copy of the 965 patent is attached hereto as Exhibit B. (The 493 and 965 patents are referred to as the Patents in Suit.) FIRST CLAIM FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 6. Arradiance repeats paragraphs 1-5, above. 7. In mid 2007, Arradiance began experimenting with the application of atomic layer deposition (ALD) technology to microchannel plate (MCP) amplifiers. Arradiance invested several million dollars in this effort over the following years. Arradiance filed its first patent application for this technology in February 2008, which the Patent Office awarded as the 493 patent. Arradiance produced the first ALD-functionalized MCP in late 2007. 8. On September 29, 2011, Incom met with Arradiance for the first time to discuss licensing of the Arradiance intellectual property relevant to ALD-functionalized MCPs. Those negotiations continued until March 11, 2012 when Incom, through an email to Ken Stenton, President of Arradiance from Michael Detarando, President and CEO of Incom, stated his desire to step back from agreement negotiations. This was the last communication from Incom involving the licensing negotiations despite continued offers by Arradiance for discussions. 9. On April 18, 2012, Incom publicly announced it would commercialize ALDfunctionalized MCPs by applying ALD technology to Incoms microcapillary array plates. 10. On June 27, 2012, while acknowledging that it would become a competitor with Arradiance, Incom privately contacted Arradiances Principal ALD Scientist, a full-time Arradiance employee, soliciting his assistance to fill a newly created ALD scientist position at Incom. 11. In August 2012, Arradiance notified Incom in writing of eight patents owned by Arradiance, relevant to ALD-functionalized MCPs, including the Patents in Suit.

12. In early 2013 Incom began advertising for sale, and continues to advertise, ALDfunctionalized MCPs for various applications including medical imaging. Incom has quoted prices based on a pricing model Arradiance disclosed during the licensing negotiations with Incom. 13. Incom has had actual notice of the Patents in Suit at all relevant times. 14. Incom has directly infringed claims of the 493 patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, or offering for sale products or methods covered by the claims of that patent. 15. Incoms infringement has been willful. 16. Incoms infringement has damaged Arradiance. 17. Incom has liability under 35 U.S.C. 271 to Arradiance arising from its infringement, in amounts that adequately compensate Arradiance, but no less than a reasonable royalty, together with interest and costs under 35 U.S.C. 284. SECOND CLAIM FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 18. Arradiance repeats paragraphs 1-17, above. 19. Incom has directly infringed claims of the 965 patent by, among other things, making, using, selling, or offering for sale products or methods covered by the claims of that patent. 20. Incoms infringement has been willful. 21. Incoms infringement has damaged Arradiance. 22. Incom has liability under 35 U.S.C. 271 to Arradiance arising from its infringement, in amounts that adequately compensate Arradiance, but no less than a reasonable royalty, together with interest and costs under 35 U.S.C. 284.

RELIEF REQUESTED Arradiance requests the Court to grant judgment: A. That Incom has infringed one or more claims of the patents in suit; B. For all damages and costs that Arradiance has sustained as a result of the infringement; C. Trebling those damages because of Incoms willful infringement; D. For a permanent injunction against Incoms continued infringement; E. That this is an exceptional case and awarding attorneys fees under 35 U.S.C. 285; and F. For such further relief as the Court may find appropriate. JURY DEMAND Arradiance requests a trial by jury.
