`
`Defendant.
`
`
`
`DEFENDANT ROKU INC.’S MOTION TO STAY
`
`Defendant Roku, Inc. (“Roku”) respectfully moves to stay this action pending the
`
`conclusion of: (1) the following inter partes review proceedings (and any subsequent appellate
`
`proceedings) currently pending before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board: IPR2023-00628,
`
`IPR2023-00630, IPR2023-00891, IPR2024-01023, IPR2024-01024, IPR2024-01025, and
`
`IPR2024-01026, which relate to five of the seven asserted patents1; and (2) the conclusion of the
`
`appeal from IPR2022-01086 relating to the ’794 patent that is currently pending before the United
`
`States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Docket No. 2024-1890 (Fed. Cir.).2
`
`The grounds for this motion are set forth more fully in the accompanying Opening Brief
`
`and the materials and information cited therein.
`
`
`
`
`1 The Asserted Patents are: U.S. Patent Nos. 7,233,790 (the “’790 patent”), 7,440,559 (the “’559
`patent”), 7,769,238 (the “’238 patent”), 7,970,059 (the “’059 patent”), 8,291,236 (the “’236
`patent”), 8,605,794 (the “’794 patent”), and 8,667,304 (the “’304 patent”).
`
`2 On the same day Roku filed this motion, the Court issued stay orders in the co-pending Meta and
`Netflix cases, and set a teleconference for July 25, 2024 to discuss a stay in this case. Roku was in
`the process of finalizing its motion to stay papers when the Court issued its July 18 Orders. Roku
`respectfully submits this motion to assist the Court in understanding Roku’s position, and will be
`prepared to discuss its motion with the Court at the July 25 teleconference.
