`
`III. JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`4.
`
`This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title 35 of the United

`
`a regular and established place of business in Plano, Texas.
`
`6.
`
`Further, this Court has specific personal jurisdiction over Juniper in this action
`
`pursuant to due process and the Texas Long Arm Statute because the claims asserted herein arise
`
`out of or are related to Juniper’s voluntary contacts with this forum, such voluntary contacts
`
`including but not limited to: (i) at least a portion of the actions complained of herein;
`
`(ii) purposefully and voluntarily placing one or more Accused Products into the stream of
`
`commerce with the expectation that they will be purchased by consumers in this forum; or
`
`(iii) regularly doing or soliciting business, engaging in other persistent courses of conduct, or
`
`deriving substantial revenue from Accused Products provided to individuals in Texas and in this
`
`District.
`
`7.
`
`Venue is proper in this Court under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1391(b)(3) and 1400(b) for at
`
`least the reasons set forth above and because Juniper maintains a regular and established place of
`
`business in Plano, Texas, which is in this District.

`
`At least by filing and serving this First Amended Complaint, Implicit has given
`
`Juniper written notice of the ’378 Patent and of Juniper’s infringement thereof.
`
`A.
`
`Infringement of the ’075 Patent
`
`VI. CLAIMS
`
`41.
`
`The allegations of each foregoing paragraph are incorporated by reference as if
`
`fully set forth herein and form the basis for the following cause of action against Juniper.
`
`42.
`
`43.
`
`The Accused Products are covered by at least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent.
`
`Juniper has directly infringed and continues to infringe at least claim 1 of the ’075
`
`Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) by, directly or through intermediaries and without
`
`Implicit’s authority, making, using, selling, or offering to sell the Accused Products in the United
`
`States, or importing the Accused Products into the United States.
`
`44.
`
`Further and in the alternative, at least since the filing and service of the Original
`
`Complaint in this action, Juniper has been and now is actively inducing infringement of at least
`
`claim 1 of the ’075 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(b). Users of the Accused Products
`
`directly infringe at least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent when they use the Accused Products in the
`
`ordinary, customary, and intended way. Juniper’s inducements include, without limitation and
`
`with specific intent to encourage the infringement, knowingly inducing consumers to use the
`
`Accused Products within the United States in the ordinary, customary, and intended way by,
`
`directly or through intermediaries, supplying the Accused Products to consumers within the United
`
`States and instructing such consumers (for example in instructional manuals or videos that Juniper
`
`provides online or with the Accused Products) how to use the Accused Products in the ordinary,
`
`customary, and intended way, which Juniper knows or should know infringes at least claim 1 of
`
`the ’075 Patent. Juniper’s inducements may further include, without limitation and with specific
`
`
`First Amended Complaint for Patent Infringement

`
`intent to encourage the infringement, knowingly inducing manufacturers to make the Accused
`
`Products within the United States, or knowingly inducing distributors or resellers to sell or offer
`
`to sell the Accused Products within the United States, by, directly or through intermediaries,
`
`instructing such manufacturers, distributors, or resellers to make, sell, or offer to sell the Accused
`
`Products in the United States, which Juniper knows or should know infringes at least claim 1 of
`
`the ’075 Patent.
`
`45.
`
`Further and in the alternative, at least since the filing and service of the Original
`
`Complaint in this action, Juniper has been and now is actively contributing to infringement of at
`
`least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271(c). Juniper installs, configures,
`
`and sells the Accused Products with one or more distinct components, including components that
`
`implement reverse-web proxy functionality (collectively, the “Server Accused Components”),
`
`each of which is especially made or especially adapted to practice the invention claimed in at least
`
`claim 1 of the ’075 Patent. Each Server Accused Component within the Accused Products
`
`constitutes a material part of the claimed invention recited in at least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent
`
`and not a staple article or commodity of commerce because it is specifically configured according
`
`to at least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent. Juniper’s contributions include, without limitation, making,
`
`offering to sell, and/or selling within the United States, and/or importing into the United States,
`
`the Accused Products, which include one or more Server Accused Components, knowing each
`
`Server Accused Component to be especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement
`
`of at least claim 1 of the ’075 Patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable
`
`for substantial noninfringing use.
`
`46.
`
`As of the filing and service of the Original Complaint in this action, Juniper’s
`
`infringement of the ’075 Patent has been and continues to be willful and deliberate.

`
`(collectively, the “Demux Accused Components”), each of which is especially made or especially
`
`adapted to practice the invention claimed in at least claim 1 of the ’683 Patent. Each Demux
`
`Accused Component within the Accused Products constitutes a material part of the claimed
`
`invention recited in at least claim 1 of the ’683 Patent and not a staple article or commodity of
`
`commerce because it is specifically configured according to at least claim 1 of the ’683 Patent.

`Juniper’s contributions include, without limitation, making, offering to sell, and/or selling within
`
`the United States, and/or importing into the United States, the Accused Products, which include
`
`one or more Demux Accused Components, knowing each Demux Accused Component to be
`
`especially made or especially adapted for use in an infringement of at least claim 1 of the ’683
`
`Patent, and not a staple article or commodity of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing
`
`use.
