ITC Investigation Draft (non-confidential version)

U.S. International Trade Commission
Intellectual Capital Consulting, Ltd.
Certain Vehicular Smartwatch Systems, Related Software and Components Thereof
I. INTRODUCTION
1. This Complaint is filed by Intellectual Capital Consulting, Ltd. ("ICC" or
"Complainant") under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
§ 1337, based on the unlawful importation into the United States, the sale for
importation into the United States, the sale within the United States after
importation, and/or the use within the United States after importation by the
proposed Respondents of certain smartwatch vehicular systems and components
and software thereof that infringe certain claims of United States Patent No.
7,068,151 ("the ‘151 Patent") (also referred as the , "ICC Asserted Patent") either
literally or under the doctrine of equivalents.
2. Intellectual Capital Consulting, Ltd. is a pioneer in the field of wristwatch
operated vehicles security systems, also known as smartwatch vehicular systems.
The ICC smartwatch vehicular system, which is sold under the trade name
"Blackhawk RES," was the first commercialized aftermarket smartwatch vehicular
system solution.
3. For many of consumers, smartphones have become the center of their
lives, reminding them of appointments, keeping them up on the latest news, letting
them know what friends are up to, telling them how to get to places, and even
being a conduit to pay for products or services. At the same time, many new

2
vehicles don't require a traditional key, instead letting consumers use a plastic key
fob remote to transmit RF signals to unlock doors and start the engine. Included
with the Blackhawk RES system is this traditional method of user engagement.
4. As an extension of the smartphone and plastic key fob, ICC integrated the
functions of these devices into wristwatch form factors, making one less item for
users to carry in their pocket. The Blackhawk RES system sends signals over its
data connection to ICC’s server, which then sends the lock or unlock signal to the
car, there is no distance restriction. Users can activate the locks from anywhere in
the world that have a data connection for their mobile phones.
5. In addition, the Blackhawk RES system incorporates a GPS module,
enabling a geo-fencing feature useful for parents. With that, consumers can use the
Blackhawk RES system to define a circular area around a central point. If the car
was driven outside of that area, the Blackhawk RES system shows an alert.
6. One of the challenges ICC faced in creating a commercially viable product
was to create a smartwatch vehicular system that matched the performance,
reliability and pricing of traditional plastic key fob, smartphone and GPS tracking
system solutions. ICC surpassed this challenge and developed a smartwatch
vehicular system that was commensurate to existing solutions like plastic key fob,
smartphone and GPS tracking security systems. To do so, ICC developed unique,
market rate, mid-tier and elite packaging options to appeal to the spectrum of
vehicle enthusiasts. Further, ICC needed to package the wristwatch remote in a
fashion forward manner while providing the user with necessary notifications,
alerts and/or updates from the vehicle. This is the essence of the ‘151 Patent.

3
7. A user of the Blackhawk RES system will not only be able to keep track of
the time and check notifications from their smartphone via the smartwatch but
also will be able to arm/lock, disarm/unlock and remotely start their vehicle by
interfacing with the smartwatch. Moreover, it is common for people to lose or
misplace their keys along with the plastic remote fob that is attached to the keys.
Since the smartwatch situated on the users wrist, the user never has to worry
about damage due to dropping on a hard surfaces, in liquids (ex. water), or even
losing their plastic remote fob. Therefore, the ICC smartwatch vehicular
technology drastically improves consumer smartwatch adaptation, system
reliability, and significantly increases user convenience.

V. PATENT IN SUIT
68. From its research and development on vehicle security systems,
including its smartwatch vehicular systems technology, ICC obtained, on June 27,
2006, the duly, properly and legally issued U.S. Patent No. 7,068,151, entitled
"Vehicle Security System." ICC obtained the '151 Patent as assignee of named

29
inventor and ICC founder, Samuel K. Giles, and exclusive licensee of named
inventor Christopher E. Smith. See Exhibits 2, 3 & Confidential Exhibit 52.
69. Generally speaking, the ICC '151 Patent is directed to smartwatch
operated vehicular security systems. The system generally includes a smartwatch
that communicates with an on-board vehicular control unit, thus providing end
users with vehicular security and convenience features such as remote door lock
and unlock, trunk release, and remote engine start.
70. Samuel K. Giles and Christopher E. Smith are the named inventors of
the ICC '151 Patent. As a part of his fiduciary duty with ICC, Samuel K. Giles
assigned all rights, title, and interest in the ICC '151 Patent to ICC. Additionally,
co-inventor Mr. Smith has also exclusively licensed to ICC all substantial rights in
the ’151 patent, including the right to exclude others and to enforce, sue, and
recover damages for past and future infringements. See Exhibit 2 & Confidential
52.
71. Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.12(c), copies of the certified
prosecution history of the ICC Asserted Patent have been submitted with this
Complaint as Appendices A. Pursuant to Commission Rule 210.12(c), the cited
references for the ICC Asserted Patents also have been submitted with this
Complaint as Appendices B.

VI. NONTECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
72. Pursuant to United States Patent No. 7,068,151 (‘151 Patent), entitled
"Vehicle Security System," issued on June 27, 2006 and lists Samuel K. Giles and
Christopher E. Smith as its inventors. The ‘151 Patent expires on June 27, 2023.
The ‘151 Patent claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent App. No. 60/470,566,
filed on May 14, 2003.
73. The ‘151 Patent contains 22 claims, including 1 independent claim and
21 dependent claims. ICC asserts that Respondent's smartwatch enabled vehicular
system components and software therein, and activities relating thereto, infringe
at least system claim 1, and dependent claims 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 18, 19, 20, 21,
& 22 of the ‘151 Patent, directly or indirectly, either literally or under the doctrine
of equivalents.
74. The ‘151 Patent generally relates to a system for improved
communication between wearable technology devices and connected vehicles.
Further, the ‘151 Patent discusses remote watch design for a car security system.
A user of the smartwatch will not only be able to keep track of the time but also
will be able to arm/lock, disarm/unlock and remotely start their vehicle by
interfacing with the watch. It is common for people to lose or misplace their keys
along with the keyless remote that is attached to the keys. Since the watch is
conveniently located on the users wrist, the user never has to worry about damage
due to dropping it on a hard surface, in liquids (ex. water), or even losing their
keyless remote as you would by having a keyless remote attached to keys or a key

31
chain. If the user ever loses their keys or locks them in a trunk, the remote watch
will allow the user to maintain access to their vehicle.

VIII. SPECIFIC INSTANCES OF UNFAIR IMPORTATION AND SALE
156. The Proposed Respondents have sold for importations, imported, and/or
sold after importation in the United States Accused Products as identified below.
157. The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
requires that all “passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses,
trailers (including trailer kits), incomplete vehicles, and motorcycles” bear a 17-
character vehicle identification number (VIN). (49 C.F.R. 565.1 et seq.) The VIN is
assigned by the automobile manufacturer, and must be affixed on the car in a
location that is not designed to be removed. Typically, the VIN is listed at least on
a sticker inside the driver’s door panel, as well as on a panel on the dash-board
facing out the windshield just above the steering wheel.
158. The first three digits of the VIN identify the manufacturer, make and type
of motor vehicle. The first digit typically identifies the country of final assembly,
for example vehicles with VIN’s that begin in the letter “J” are manufactured in

57
Japan, those that begin in the number “3” are manufactured in Mexico, etc. A
sampling of codes as relevant to the exemplary Accused Products follows:
2 = Canada J = Japan 3 = Mexico K = Republic of Korea
W = Germany Y = Sweden S = England
159. The VIN of each of the exemplary Accused Products begins in a character
indicating that the automobile was made outside the United States. The
exemplary Accused Products were all offered for sale or sold in the United States.
This proves that the exemplary Accused Products were each manufactured abroad
and imported into the United States. The VIN for each exemplary accused product
is identified below and in the supporting claim charts at Exhibits 5-32.
160. Further, the Automobile Information Disclosure Act of 1958, 15 U.S.C. §§
1231-1233, requires:
“Every manufacturer of new automobiles distributed in commerce shall… securely
affix to the windshield, or side window of such automobile a label on which such
manufacturer shall endorse clearly, distinctly and legibly true and correct entries
disclosing the following information concerning such automobile - the final
assembly point.”
161. Even for automobiles that were finally assembled in the United States,
many such automobiles use smartwatch vehicular systems manufactured abroad
and imported into the United States. Such products are similarly embodied in the
scope of this Complaint.

X. FOREIGN PATENTS CORRESPONDING
186. In accordance with Commission Rule 2l0.l2(a)(9)(v), ICC is unaware of any
foreign counterparts to the asserted ‘151 Patent.
XI. RELATED LITIGATION
187. On June 2, 2015, ICC filed a Complaint in the Eastern District of Texas,
accusing Hyundai Motor Company et al et al. of infringing ICC’s Asserted Patents.
See Exhibit 40 (Intellectual Capital Consulting, Ltd. v. Hyundai Motor Company et al.,
Case No. 2:15-cv-00917-RWS-RSP. Discovery has not yet commenced in this
action.
XII. THE DOMESTIC INDUSTRY
188. In accordance with 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(2) and 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(3), a
domestic industry exists and is also in the process of being established in the
United States in connection with the ‘151 Patent. Specifically, ICC has established
and is actively engaged in developing a domestic industry in the United States in
products covered by the ‘151 Patent. Furthermore, ICC has made significant
investments in engineering hours, research and development, pre-and post-
manufacturing activities in the United States, such as conceptualizing product
requirements and specifications, simulating designs, testing, marketing and selling

65
to support its products practicing the Asserted Patent. Additionally, ICC does not
have any licensees and is not relying upon any license to establish standing or
satisfy the domestic injury requirement.
A. ICC Meets the Economic Prong of the Domestic Industry
Requirement
189. ICC offers a number of products that are covered by the ‘151 Patent, and
is preparing to offer additional such products (the "ICC Patented Products"). Prior
to product development, ICC previously manufactured prototypes of its ICC
Patented Products in working towards commercialization. ICC has completed the
pre-production phase and is marketing the ICC Patented Products under the
Blackhawk Remote Engine Starter (Blackhawk RES) brand.
190. Section 337(a)(3) sets forth the criteria for establishing the "economic
prong." Specifically, "an industry in the United States shall be considered to exist if
there is in the United States, with respect to the articles protected by patent ... (A)
significant investment in plant and equipment; (B) significant employment of
labor or capital; or (C) substantial investment in its exploitation, including
engineering, research and development, or licensing." 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(3)(A)-
(C). Satisfaction of anyone of these criteria is sufficient to meet the economic
prong of the domestic industry requirement. Certain Silicon Microphone Packages
and Products Containing the Same, Inv. No. 337-TA-695, Initial Determination, p.
86 (March 24, 2010). In the instant matter, ICC meets aspect § 337(a)(3)(C).

66
191. Moreover, since the ‘151 Patent arises from inventive work in the United
States and ICC has continuously taken the necessary steps toward
commercialization, thus it has sufficiently established a nexus between its
domestic investments and the asserted ‘151 Patent. (See SKG Decl.¶19 Ex. 49).
192. Furthermore, the Federal Circuit had held that the “articles protected by
the patent” requirement is satisfied when the patented technology was found in
both the licensed products and the accused products, concluding: “As long as the
patent covers the article that is the subject of the exclusion proceeding, and as long
as the party seeking relief can show that it has a sufficiently substantial
investment in the exploitation of the intellectual property to satisfy the domestic
industry requirement of the statute, that party is entitled to seek relief under
section 337.” See InterDigital Communications LLC v. ITC, 707 F.3d 1295, 1297-98
(Fed. Cir. 2013). Claim charts showing that the ICC Patented Products practice the
‘151 Patent are attached hereto as Confidential Exhibit 39.
193. ICC’s acquisition licensing investment of the ‘151 Patent rights have
driven the adoption, development and the production of Blackhawk RES domestic
articles, thus the in-licensing activity satisfies 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(3)(C). See
Confidential Exhibit 52
i. ICC Has Made a Substantial Investment within the United
States for the Exploitation of Articles Protected by the Asserted
Patent, Including Engineering, and Research and Development

67
194. ICC has made substantial investment in the United States for the
exploitation of its products practicing the claims of the Asserted Patents. For
example, ICC maintains significant wireless, warranty, and after-sales customer
service within the United States for its Blackhawk RES smartwatch vehicular
systems practicing the claims of the ICC Asserted Patent. Additionally, ICC
contracts with Aeris Communications to provide wireless support and services for
its current customers. Further, ICC has invested in continued research and
development in smartwatch interfaces applications for the vehicular system, as
detailed by the recent ICC design patent submission, U.S. Patent Application No.
29/513,798. See Confidential Exhibit 51.
B. Domestic Industry, If not Already Established, is in the Process of
Being Established
195. To the extent that ICC’s activities do not already establish domestic
industry, ICC’s investments demonstrate that it is taking necessary, tangible steps
to establish an industry in the United States, and there is a significant likelihood
that the domestic-industry requirement will be met in the future. As for the
legislative history of section 337(a)(2), an industry would be considered “in the
process of being established” if the patent owner “can demonstrate that he is
taking the necessary tangible steps to establish such an industry in the United
States.” S. Rep. 100-71 at 130. “The owner of the intellectual property right must
be actively engaged in steps leading to the exploitation of the intellectual property,
including application engineering, design work, or other such activities. The
Commission should determine whether the steps being taken indicate a significant
likelihood that the industry requirement will be satisfied in the future.” H. Rep.

68
100-40 at 157. Moreover, “the mere ownership of a patent or other form of
intellectual property rights would not be sufficient to satisfy this test.” S. Rep.
100-71 at 129.
i. What was the level of interest from potential manufacturers,
investors, and licensees in ICC’s technology prior to release of
the Respondents’ smartwatch vehicular systems? Did
Respondents’ release of smartwatch vehicular systems cause
this interest to decrease? To what extent would the
products(s) being developed by ICC compete with
Respondents’ products?
196. On or about September 10, 2014, the Specialty Equipment Marketing
Association (SEMA) selected ICC’s patented Blackhawk RES was as one of the top
five innovations and was invited to present the technology during SEMA’s annual
trade show in Las Vegas See Exhibit 42. Further, ICC debuted the ICC Patented
Products via the Blackhawk RES brand and launched a crowd funding campaign
during the SEMA presentation. There was and still is interest from potential
manufacturers, investors and licensees. For example, potential manufacturers
such as Audiovox and Delphi expressed interest in the technology. Unfortunately,
it is suspected that Audiovox lost interest in the technology due to the barrage of
non-licensed market entrants.
197. Additionally, one potential investor is the renowned start-up accelerator
Techstars. As a global ecosystem, Techstars empowers entrepreneurs to bring
new technologies to market wherever they choose to build their business. The
