`
`The court denied defendant's motionto 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
`negotiations. Applying Rule 408to the facts of this case would prevent a patentee from
`establishing notice to the infringer ofwillful, induced, and contributory infringement. wee
`[Plaintiff's] Complaint does not violate the Agreement betweenthe Parties. ... The stated
`‘Purpose'is evaluating licenses or transactions.[Plaintiff] contends that [defendant] has not
`articulated why[plaintiff] providing [defendant] with noticeof[its] infringing conductfalls under
`the Purpose of the Agreement..... [Defendant's] own Motion to Strike and [related state]
`Complaint references the same communicationsthat[plaintiff] relies on in its Complaint."

`L 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 whoare within this Court's subpoena powerbut are not
`subject to NDCA's subpoena power. [Defendant] hasfailed to sufficiently establish any unwilling
`witnesses subject to NDCAcourt'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
`convenientfor 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 WOTX and NDCAhavedisposed of cases at comparable rates, recently this Court
`has proved more expeditious.. .
`. [Given that [defendant's] presence in both districts is neutral in
`termsoftransfer, but [plaintiff's] presence in WDTX weighs against transfer, the Court finds that
`the local-interest factor slightly weight against transfer."
