`
`The court denied defendant‘s motion to strike plaintiff's patent infringement complaint due to the
`parties' confidentiality agreement. "[Plaintiff's] complaint only references [its] notice to
`[defendant] and that the parties had subsequent conversations regarding such alleged
`infringements. [Plaintiff's] complaint does not disclose the information discussed during such
`negotlatlons. Applying Rule 408 to the facts of this case would prevent a patentee from
`establishing notice to the infringer of willful, induced, and contributory infringement. . ..
`[Plalntlff‘s] Complaint does not Violate the Agreement between the Parties... . The stated
`‘Purpose' is evaluating licenses or transactions. [Plaintiff] contends that [defendant] has not
`articulated why [plaintiff] providing [defendant] with notice of [its] infringing conduct falls under
`the Purpose of the Agreement..... [Defendant's] own Motion to Strike and [related state]
`Complaint references the same communications that [plaintiff] relies on in its Complaint."

`'- Public Interest Factors (Venue)
`
`The court denied defendant‘s motion to transfer venue from the Western District of Texas to the
`Northern District of California because the availability of compulsory process, witness
`convenience, practical problems, court congestion, and local interest weighed against transfer.
`"[Plaintiff] has established [plaintiff's IT vendor], while unlikely to testify at trial, and [its firmware
`developer] as unwilling witnesses who are within this Court‘s subpoena power but are not
`subject to NDCA's subpoena power. [Defendant] has failed to sufficiently establish any unwilling
`witnesses subject to NDCA court's subpoena power. .
`.
`. [T]he convenience of [defendant's] new
`Austin facility, along with its existing Austin facilities, greatly minimizes the time that [defendant's]
`employees are removed from their regular work responsibilities. .
`.
`. [T]his District would be more
`convenient for the six third-party inventor witnesses. .
`.
`. [T]here are co-pending proceedings that
`involve a majority of the same patents asserted against [defendant]. .
`.
`. While [defendant] claims
`historically WDTX and NDCA have disposed of cases at comparable rates, recently this Court
`has proved more expeditious. .
`.
`. [G]iven that [defendant's] presence in both districts is neutral in
`terms of transfer, but [plaintiff‘s] presence in WDTX weighs against transfer, the Court finds that
`the local-interest factor slightly weight against transfer."
