JURISDICTION This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 28

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

5.

Venue is proper in the United States District Court for the Central District of

2 California under 28 U.S.C. 1391(b), 1400(b). 3 4 6. 7. PARTIES Plaintiff Peregrine is a Delaware corporation with a principal place of

5 business at 9380 Carroll Park Drive, San Diego, California 92121. 6 Upon information and belief, Defendant RFMD is a North Carolina 7 corporation with a principal place of business at 7628 Thorndike Road, Greensboro, 8 North Carolina 27409. 9 8. Upon information and belief, Defendant MMI is a Delaware corporation 10 with a principal place of business at 600 N. US Hwy 45, Libertyville, Illinois 60048. 11 9. Defendants John Does 1-10 are parties whose identities are not yet known to 12 Peregrine. To the extent their identities become known to Plaintiff Peregrine, the John 13 Doe defendants will be named and their activities pleaded in an amended complaint. 14 15 FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS Plaintiff Peregrine is the owner by assignment of all rights, title, and interest in and

16 to United States Patent Nos. 7,910,993 (the '993 Patent"), 7,123,898 (the "898 17 Patent"), 7,460,852 (the '852 Patent"), 7,796,969 (the '969 Patent"), and 7,860,499 18 (the '499 Patent") (collectively, the "Peregrine Patents") (Exhibits A-E). The '993 19 Patent is entitled "Method and Apparatus for Use in Improving Linearity of MOSFET's 20 Using an Accumulated Charge Sink" and issued March 22, 2011. The '898 Patent is 21 entitled "Switch Circuit and Method of Switching Radio Frequency Signals" and issued 22 October 17, 2006. The '852 Patent is entitled "Switch Circuit and Method of Switching 23 Radio Frequency Signals" and issued December 2, 2008. The '969 Patent is entitled 24 "Symmetrically and Asymmetrically Stacked Transistor Group RF Switch" and issued 25 September 14, 2010. Lastly, the '499 Patent is entitled "Switch Circuit and Method of 26 Switching Radio Frequency Signals" and issued December 28, 2010. Accordingly, 27 Peregrine has standing to sue for infringement of the Asserted Patents. 28 The Asserted Patents disclose advanced integrated circuit technologies for use in
2

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

1 radio frequency circuits, including but not limited to radio frequency switches. Radio 2 frequency circuits practicing the Asserted Patents can be used in a variety of devices 3 including, for example, antenna tuning circuits, devices that use diversity or multiple4 input and multiple-output (MMO) antennas, and mobile wireless devices that use cellular 5 technologies and wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies. Mobile wireless 6 devices that use radio frequency circuits practicing the Asserted Patents may (a) transmit 7 and/or receive wireless signals more efficiently while consuming less power, (b) be 8 smaller in size because the Asserted Patents disclose techniques that allow the integration 9 of functions that previously had to be handled by separate components, and (c) be less 10 expensive to manufacture due to the ability to leverage the established global 11 Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor ("CMOS") manufacturing infrastructure, 12 rather than needing to rely on the more specialized manufacturing processes required by 13 the devices that utilized previously available technologies and techniques. After 14 significant investments in research and development, engineering, labor, plant and 15 equipment, manufacturing and marketing, Peregrine-branded radio frequency switches 16 that practice the Asserted Patents have been selected for use in wireless handsets by 17 many of the leading wireless handset manufacturers including Apple, LG, Nokia, 18 Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. 19 Upon information and belief, RFMD has and continues to infringe, contributorily 20 infringe, and/or induce infringement of the Asserted Patents by knowingly and actively 21 (1) making, having made, importing, using, offering for sale and/or selling products that 22 infringe one or more claims of the Asserted Patents, including integrated circuits with 23 integrated circuit die markings M1D1604 and M1D1293 such as RF1603, RF1604, and 24 RF 1293, (2) inducing others to do the same, and (3) contributing to the manufacture, 25 import, use, sale, or offer for sale products that infringe one or more claims of the 26 Asserted Patents. In addition, upon information and belief, MME has and continues to 27 infringe, contributorily infringe, and/or induce infringement of the Asserted Patents by 28 knowingly and actively (1) making, having made, importing, using, offering for sale
3

COMPLAINT FOR DAMAGES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF

1 and/or selling products that infringe one or more claims of the Asserted Patents, 2 including MMI's DROID RAZR and DROID BIONIC handsets (Model Nos. XT912 and 3 XT875, respectively), both of which contain RF1603, which contains integrated circuit 4 die marking M1D1604, (2) inducing others to do the same, and (3) contributing to the 5 manufacture, import, use, sale, or offer for sale products that infringe one or more claims 6 of the Asserted Patents. The RF1603, RF 1604, RF1293, DROID RAZR handset, and 7 DROID BIONIC handset infringe at least claims 14-16 and 23-25 of the '993 Patent, 8 claims 1-3, 5-7, and 15 of the '898 Patent, claims 1-4, 7, 13, 14, 20, 22, 24, and 25 of the 9 `852 Patent, claims 6-8 and 29-30 of the '969 Patent, and claims 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the '499 10 Patent. 11 12 13 15 10. 11. 14 set forth herein. Plaintiff Peregrine is the owner by assignment of all rights, title, and interest 16 in and to the '993 Patent. Peregrine therefore has standing to sue for infringement of the 17 `993 Patent. 18 12. Upon information and belief, Defendants have infringed and continue to 19 infringe the '993 Patent by knowingly and actively making, having made, importing, 20 using, offering to sell, or selling products that infringe one or more claims of the '993 21 Patent, including but not limited to certain integrated circuits (including those with 22 integrated circuit die markings M1D1604 and M1D1293 such as RF1603, RF1604, and 23 RF 1293, which are marketed and sold by RFMD), components thereof, and/or devices 24 using certain integrated circuits or components thereof (such as MMI's DROID RAZR 25 and DROID BIONIC handsets, which are marketed and sold by MMI) that incorporate, 26 without license, the inventions developed by Peregrine and protected by one or more 27 claims in the '993 Patent, or by knowingly and actively inducing or contributing to the 28 infringement of the '993 Patent by others.
