15 Case 1:13-cv-01589-GMS Document 5 Filed 10/07/13 Page 16 of 28 PageID #: 247

58. OmniVision has known of the RE42,974 Patent and that its infringing products

would infringe the RE42,974 Patent due to a previous patent license agreement for several

patents including the RE42,974 Patent. Moreover, OmniVision has actual notice of its

infringement of the RE42,974 Patent as a result of Caltech's filing of this lawsuit.

59. OmniVision has had actual notice of, and has knowingly and willfully infringed

the RE42,974 Patent. OmniVision had and continues to have actual knowledge of or a deliberate

disregard for the RE42,974 Patent and its coverage of OmniVision’s infringing instrumentalities,

but has nonetheless engaged in the infringing conduct. OmniVision’s infringement of the

RE42,974 Patent was and continues to be willful.

60. OmniVision has been and is continuing to actively and knowingly induce, with

specific intent, infringement of the RE42,974 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(b) and contributes to

the infringement of the RE42,974 Patent under 35 U.S.C. § 271(c), by making, using, offering for sale, selling, and/or importing image sensors such as those listed above, as well as by contracting with manufacturers and/or distributors including, but not limited to Apple, Motorola, and Dell, to use, market, sell, offer to sell, and/or import without authority, image sensors, such as those listed above, that fall within the scope of one or more claims of the RE42,974 Patent.

For example, several Apple products contain OmniVision’s OV5650 image sensor, including the

Apple iPad (3rd and 4th generations) and iPhone 4. Also by example, Motorola products, including the Moto X, incorporate OmniVision’s OV10820 image sensor. Also by example, Dell products, including the Dell Streak 7, incorporate OmniVision’s OV5642 and OV9665 image sensors. OmniVision encourages and facilitates infringing sales and uses of image sensors, such as those listed above, through the creation and dissemination of promotional and marketing materials, instructional materials, product manuals, and/or technical materials to manufacturers

and/or distributors. OmniVision contributes to infringement by others, including manufacturers,

distributors, and end users, knowing that its image sensors, such as those listed above, constitute

a material part of the inventions of the RE42,974 Patent, knowing those image sensors to be

especially made or adapted to infringe the RE42,974 Patent, and knowing that those image

sensors are not staple articles or commodities of commerce suitable for substantial non- infringing use. OmniVision knew, or should have known, that its encouragement would result in

infringement of at least one claim of the RE42,974 Patent.
