Civil Justice Expense and Delay Reduction Plan
Section 1:03 - Assignment to a Management Track

(a) The clerk of court will assign cases to tracks (a) through (d) based on the initial pleading.

(b) In all cases not appropriate for assignment by the clerk of court to tracks (a) through (d), the
plaintiff shall submit to the clerk of court and serve with the complaint on all defendants a case management
track designation form specifying that the plaintiff believes the case requires Standard Management or Special

(c) The court may, on its own initiative or upon the request of any party, change the track
assignment of any case at any time.

(d) Nothing in this Plan is intended to abrogate or limit a judicial officer's authority in any case
pending before that judicial officer, to direct pretrial and trial proceedings that are more stringent than those
of the Plan and that are designed to accomplish cost and delay reduction.

(e) Nothing in this Plan is intended to supersede Local Civil Rules 40.1 and 72.1, or the
procedure for random assignment of Habeas Corpus and Social Security cases referred to magistrate judges of
the court.

SPECIAL MANAGEMENT CASE ASSIGNMENTS
(See 1.02 (e) Management Track Definitions of the
Civil Justice Expense and Delay Reduction Plan)

Special Management cases will usually include that class of cases commonly referred to as "complex
litigation" as that term has been used in the Manuals for Complex Litigation. The first manual was prepared
in 1969 and the Manual for Complex Litigation Second, MCL 2d was prepared in 1985. This term is
intended to include cases that present unusual problems and require extraordinary treatment. See 0.1 of the
first manual. Cases may require special or intense management by the court due to one or more of the
following factors: (1) large number of parties; (2) large number of claims or defenses; (3) complex factual
issues; (4) large volume of evidence; (5) problems locating or preserving evidence; (6) extensive discovery;
(7) exceptionally long time needed to prepare for disposition; (8) decision needed within an exceptionally
short time; and (9) need to decide preliminary issues before final disposition. It may include two or more
related cases. Complex litigation typically includes such cases as antitrust cases; cases involving a large
number of parties or an unincorporated association of large membership; cases involving requests for
injunctive relief affecting the operation of large business entities; patent cases; copyright and trademark cases;
common disaster cases such as those arising from aircraft crashes or marine disasters; actions brought by
individual stockholders; stockholder's derivative and stockholder's representative actions; class actions or
potential class actions; and other civil (and criminal) cases involving unusual multiplicity or complexity of
factual issues. See 0.22 of the first Manual for Complex Litigation and Manual for Complex Litigation
Second, Chapter 33.

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED
COMPLAINT FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT
Plaintiff H.C. Starck GmbH (Starck), for its Complaint against Defendant Ningxia
Nonferrous Metals Smeltery, d/b/a Ningxia Orient Tantalum Industry Co., Ltd. and Ningxia
Nonferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation (Ningxia), states and alleges the
following:
Introduction
1. This is an action for patent infringement and for an injunction against Defendant
Ningxia for infringement of United States Letters Patent No. 6,193,779 ("the Starck Patent"),
relating to methods for producing tantalum powder with particular characteristics suitable for use
in electrolytic capacitors. Plaintiff Starck also seeks increased damages for Ningxias willful
infringement of the Starck patent. This action arises under 35 U.S.C. 271, 281-85 et seq.
The Parties
2. Plaintiff Starck is a German corporation, having a principal place of
business at Im Schleeke 78-91, 38642 Goslar, Germany. As part of its business, Starck is a

-2-
leading global supplier of refractory metals (that are resistant to heat and wear), including
tantalum powder.
3. On information and belief, Defendant Ningxia is a corporation organized under the
laws of the Peoples Republic of China with its principal place of business in Shizuishan City,
Ningxia, China. On information and belief, as part of its business, Ningxia is a manufacturer and
importer into the United States of refractory metals, including tantalum powder.
Jurisdiction and Venue
4. This is an action arising under the patent laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C.
101 et seq. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 271 et seq. and 28
U.S.C. 1331 and 1338 because Ningxia has committed acts of patent infringement within the
United States and this judicial district.
5. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Ningxia. At a minimum, Ningxia has
delivered infringing products into the stream of commerce with the expectation that they will be
purchased by consumers in Pennsylvania, including consumers in the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania. On information and belief, Ningxia regularly and continuously transacts business
within this judicial district by importing, selling and/or offering for sale, inter alia, infringing
products; engages in other business related to such products; and/or otherwise has engaged in
persistent conduct in this judicial district. Ningxia has committed acts of patent infringement
within this judicial district, thereby causing injury to Plaintiff, and Ningxia otherwise is within
the jurisdiction of this Court.
6. Venue is proper in this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. 1391 and 1400.

The Starck Patent
7. Starck is a world leader in the manufacture of high tech materials, including but not
limited to tantalum powder that extensively is used to make capacitors. Tantalum capacitors are
characterized by high electronic capacitance in small volume and reliability under extreme
conditions. Because of their size and weight advantage, tantalum capacitors are widely used in
electronic products, such as mobile communication devices, laptop computers, and automotive
electronics.
8. Starck's substantial investment in research and development is the driving force
behind its success and has resulted in a vast portfolio of patented innovations, including the
patent asserted in this Complaint.
9. On February 27, 2001, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued the
Starck Patent, which is entitled "Tantalum Powder, Method for Producing Same Powder and
Sintered Anodes Obtained From It." A copy of the Starck Patent is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
10. Starck is the assignee of all rights, title, and interest in and to the Starck Patent,
including the right to license any of these aforementioned rights to third parties. Starck
possesses all rights of recovery under the Starck Patent, including the right to sue for
infringement and to recover damages.
11. The Starck Patent claims, inter alia, tantalum powders with specific properties
and processes for making such tantalum powders. The Starck Patent claims, inter alia, a
tantalum powder, which after sintering at a temperature between 1100 and 1300 C. for 10
minutes and forming at 16 volts has a specific charge of 120,000 to 180,000 FV/g at a leakage
current of less than 2 nA/FV.
Case 2:12-cv-05562-CDJ Document 1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 7 of 29

-4-
12. On information and belief, Ningxia, together with others in active concert or
participation with Ningxia, has offered for sale, sold and imported and is continuing to offer for
sale, sell, and import into the United States infringing tantalum products that fall within the
scope of at least one claim of the Starck patent. On information and belief, Ningxia has offered
for sale, sold and/or imported tantalum powder, which after sintering at a temperature between
1100 and 1300 C. for 10 minutes and forming at 16 volts has a specific charge of 120,000 to
180,000 FV/g at a leakage current of less than 2 nA/FV. A copy of the Special Invoice for
Exported Commodities listing Ningxia Nonferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation as the
seller to a third party in Norristown, Pennsylvania, including a Quality Control Report indicating
the specifications of the imported tantalum powder, is attached hereto as Exhibit B. An additional
invoice listing Ningxia Nonferrous Metals Import and Export Corporation as the shipper to
Norristown, Pennsylvania also is attached hereto as Exhibit C.
Count I Infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,193,779
13. Starck realleges and incorporates herein by reference the allegations of numbered
paragraphs 1 through 12 above as if fully restated herein.
14. Ningxia has infringed and/or induced the infringement of and/or contributed to the
infringement of the Starck Patent and is continuing to infringe and/or induce the infringement of
and/or contribute to the infringement of the Starck Patent by importing, making, using, offering
for sale, and/or selling in the United States, or by intending that others, in active concert and/or
participation with Ningxia, import, make, use, offer for sale, and/or sell in the United States,
tantalum products covered by the Starck Patent.
15. Starck is entitled to recover from Ningxia the damages sustained by Starck as a
result of Ningxia's wrongful acts.
Case 2:12-cv-05562-CDJ Document 1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 8 of 29

-5-
16. On information and belief, Ningxia's infringement of the Starck Patent is with
knowledge of the Starck Patent and is both willful and deliberate.
17. As a result of Ningxia's acts as charged in this Complaint, Starck has suffered and
will continue to suffer irreparable harm, for which there is no adequate remedy at law, unless
Ningxia is enjoined by this Court.
WHEREFORE, Starck prays for the following relief and judgment against Ningxia:
A. Entering an Order adjudging that Ningxia is infringing the Starck Patent;
B. Entering an Order adjudging that infringement by Ningxia of the Starck Patent
was willful, and that the continued infringement by Ningxia is willful;
C. Entering an order preliminarily and permanently enjoining Ningxia, its officers,
directors, principals, agents, attorneys, employees, successors and assigns, and all
others acting in privity or in concert with them, from any acts of infringement of
the Starck Patent;
D. Awarding Starck damages in an amount adequate to compensate for the
infringement by Ningxia of the Starck Patent, but in no event less than a
reasonable royalty under 35 U.S.C. 284;
E. Entering an order trebling any and all damages awarded by reason of the willful
infringement by Ningxia of the Starck Patent, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284;
F. Entering an order awarding Starck interest on the damages awarded and its costs
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 284;
G. Declaring this an exceptional case and awarding Starck its costs, expenses, and
reasonable attorneys fees pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 285 and all other applicable
statutes, rules, and common law; and
Case 2:12-cv-05562-CDJ Document 1 Filed 09/28/12 Page 9 of 29

H. Awarding Starck such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and
proper.
JURY DEMAND
Starck hereby demands trial by jury on all issues in its Complaint so triable.
