`
`COUNT I: INFRINGEMENT OF THE ’269 PATENT BY SAMSUNG
`
`Plaintiff incorporates the preceding paragraphs as if fully set forth herein.
`
`On information and belief, Samsung has infringed the ’269 Patent pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §
`
`19.
`
`20.
`
`271(a), literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell, selling in
`
`the United States or importing into the United States the Accused Products and all other products
`
`with substantially similar imaging sensors.
`
`21.
`
`For example, on information and belief, Samsung has infringed and continues to infringe
`
`at least claim 2 of the ’269 Patent by including a rear facing package structure including a
`
`photosensitive chip in the Samsung Note 3 product. See Ex.1 (Samsung Note 3 rear facing package
`
`structure). The rear facing package structure in the Accused Products comprises a substrate having
`
`an upper surface and a lower surface opposite to the upper surface. See Ex. 2. The rear facing
`
`package structure further comprises a frame layer having a first surface and a second surface
`
`opposite to the first surface, the frame layer being formed on the substrate with the first surface
`
`contacting the upper surface of the substrate, so as to form a cavity with the substrate. See Ex. 1.
`
`The rear facing package structure further comprises a photosensitive chip placed on the upper
`
`surface of the substrate and within the cavity. See Ex. 1. The rear facing package structure further
`
`comprises a plurality of wires for electrically connecting the substrate to the photosensitive chip.
`
`See Ex. 3. The rear facing package structure further comprises a transparent layer arranged on the
`
`frame layer to cover the photosensitive chip, wherein the second surface of the frame layer is
`
`formed with a depression in which the transparent layer is placed to cover the photosensitive chip.
`
`See Exs. 1 and 4. The rear facing package further comprises a plurality of projections each having
`
`a suitable height and formed within depression layer of the frame layer. See Ex. 5.
`
`22.
`
`On information and belief, Samsung has induced infringement of the ’269 Patent pursuant
`
`to 35 U.S.C. § 271(b), by actively and knowingly inducing, directing, causing, and encouraging
`

`others, including, but not limited to, its partners, resellers, distributers, customers, and end users,
`
`to make, use, sell, and/or offer to sell in the United States, and/or import into the United States,
`
`the Accused Products by, among other things, providing the accused products and incorporated
`
`image sensor technology, specifications, instructions, manuals, advertisements, marketing
`
`materials, and technical assistance relating to the installation, set up, use, operation, and
`
`maintenance of said products.

`
`271(a), literally or under the doctrine of equivalents, by making, using, offering to sell, selling in
`
`the United States or importing into the United States the Accused Products and all other products
`
`with substantially similar imaging sensors.
`
`26.
`
`For example, on information and belief, Samsung has infringed and continues to infringe
`
`at least claim 1 of the ’544 Patent by including an image sensor module to be mounted to a printed
`
`circuit board in the Samsung Tab A10.1 product. See Ex. 6 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front facing
`
`image sensor). The front facing image sensor module in the Accused Products comprises a
`
`substrate having an upper surface formed with a plurality of first connection points and a lower
`
`surface formed with a plurality of second connection points, which is electrically connected to the
`
`printed circuit board. See Exs. 7-8 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front facing image sensor). The image
`
`sensor module further comprises a photosensitive chip mounted to the upper surface of the
`
`substrate. See Ex. 6 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front facing image sensor). The image sensor module
`
`further comprises a plurality of wires for electrically connecting the photosensitive chip to the first

`connection points on the upper surface of the substrate. See Ex. 8 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front
`
`facing image sensor). The image sensor module further comprises a frame layer mounted to the
`
`upper surface of the substrate to surround the photosensitive chip, an inner edge of the frame layer
`
`being formed with an internal thread from top to bottom, and a transparent layer being fixed by
`
`the frame layer such that the photosensitive chip may receive optical signals passing through the
`
`transparent layer. See Exs. 6-7, 9 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front facing image sensor). The image
`
`sensor module further comprises a lens barrel formed with a chamber at a center thereof and an
`
`external thread at an outer edge thereof, the external thread being screwed to the internal thread of
`
`the frame layer, wherein the lens barrel has a through hole and an aspheric lens from top to bottom.
`
`See Exs. 6, 10-11 (Samsung Tab A10.1” front facing image sensor).
`
