Plaintiff MaxLinear, Inc. (MaxLinear) hereby complains of Defendant Silicon Laboratories Inc. (Silicon Labs), and by this Complaint alleges as follows: THE PARTIES 1. Plaintiff MaxLinear is a Delaware corporation with its principal place

of business and corporate headquarters at 2051 Palomar Airport Road, Suite 100, Carlsbad, California 92011. 2. MaxLinear is a leading provider of integrated radio frequency (RF)

analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communication applications. MaxLinears products enable the display of broadband video in a wide range of electronic devices, including cable and terrestrial set top boxes, digital televisions, mobile handsets, personal computers, netbooks and in-vehicle entertainment devices. MaxLinear combines high performance RF and mixed signal semiconductor design skills with expertise in digital communications systems, software and embedded systems to provide highly integrated semiconductor devices that are manufactured using low-cost complementary metal oxide semiconductor, or CMOS, process technology. 3. On information and belief, Defendant Silicon Labs is a Delaware

corporation with its principal place of business at 400 West Cesar Chavez, Austin, Texas 78701. On information and belief, Silicon Labs also has an office in Sunnyvale, California where it performs research and development and employs approximately 80 scientists, engineers, and other personnel. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 4. This Complaint arises under the patent laws of the United States, Title

35 of the United States Code. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action under 35 U.S.C. 271 et seq., 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1338(a). 5. Silicon Labs and MaxLinear have both filed complaints against each

other in two other actions that were consolidated and that are currently pending in

this District. See Case Nos. 3:12-cv1161-H-MDD and 3:12-cv-1765-H-MDD. By filing a complaint against MaxLinear in this District, Silicon Labs has subjected itself to the personal jurisdiction of this Court. 6. Additionally, the Court may exercise personal jurisdiction over

Silicon Labs because Silicon Labs has continuous and systematic contacts with the State of California and, on information and belief, does business in this District. 7. Silicon Labs conducts business within California by maintaining an

office located at 940 Steward Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94085. Silicon Labs also regularly conducts business in this District and has offered for sale and sold products and systems within this judicial district. 8. Silicon Labs has also committed and continues to commit acts of

patent infringement in this District and has harmed and continues to harm MaxLinear in this district by, among other things, offering for sale and selling infringing products and systems in this judicial district. 9. Because Silicon Labs has availed itself of the privileges of conducting

activities in this District, it is subject to personal jurisdiction in this district. Given that MaxLinear is headquartered in Carlsbad, this District and the State of California has a sufficient interest in resolving this dispute. 10. Venue is proper in this judicial district pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

1391(b), (c), (d), and/or 1400(b) because, inter alia, Silicon Labs is subject to personal jurisdiction in this District, Silicon Labs has committed acts of patent infringement in this District and continues to commit acts of infringement in this District, Plaintiff MaxLinear is headquartered in this District, and key witnesses reside in this District. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 11. MaxLinear engages in the design, development and manufacture of

radio frequency and mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for broadband communications applications, and more particularly for use in complementary

metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) silicon integrated circuits. MaxLinear has invested significant time, financial resources, and efforts in the research and development of its technology. These research and development efforts have resulted in numerous fundamental patents and hundreds of pending United States and foreign patent applications. 12. MaxLinear is the owner by assignment of U.S. Patent No. 8,374,568

(the 568 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,374,569 (the 569 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,374,570 (the 570 patent), U.S. Patent No. 8,253,488 (the 488 patent), and U.S. Patent No. 8,427,232 (the 232 patent) (collectively Asserted Patents). 13. Silicon Labs has infringed and continues to infringe one or more

claims of the Asserted Patents by making, using, selling, offering for sale, and/or importing into the United States products and systems including, but not limited to the Si2111, Si2113, Si2115, Si2128, Si2136, Si2138, Si2140, Si2143, Si2145, Si2146, Si2148, Si2153, Si2155, Si2156, Si2158, Si2170, Si2171, Si2172, Si2173, Si2176, Si2178, Si2185, Si2190, and Si2196 TV Tuner ICs (the Accused Products), without the permission of MaxLinear. Silicon Labs is, thus, liable for direct infringement of the Asserted Patents pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 271(a). 14. A reasonable opportunity for discovery is likely to show that Silicon

Labs knew and by virtue of this Complaint does now know of the Asserted Patents and that the Accused Products, on their own and/or when incorporated into devices, such as televisions, infringe the Asserted Patents. Accordingly, Silicon Labs knows that the Accused Products, and devices that incorporate the Accused Products, infringe the Asserted Patents. Silicon Labs has induced and encouraged the direct infringement of the Asserted Patents by its customers, resellers, and end users by directing them and encouraging them to make, use, sell, and offer to sell within the United States and/or to import into the United States one or more devices that embody the Asserted Patents and that incorporate the Accused

Products identified above. Silicon Labs is, therefore, liable for indirect infringement of the Asserted Patents pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 271(b). 15. Silicon Labs has and continues to contributorily infringe, and will

continue to contributorily infringe, one or more claims of the Asserted Patents. The claims of the Asserted Patents are directly infringed by Silicon Labs customers, resellers, and end users within the United States. These customers and end users use the Accused Products to practice the inventions of the Asserted Patents. The Accused Products embody all, or a majority, of the elements of the infringed claims and are thus a material part of the patented invention and are not staple articles or commodities of commerce suitable for substantial noninfringing use. Silicon Labs knows that devices incorporating the products identified above infringe the Asserted Patents. Silicon Labs knows that use of those devices infringes the Asserted Patents. Silicon Labs is, therefore, liable for indirect infringement of the Asserted Patents pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 271(c). 16. Unless enjoined by this Court, Silicon Labs will continue to infringe

the Asserted Patents, and MaxLinear will continue to suffer irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, MaxLinear is entitled to preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief against such infringement pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 283. 17. As a result of Silicon Labs infringement of the Asserted Patents,

MaxLinear has been and continues to be irreparably injured in its business and property rights, and is entitled to recover damages for such injuries pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284 in an amount to be determined at trial. COUNT I (Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 8,374,568) 18. MaxLinear repeats and realleges the allegations of paragraphs 1

through 17 in their entirety.
