail location. See "Apple's (AAPL) Delaware Store
`
`Claims Title for Selling Most iPhones," available at http://abcnews.go.com/Business/apples-
`
`delaware-store-claims-title-selling-iphones/story?id=20650009.
`
`14.
`
`Customers use the infringing Apple Pay service with their Apple devices at a
`
`large number of retailers with locations within this District, including Ace Hardware, Chevron,
`
`Dunkin' Donuts, KFC, Macy's, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Subway. See "Apple Pay: Where to
`
`Use," available at https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/where-to-use/.

`
`15.
`
`Apple has also repeatedly availed itself of the jurisdiction of this Court by filing
`
`complaints for patent infringement in this District (see, e.g., Apple Inc. v. HTC Corp. et al,
`
`C.A. No. 11-611-GMS; Apple Inc. v. HTC Corp. et al, C.A. No. 10-544-GMS; Apple Inc. v. HTC
`
`Corp. et al, C.A. No. 10-167-GMS; Apple Inc. v. HTC Corp. et al, C.A. No. 10-166-GMS; Apple
`
`Inc. v. Atico Int'l USA Inc. et al, C.A. No. 8-283-GMS).
`
`16.
`
`Visa is subject to this Court's personal jurisdiction. Visa Inc. and Visa U.S.A.
`
`Inc. are corporations organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Visa has
`
`infringed USR's patents in Delaware by, among other things, engaging in infringing conduct
`
`within and directed at/or from this District. For example, Visa has purposefully and voluntarily
`
`placed one or more of its infringing products, as described below, into the stream of commerce
`
`with the expectation that these infringing products will be used in this District. These infringing
`
`products have been and continue to be used in this District.
`
`17.
`
`Visa employs individuals and is actively hiring individuals for positions located in
`
`Wilmington, Delaware, within this District. See, e.g., "Careers at Visa," available at
`
`https://usa.visa.com/careers.html (last accessed May 19, 2017).
`
`18.
`
`Customers use the infringing Apple Pay service with their Visa payment cards at
`
`a large number of retailers with locations within this District, including Ace Hardware, Chevron,
`
`Dunkin' Donuts, KFC, Macy's, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Subway. See "Apple Pay: Where to
`
`Use," available at https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/where-to-use/.
`
`19.
`
`Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391 and 1400 at
`
`least because, as discussed above, Visa is incorporated in this District and Apple has a regular
`
`and established place of business in this District, each Defendant is subject to personal
`
`jurisdiction in this District, each Defendant regularly conducts business in this District, and each

`
`USR'S HISTORY AND PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
`
`20.
`
`USR was founded by Dr. Kenneth P. Weiss, the current Chairman and CEO of
`
`USR and a recognized expert in the fields of information systems security and identity
`
`authentication, especially computer-based multifactor identity authentication. Before starting
`
`USR, Dr. Weiss founded and served for many years as the CTO and Chairman of the Board of
`
`Security Dynamics Technologies Inc., now RSA Security LLC, a part of Dell Technologies. At
`
`Security Dynamics, Dr. Weiss invented the SecurID tokens and their underlying algorithm:
`
`technology that became a leading form of personal identity authentication for computer security
`
`and electronic commerce. Dr. Weiss' SecurID technology is being used by more than 150
`
`million people, more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies, and corporations, consumers,
`
`governments, and banks in more than 30 countries. His technology has been used by all three
`
`branches of the United States government, including the Defense Department, the Treasury
`
`Department, the Senate, and the White House.
`
`21.
`
`In connection with his work at USR, Dr. Weiss has developed and continues to
`
`develop innovative technological solutions for identity authentication, computer security, and
`
`digital and mobile payment security. USR's patented innovations allow a user to securely
`
`authenticate his or her identity using technology built into a personal electronic device combined
`
`with the user's own secret and/or biometric information. Such authentication is secure, useful,
`
`and convenient across a variety of contexts.
`
`22.
`
`Applied to payment card transactions (for example, those involving credit, debit,
`
`charge, prepaid, gift, or rewards card accounts), USR's technology offers a state-of-the-art
`
`processing solution that is both highly secure and highly convenient. USR's patented technology
`
`
`
`- 5 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00585-VAC-MPT Document 1 Filed 05/21/17 Page 6 of 102 PageID #: 6
`
`can allow a user to employ an electronic device, such as a smartphone, as an "electronic wallet"
`
`capable of interacting with point-of-sale devices (or directly with webpages and other digital
`
`storefronts) to safely and securely authorize payments from one or more payment accounts.
`
`23.
`
`USR's patented technology enables users to conduct highly secure transactions
`
`from their mobile phones, laptop computers, and other electronic devices with a simple click,
`
`touch, and/or other biometric input. Using aspects of USR's technology, the user device does not
`
`store or send any sensitive information, such as personal account information or payment card
`
`details, that, if compromised, could be used for fraudulent purposes. Instead, the user device
`
`locally generates and sends data including a cryptographic value used for authentication. A new
`
`cryptographic value is generated each time a transaction occurs, and the value is verified by the
`
`payment processor before the transaction is approved. Using additional aspects of USR's
`
`technology, the user device will require the user to authenticate himself or herself via entry of
`
`secret information (e.g., a pin) and/or biometric information (e.g., a fingerprint) before the user
`
`device will carry out a payment. As a result, even if the user device is lost or stolen or the one-
`
`time cryptographic value is intercepted, neither the user device nor the value can be used to make
`
`a fraudulent purchase. Hence, the novel technology described and claimed in the Asserted
`
`Patents is safe, private, and convenient.
`
`24.
`
` Today, USR actively develops and markets a line of security applications and
`
`products leveraging its patented technology. For example, USR's licensed "USR ID" application
`
`has been touted "the most secure personal proxy in the world" and utilizes three-factor
`
`authentication to automatically lock and unlock an authorized user's computer as the user walks
`
`to and from her computer. A sample image of the USR ID application running on an iPhone is
`
`shown below:

`

`
`ACTS GIVING RISE TO THIS ACTION
`
`29.
`
`At the iPhone 6 launch event in September of 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook
`
`explained: "[p]ayments is a huge business. Every day between credit and debit we spend
`
`$12 billion. That's over $4 trillion a year and that's just in the United States. And this business is
`
`comprised of over 200 million transactions a day." For decades, in a typical transaction, a
`
`customer would slide his or her card through a point-of-sale ("POS") device at a merchant
`
`checkout location, and the POS device would read information such as card number and
`
`expiration date from a magnetic strip on the back of the card. That information would pass
`
`through a card network, such as Visa or MasterCard networks, and ultimately to the issuing bank
`
`for transaction approval (or disapproval).
`
`30.
`
`The traditional magnetic strip lacks adequate security and is highly susceptible to
`
`fraud. In an attempt to reduce fraud, a consortium of payment-card companies introduced the
`
`"EMV chip" into payment cards, which made them more difficult to copy. But cards with the
`
`EMV chip, too, are insecure. For example, an EMV chip does not prevent a nefarious actor from
`
`carrying out unauthorized transactions using a stolen card, or from intercepting and fraudulently
`
`using card information that is transmitted during an ordinary transaction.
`
`31.
`
`Thus, the need existed for technology that would allow consumers to make
`
`payment-card transactions conveniently and with a high-degree of security. Recognizing very
`
`early on—long before Apple, Visa, and others in the payment industry—that mobile phones and
`
`other personal electronic devices provided an optimal platform to meet this need, Dr. Weiss
`
`developed and patented superior technology using such devices to provide a mobile, efficient,
`
`
`
`- 8 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00585-VAC-MPT Document 1 Filed 05/21/17 Page 9 of 102 PageID #: 9
`
`and highly secure system for making payment-card transactions. Dr. Weiss was the first in this
`
`space, and the secure payment technology that he developed is the core of Apple Pay.
`
`32.
`
`Recognizing the enormous promise of his technology, Dr. Weiss and USR sought
`
`to partner with both and Apple and Visa to develop a commercial implementation. To that end,
`
`Dr. Weiss and USR disclosed their patented technology to Apple and Visa a number of years
`
`before the development and release of Apple Pay.
`
`33.
`
`In 2010, USR sent Apple a series of letters describing USR's patented technology.
`
`On July 14, 2010, USR sent Apple a letter seeking to partner with Apple to jointly develop a
`
`payment-card solution that "is integrated with and centers around a software-modified payment
`
`phone." In another letter sent to Apple on September 7, 2010, USR further elaborated that its
`
`patented technology, which employed smart mobile devices for secure financial transactions,
`
`"eliminates the need for account numbers or any sensitive or private information to be stored in
`
`or transmitted from a smart mobile device." That letter also explained that one of USR's allowed
`
`patent applications "employ[s] a biometric for identity authentication on a smart phone." On
`
`September 21, 2010, USR sent Apple another letter touting the potential benefit of incorporating
`
`USR's technology into the iPhone platform, and describing USR's growing patent portfolio.
`
`34.
`
`Around the same time, USR pursued a partnership with Visa Inc. In mid-2010,
`
`Dr. Weiss and USR engaged in a series of confidential discussions with senior representatives of
`
`Visa, including then-Chairman and CEO, Joseph Saunders, and then-Global Head of Strategy
`
`and Corporate Development, Oliver Jenkyn. During these discussions, USR made detailed
`
`presentations of USR's patented technology under protection of a Non-Disclosure Agreement.
`
`35.
`
`Neither Apple nor Visa ever partnered with USR. Instead, they partnered with
`
`each other and with other payment networks and banks to incorporate USR's patented technology

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00585-VAC-MPT Document 1 Filed 05/21/17 Page 10 of 102 PageID #: 10
`
`into a service called Apple Pay, which works in conjunction with Apple products, like iPhones,
`
`iPads, Apple watches, and various Mac computers. Upon information and belief, Apple and
`
`Visa began working together on Apple Pay at least as early as January 2013, and Visa dedicated
`
`approximately 1,000 people towards the development project with Apple.
`
`36.
`
`On September 9, 2014, Apple publicly launched Apple Pay in its keynote address
`
`introducing the iPhone 6. In this address, Apple touted the same benefits that USR had
`
`introduced to Apple and Visa in 2010. For instance, just as USR disclosed to Apple and Visa
`
`that its patented technology eliminated the need to store or transmit payment-card account
`
`numbers, Apple bragged to its users that with Apple Pay, "the credit card isn't stored on the
`
`device." Since then, Apple Pay's growth has been explosive.
`
`37.
`
`Defendant Visa operates the world's largest payment processing network called
`
`VisaNet. Upon information and belief, VisaNet is capable of handling more than 24,000
`
`transaction messages per second and processes more than 150 million transactions every day.
`
`Upon information and belief, Visa teamed with Apple to develop and incorporate the Apple Pay
`
`service into Apple's iOS devices, enabling users to employ their Visa cards as a part of Apple
`
`Pay transactions processed using the Visa Token Service, a digital and mobile payment service
`
`developed in conjunction with Apple Pay. On information and belief, since Apple Pay launched
`
`in 2014, Visa has supported and processed all Apple Pay transactions made with Visa cards.
`
`38. Many Delaware-based banks issue US-branded payment cards. Upon information
`
`and belief, Apple Pay supports these payment cards and most partner-branded Visa payment
`
`cards. Not only do these third-party banks issue payment cards that support Apple Pay, they also
`
`authorize and facilitate financial transactions made using Apple Pay. Upon information and
`
`
`
`- 10 -
`
`

`

`Case 1:17-cv-00585-VAC-MPT Document 1 Filed 05/21/17 Page 11 of 102 PageID #: 11
`
`belief, these same Delaware-based banks have agreements with Defendants regarding the
`
`processing and support of financial transactions made through Apple Pay.
`
`39.
`
`Upon information and belief, at least the following Apple devices support Apple
`
`Pay and infringe one or more claims of the Asserted Patents literally and/or under the doctrine of
`
`equivalents: Apple iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus,
`
`iPhone SE, iPhone 5, 5s and 5c (paired with Apple Watch), iPad (5th generation), iPad Pro (12.9-
`
`inch), iPad pro (9.7-inch), iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, iPad mini 3, Apple Watch Series 2, Apple
`
`Watch Series 1, Apple Watch (1st generation), MacBook Pro with Touch ID, and all Mac models
`
`introduced in 2012 or later (with an Apple Pay-enabled iPhone or Apple Watch) (collectively,
`
`"Accused Apple Devices"). See "Apple Pay is compatible with these devices," available at
`
`https://support.apple.com/en-us/KM207105. Each of the Accused Apple Devices alone, or in
`
`combination with one or more other Apple devices, and the Visa payment processing network,
`
`the Visa Token Service, and associated Apple and Visa backend servers and systems supporting
`
`Apple Pay transactions (collectively, the "Accused Products"), practices USR's patented
`
`technology described and claimed in the Asserted Patents.
`
`40.
`
`In short, Defendants have made extensive use of USR's patented technologies,
`
`including the technology described and claimed in the Asserted Patents. USR has no choice but
`
`to defend its proprietary and patented technology. USR thus requests that this Court award it
`
`damages sufficient to compensate for Defendants' infringement of the Asserted Patents, find this
`
`case exceptional and award USR its attorneys' fees and costs, and grant an injunction against
`
`Defendants to prevent ongoing infringement of the Asserted Patents.

`
`plurality of accounts (e.g., credit, debit, prepaid, and store card accounts) associated with the user
`
`to employ in a financial transaction (e.g., to pay for a purchase at a store using Apple Pay). For
`
`example, the iPhone 7 is configured to maintain up to eight credit, debit, prepaid, and store card
`
`accounts as a part of Apple Pay on the iPhone 7. See, e.g., "Set up Apple Pay on your iPhone,

`iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac" ("Set up Apple Pay"), available at https://support.apple.com/en-
`
`us/HT204506 ("Get started by adding your credit, debit, or prepaid cards to your iPhone . . . .
`
`You can add up to eight cards on any device."). In connection with setting up and using a default
`
`or Automatic Selection card and/or selecting a card at the time of purchase, the iPhone 7 is
`
`configured to allow a user to select one of multiple accounts to employ as a part of an Apple Pay
`
