This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant in that it does business

Complaint. Defendant also regularly places such products into the stream of commerce through
established relationships with retailers selling its products in New Jersey and with full awareness
that substantial quantities of such products will be sold in New Jersey. Defendant thus purposely
directs its business activities to this forum and the claims herein thereby arise out of and relate to
such business activities.
6.

Venue is proper in this district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1400(b) and 1391(b) and

(c).

8.

Interlinks products include several lines of showerheads that can be purchased

11.

Interlink is the exclusive licensee of the 619 Patent.

12.

Without Plaintiffs authorization, Defendant has made, used, sold, offered to sell

and/or imported in the United States and is still is making, using, selling, offering to sell, and/or
importing in the United States at least one handheld showerhead bearing a design that has the
same or substantially similar overall visual impression as the design covered by the 619 Patent.
A comparison of the infringing handheld showerhead in Waterpik dual showerhead model VLL133-663VB with the design reflected in the 619 Patent is set forth in Table 1 below.
