`Roku denies that this District is the venue most convenient for the parties and

`President, Product Engineering and Operation and that he “oversees product engineering and

`states the following: “Technical work for Roku’s advertising business occurs at Roku’s San Jose,
`
`CA, New York, NY, Boston, MA, Austin, TX, and Cardiff, United Kingdom offices. But there
`
`are only a few technical employees who do advertising work out of Roku’s Austin, TX and

`
`

`

`Case 6:21-cv-01296-ADA-DTG Document 18 Filed 02/17/22 Page 4 of 53
`
`Cardiff, UK offices relative to the much larger number of advertising employees in Roku’s San
`
`Jose, CA and Boston, MA offices. Those few employees in Roku’s Austin, TX office (less than
`
`10) focus on overall advertising performance and do not do any direct development of the
`
`OneView Ad platform. Rather, the majority of engineers in Roku’s Austin, TX office focus on
`
`the Roku operating system, hardware, and embedded software development that is not related to
`
`advertising. I am not aware of any Roku Austin, TX employees who have specialized
`
`knowledge of the OneView Ad platform.” Roku denies any remaining allegations in paragraph
`
`13 of the complaint, including any allegations of infringement.
`
`14.
`
`Roku admits that
`
`https://www.roku.com/jobs/listing?location=Austin%2C%20Texas is a Roku website that lists

`
`RESPONSE TO “BACKGROUND”
`
`15.

`
`truth of the allegations of paragraph 15 of the Complaint, and therefore denies the same.
`
`16.
`
`Roku denies the allegations of paragraph 16 of the Complaint. Further, as noted
`
`below, on information and belief, U.S. Patent Nos. 10,447,819 and 10,972,584 (“Asserted
`
`Patents”) are invalid for failing to name inventors other than Scott McNulty.
`
`RESPONSE TO “THE IOENGINE PATENTS-IN-SUIT”
`
`17.
`
`Roku admits that the face of U.S. Patent No. 10,447,819 lists the issue date as
`
`October 15, 2019, the title as “Apparatus, Method and System for a Tunneling Client Access
`
`Point,” an application number as 15/712,780, and purports to be a continuation of continuation of

`
`on March 23, 2004 and issued as U.S. Patent No. 7,861,006. Roku denies that the ’584 patent
`
`was duly and legally issued and is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief
`
`as to the truth of the remaining allegations of paragraph 18 of the Complaint, and therefore
