10. As of a date not yet ascertained, Defendant PCT has been, and presently is,
willfully infringing the Paglia Patent by importing into, making, using, offering for sale, and/or
selling within the United States, including within this judicial district, jumper sleeves that come
2
within the scope of one or more claims of the Paglia Patent, with full knowledge and awareness
of the Paglia Patent and without the authority, consent, or approval of Plaintiffs Amphenol and
TFC.
11. Defendant PCT's jumper sleeves infringe, literally or by equivalents, one or more
