`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Scheduling Order and N.D. Cal. Patent L.R. 3-3, Defendant
`Roku, Inc. (“Roku” or “Defendant”) hereby provides notice of Defendant’s Initial
`Invalidity Contentions, including by reference the entirety of the exhibits hereto,
`for:
`
` Claims 1-6, 19, 22-25 of U.S. Patent No. 7,589,642 (“’642 Patent”),
`Claims 2-16 of U.S. Patent No. 8,004,389 (“’389 Patent”), and Claims 1-
`2, 4, and 7 of U.S. Patent No. 9,911,325 (“’325 Patent”) (collectively, the
`“Mui Patents”);
` Claims 1-3 and 5-8 of U.S. Patent No. 9,716,853 (“’853 Patent” or the
`“Arling Patent”);
` Claims 1-6 and 8 of U.S. Patent No. 7,782,309 (“’309 Patent”), Claims 1-
`5, 7, 14-16, 18, 20, 21, and 27-29 of U.S. Patent No. 7,821,504 (“’504
`Patent”), and Claims 1, 2, 4-10, 12-14, 16-17, 19, 21, 38-42, 45-47, 49,
`51, 52, 58, 69-76, 78, 79, 81, 83, and 84 of U.S. Patent No. 7,821,505

` Claims 10-12 of U.S. Patent No. 7,895,532 (“’532 Patent”) and Claims 1-
`4 of U.S. Patent No. 8,015,446 (“’446 Patent”) (collectively, the “Scott
`Patents”);
`(collectively “Asserted Claims”).
`As set forth in further detail below, Roku contends that each of the Asserted
`Claims is invalid under at least 35 U.S.C. §§ 101, 102, 103, and/or 112. Roku
`reserves the right to amend, modify and/or supplement these Initial Invalidity
`Contentions based on, among other things, amendments, modifications or
`supplements to Plaintiff’s infringement contentions, further investigation, fact or
`expert discovery and/or evaluation of the scope and content of the prior art,
`disclosure of the parties’ claim constructions, an order construing the Asserted
`Claim(s), or any other basis contemplated by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,

`
`
`the Court’s Local Rules, and any other applicable order entered by the Court.
`Roku’s Initial Invalidity Contentions are based on information reasonably
`available at this time with respect to the Asserted Claim(s), and are necessarily
`preliminary and may require subsequent amendment, modification, and/or
`supplementation. In particular, as Roku has explained to counsel for UEI, UEI’s
`infringement contentions are inadequate and fail to adequately apprise Roku of
`UEI’s infringement theories or where in the accused Roku products UEI alleges
`the limitations of the claims are found. Accordingly, these contentions may
`require amendment, modification and/or supplementation when UEI has provided
`additional information regarding its contentions. Moreover, fact discovery is
`ongoing and Roku has not obtained deposition testimony from any of the named
`inventors of the Asserted Patents or any third party. To date, Roku has not
`received from UEI a copy of any of the invalidity contentions served by any
`defendant in any prior case in which UEI has asserted any of the Asserted Patents.
`Accordingly, Roku incorporates by reference each such invalidity contention as if
`fully set forth herein. Roku’s investigation regarding the issues of infringement
`and validity is therefore ongoing. These disclosures are made without prejudice to
`Roku’ right to supplement or amend its contentions as additional facts are
`ascertained, analyses are made, research is completed, and/or claims are construed.
`Roku expects further discovery will reveal additional prior art, including related
`disclosures and corresponding evidence for many of the prior art references
`identified below. As such, Roku has not yet completed its investigation, discovery
`or analysis of matters relating to the infringement, validity, or enforceability of the
`Asserted Claim(s), including, without limitation, invalidity due to on-sale statutory
`bars, public use statutory bars or improper inventorship, or unenforceability due to
`inequitable conduct. The disclosures herein are not and should not be construed as
`a statement that no other persons have discoverable information, that no other

`
`documents, data compilations, and/or tangible things exist that Roku may use to
`support their claims or defenses, or that no other legal theories or factual bases will
`be pursued. Accordingly, Roku reserves the right to amend, modify and
`supplement these Initial Invalidity Contentions as additional information is
`discovered, identified or otherwise appreciated, including testimony about the
`Asserted Claims and the scope and content of the prior art.
`Roku’s Initial Invalidity Contentions should not be taken to mean that: (i)
`Roku agrees with Plaintiff’s bases for infringement; (ii) Roku agrees with Plaintiff
`regarding the scope of any of the Asserted Claims; (iii) Roku agrees with
`Plaintiff’s claim constructions advanced expressly or implicitly by Plaintiff’s
`Infringement Contentions or in any other pleading, discovery request or response,
`or written or verbal communication; (iv) Roku is precluded from propounding
`alternative claim constructions or requesting Plaintiff’s actual claim construction
`positions in the future; or that (v) Roku agrees or believes that the claims at issue
`are amenable to a meaningful construction or satisfy the requirements of 35 U.S.C.
`§ 112. Roku expressly reserves the right to propose and advocate for alternative
`constructions to those apparently advocated by Plaintiff. In addition, nothing in
`these Initial Invalidity Contentions shall be treated as an admission that any of
`Roku’s accused products meets any limitation of the Asserted Claims. Roku
`denies that the accused products infringe any claim of the Asserted Patents. To the
`extent that any prior art reference identified by Roku contains a claim element that
`is the same as or similar to an element in an accused product, based on a claim
`construction inferred from Plaintiff’s infringement contentions, inclusion of that
`reference in Roku’s Invalidity Contentions shall not be deemed a waiver by Roku
`of any claim construction or non-infringement position. Any use of these Initial
`Invalidity Contentions to support any allegation of infringement would be
`misleading, false and wrong as a matter of law and fact.

`
`
`
`Unless otherwise specified, the Invalidity Contentions set forth herein are in
`reliance on the alleged priority dates of the Asserted Patent(s) asserted by Plaintiff
`in its Infringement Contentions. To the extent Plaintiff asserts entitlement to a
`different priority date for prior art purposes, Roku reserves the right to amend these
`contentions. Further, nothing in these contentions constitutes an admission
`concerning the priority dates, conception date or reduction to practice of the
`Asserted Claims of the Asserted Patents.
`Roku reserves the right to amend these Initial Invalidity Contentions. The
`information and documents that Roku produce are provisional and subject to
`further revision as follows. Roku expressly reserve the right, consistent with the
`Patent Rules, local rules, and the Court’s orders, to amend these disclosures and
`the accompanying document production should Plaintiff provide any information
`that it failed to provide in its Infringement Contentions, or should Plaintiff amend
`its Infringement Contentions in any way. Further, because discovery (including
`discovery from third parties) is not complete, Roku reserves the right to, consistent
`with the Patent Rules, local rules, and the Court’s order, revise, amend, and/or
`supplement the information provided herein, including identifying and relying on
`additional prior art references, should Roku’s further search and analysis yield
`additional information or references. Moreover, Roku reserves the right to revise
`its ultimate contentions concerning the invalidity of the asserted claims, which may
`change, for example, depending upon the Court’s construction of the Asserted
`Claims, any findings as to the priority or invention date of the Asserted Claims,
`and/or positions that Plaintiff or its expert witness(es) may take concerning claim
`construction, infringement, and/or invalidity issues.
`Prior art not included in this disclosure, whether known or unknown to
`Roku, may become relevant. In particular, Roku is currently unaware of the extent,
`if any, to which Plaintiff will contend that limitations of the asserted claims are not

`disclosed in the prior art identified by Roku. To the extent that such an issue arises,
`Roku reserves the right to identify additional teachings in the same references or in
`other references that anticipate or would have made the addition of the allegedly
`missing limitation to the device or method obvious.
`Roku’s invalidity claim charts cite to particular teachings and disclosures of
`the prior art as applied to features of the Asserted Claims. However, persons
`having ordinary skill in the art may view an item of prior art generally in the
`context of other publications, literature, products, and understanding. Accordingly,
`the cited portions are only examples, and Roku reserves the right to rely on uncited
`portions of the prior art references and on other publications and expert testimony
`as aids in understanding and interpreting the cited portions, as providing context
`thereto, and as additional evidence that a claim limitation is known or disclosed.
`Roku further reserves the right to rely on uncited portions of the prior art
`references, other publications, and testimony to establish bases for combinations of
`certain cited references that render the asserted claims obvious. Further, the
`references discussed in the claim charts or elsewhere identified, may disclose the
`elements of the asserted claims explicitly and/or inherently, and/or they may be
`relied upon to show the state of the art in the relevant timeframe. The suggested
`obviousness combinations are provided in the alternative to Roku’s anticipation
`contentions and are not to be construed to suggest that any reference included in
`the combinations is not itself anticipatory.
`Roku has identified exemplary portions of the references disclosing the
`claimed limitations. The references, however, may contain additional support for
`particular claim limitations. Roku expressly reserves the right to rely on uncited
`portions of the prior art references, other documents, and expert testimony to
`provide context or to aid in the understanding of the cited portions of the
`references. Where Roku cites to a particular figure in a reference, the citation

`
`should be understood to encompass the caption and description of the figure and
`any text relating to or discussing the figure. Where Roku cites to particular text
`referring to a figure, the citation should be understood to include the referenced
`figure as well.
`The combinations of references provided herein and the attached claim
`charts demonstrate the anticipation and obviousness of the Asserted Claims
`pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §§ 102, 103, but are exemplary and are not meant or
`intended to be exhaustive. The cited references may be combined and modified in
`a number of ways to meet the limitations recited in the Asserted Claims. Roku is
`not aware of how Plaintiff may attempt to distinguish the prior art cited herein, and
`Roku reserves the right to identify other references that would have supplied the
`allegedly missing elements to render the Asserted Claims obvious or to negate
`alleged evidence of secondary indicia of nonobviousness. Plaintiff has not
`identified what limitations of the Asserted Claims it alleges were not known to one
`skilled in the art at the time of the alleged inventions recited in the Asserted
`Claims. For any claim limitation that Plaintiff alleges is not disclosed in a prior art
`reference, Roku reserves the right to assert that such limitation is either inherent in
`the reference or obvious to one skilled in the art in light of the same, or that the
`limitation is disclosed in one or more prior art references and in combination
`would have rendered the Asserted Claims obvious. The suggested obviousness
`combinations are in the alternative to Roku’s Invalidity Contentions based on
`anticipation. The obviousness contentions set forth herein should not be construed
`to suggest that any reference is not anticipatory by itself, as anticipation is the
`epitome of obviousness.
`Roku reserves the right to rely upon any related patents and patent
`applications, foreign patent counterparts and foreign patent applications of U.S.
`patents or applications identified in these Initial Invalidity Contentions, U.S.

`counterparts of foreign patents or foreign patent applications identified in these
`Initial Invalidity Contentions, or U.S. and foreign patents or applications
`corresponding to articles and publications identified in these Initial Invalidity
`Contentions. For prior art patents and publications identified in these Initial
`Invalidity Contentions, Roku reserves the right to rely on the public use, offer for
`sale and/or sale of the products described in those prior art patents or publications
`once Roku has had an opportunity to take discovery on these subjects.
`Moreover, prior art not included in these Initial Invalidity Contentions may
`become relevant depending upon the positions Plaintiff asserts (e.g., the
`infringement or claim construction positions asserted by Plaintiff), the claim
`constructions adopted by the Court, and the priority dates given the Asserted
`Patents. In addition, discovery is ongoing and Roku has not had the opportunity to
`complete discovery in the present action. As a result, Roku may uncover
`additional prior art and/or relevant information. Roku reserves the right to
`supplement, modify or amend these Initial Invalidity Contentions with additional
`prior art, or different versions of the references listed herein, as discovery
`continues in light of information provided by Plaintiff concerning its infringement
`allegations, claim constructions, or priority dates of the Asserted Patents, or in light
`of the Court’s claim construction or other rulings and orders, consistent with the
`Patent Rules, the local rules, and the Court’s orders. Roku reserves the right to
`assert invalidity under 35 U.S.C. §§ 115, 116, 119, 120, 132, or any other ground
`of invalidity or unenforceability whose disclosure is not required under the Patent
`Rules.
