`channel. When someone launches a channel, that counts as one visit (this
`is sometimes called a session, as in web analytics). Duration does not
`factor into visit counts. Starting a channel and immediately exiting would
`still count as one visit.
`
` A
`
` stream is counted every time a stream is opened (i.e. a user presses
`play). If a user stops and starts a title multiple times, that will be counted
`as multiple streams. Multiple streams can be associated with the same
`title but multiple title cannot be associated with the same stream.
`
`The number of streams can be expected to be higher in channels with
`shorter form content, such as 1-5 minute user-generated videos, than in
`channels with longer form content, such as feature length films.
`
`Streams can generally be expected to exceed visits. If visits exceeds
`streams, that would indicate account holders are starting your channel,
`then exiting without ever streaming any
`content.https://developer.roku.com/docs/features/analytics/viewership-

`“Audience Insights report
`The Audience Insights report tells publishers about the demographics of
`their channel audiences using first-party data.
`
`The interests and preferences revealed in the Audience Insights
`dashboard can help channel owners with content management and
`product planning. For example, if a content manager sees growing
`activity within their channel among college-educated individuals aged
`between 30 and 44 years who also spend a large amount of their time
`streaming in news and comedy channels, she may choose to start
`programming her channel with more political satire.

`For channels that monetize with video advertisements, the Audience
`Insights report can also be used as an ad sales enablement tool. Consider
`an ad sales manager who sees that 40% of the viewers of his channel are
`young men aged between 25 and 34 years with an average income
`between $175-250,000 a year who also spend time streaming in sports
`and fitness channels. He would be wise to sell ad placements in his
`channel to high-end sports apparel brands.
`
` A
`
` channel audience is defined as all of the active users for given channel,
`and an active user is any account that has streamed content for greater
`than zero seconds in the past 30 days in that channel.”

`“However Roku doesn’t sell most of the ads that run on its platform;
`most of it is sold by the publishers on the platform, said Roku gm of
`platform Scott Rosenberg on the earnings call.
`
`Enabling publishers to control ad sales on their channels has helped Roku
`to win favor with media companies, especially as more launch their own
`OTT apps. In June the company debuted Roku Audience Marketplace, a
`program for publishers to sell ads in their Roku channels that can be
`targeted using Roku’s first-party data and ad tech. And Roku has played
`a supporting role by selling ads for smaller publishers’ channels and
`splitting that revenue and striking deals with larger publishers to sell
`some of their inventory or to fill their unsold inventory.”

`title but multiple title cannot be associated with the same stream.
`
`The number of streams can be expected to be higher in channels with
`shorter form content, such as 1-5 minute user-generated videos, than in
`channels with longer form content, such as feature length films.
`
`Streams can generally be expected to exceed visits. If visits exceeds
`streams, that would indicate account holders are starting your channel,
`then exiting without ever streaming any
`content.https://developer.roku.com/docs/features/analytics/viewership-

`
`“Audience Insights report
`The Audience Insights report tells publishers about the demographics of
`their channel audiences using first-party data.
`
`The interests and preferences revealed in the Audience Insights
`dashboard can help channel owners with content management and
`product planning. For example, if a content manager sees growing
`activity within their channel among college-educated individuals aged
`between 30 and 44 years who also spend a large amount of their time
`streaming in news and comedy channels, she may choose to start
`programming her channel with more political satire.

`
`Evidence of Infringement
`For channels that monetize with video advertisements, the Audience
`Insights report can also be used as an ad sales enablement tool. Consider
`an ad sales manager who sees that 40% of the viewers of his channel are
`young men aged between 25 and 34 years with an average income
`between $175-250,000 a year who also spend time streaming in sports
`and fitness channels. He would be wise to sell ad placements in his
`channel to high-end sports apparel brands.
`
` A
`
` channel audience is defined as all of the active users for given channel,
`and an active user is any account that has streamed content for greater
`than zero seconds in the past 30 days in that channel.”
