Upon information and belief, Defendant has been and is now directly infringing, and indirectly infringing by way of inducing infringement and/or contributing to the infringement of the 406 Patent in the State of Texas, in this judicial district, and elsewhere in the United States by, among other things, making, using, offering to sell, selling and/or importing methods, systems and/or software covered by one or more claims of the 406 Patent within the United States, including in connection with various websites (including, but not limited to,
