**Parties Involved:
**- **Plaintiff:** Encryptawave Technologies LLC, an Illinois limited liability company based in Lake Forest, California. **Defendant:** Lexmark International, Inc., a Delaware corporation with a significant presence at its Longmont, Colorado location.

Jurisdiction and Venue
The plaintiff asserts that the court has subject matter jurisdiction under Title 35 of the United States Code, specifically citing 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338(a). The court’s jurisdiction over Lexmark is based on the company’s business activities in Colorado, where it allegedly committed acts of patent infringement. The complaint highlights that Lexmark has derived revenue from its operations in the state, making it reasonable for the company to anticipate legal action there.

Venue is deemed appropriate under 28 U.S.C. § 1400(b) since Lexmark maintains a business address in Colorado, where some of the alleged infringements took place.

Patent Infringement Claims
The complaint specifically targets United States Patent No. 7,233,664, titled “Dynamic Security Authentication for Wireless Communication Networks,” issued on June 19, 2007. Encryptawave claims exclusive rights to the patent, stating that it has the standing to prosecute this case against Lexmark for infringement.

The ‘664 Patent focuses on a dynamic authentication method that enhances security among wireless communication network nodes. It aims to facilitate secure communication over unsecured channels, ensuring data integrity, privacy, and user authentication.

This lawsuit underscores the growing importance of patent protection in the technology sector, particularly as businesses increasingly rely on secure communication technologies. As the case progresses, the outcome may significantly impact both Encryptawave and Lexmark, potentially setting a precedent for similar patent infringement claims in the industry.
