JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. APS brings this action for patent infringement under the patent laws of the United

States, namely 35 U.S.C. 271, 281, and 284-285, among others. 4. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claims in this action pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. 1331, 1338(a), and 1367. 5. Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1391 (b), 1391(c)

and 1400(b). Defendant resides in this judicial district, has committed acts of infringement in this judicial district, has purposely transacted business in this judicial district, and/or has regular and established places of business in this judicial district. 6. Defendant is subject to this Courts specific and general personal jurisdiction

pursuant to due process and due at least to its substantial business in this State and judicial district, including: (A) at least part of its infringing activities alleged herein; and (B) regularly doing or soliciting business and, accordingly, deriving substantial revenue from goods and services provided to Illinois residents. PATENT INFRINGEMENT 7. 8. APS incorporates paragraphs 1 through 6 herein by reference. APS is the assignee of the 111 patent, entitled Printer with Internal Document

Data Construction, with ownership of all substantial rights in the 111 patent, including the right exclude others and to enforce, sue and recover damages for past and future infringement. A true and correct copy of the 111 patent is attached as Exhibit A. 9. The 111 patent is valid, enforceable, and was duly issued in full compliance with

Title 35 of the United States Code.

10.

Defendant has infringed and continue to directly infringe one or more claims of

the 111 patent in this judicial district and elsewhere in Illinois and the United States by or through the testing, making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing of certain printing devices, a list of which is attached as Exhibit B. Defendant has been, and now is, directly infringing claims of the 111 patent, including (for example, and without limitation) at least claims 17 and 18 of the 111 patent, by or through the testing, making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing of printing devices that are sold with, inter alia, an internal printer controller, an external data stream input port operative to receive an external data stream including automatic document selection data, a document construction module in communication with the internal printer controller, and a document data printing mechanism that prints document data in a designated document format. 11. APS has been damaged as a result of Defendants infringing conduct described

herein. Defendant is, thus, liable to APS in an amount that adequately compensates it for Defendants infringements, which, by law, cannot be less than a reasonable royalty, together with interest and costs as fixed by this Court under 35 U.S.C. 284.
