Atlantic Equities analyst Hamilton Faber initiated coverage of Roku Inc
ROKU
https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/22/01/24902336/atlantic-equities-sees-considerable-downside-in-roku-read-why
with an Underweight rating and a $136 price target. The price target implies a 39% downside.
The U.S. has led the company's growth through the provision of the company's operating system to tier two and three TV manufacturers, Faber tells investors in a research note.
However, the analyst sees this growth slowing as he does not expect the largest TV makers to outsource to Roku.
In addition, the company's progress in international markets has been slow and will compensate for the U.S. slowdown, contends Faber.
Roku pioneered streaming to the TV. It connects users to the streaming content they love, enables content publishers to build and monetize large audiences, and provides advertisers with unique capabilities to engage consumers.
Price Action: ROKU shares traded lower by 4.19% at $213.50 premarket on the last check Wednesday.
When you factor in Damages and Punitive Damages ...
in all honesty they might as well make a legitimate buy out offer of UEIC and they can rebrand the whole thing Rok-Universal smart home ROKU needs to expand on the one trick albeit it has been executed well to date ( they cannot afford disruption not with all the highly aggressive completion ) this would provide an excellent opportunity for expansion and diversification to compliment what's already been accomplished ....

ROKU LOST
Anthony J. Wood the founder, chairman, and CEO of Roku, Inc.
holds smallest position in Roku and only ever sells shares what does that say about his conviction ....
Cathy woods of the ARKK is smart she has made alot of great calls but I thinks she is in deep (OPM) and Anthony has duped even the best not to say ROKU can't come out of the other side but in the short and medium term they have not addressed the headwinds by no means also SITOMoblie is seeking compensation as well
Roku Slips After Universal Electronics Claims Win in Patent Case
Wed, December 15, 2021, 3:17 AM·1 min read

By Dhirendra Tripathi
Investing.com – Roku stock (NASDAQ:ROKU) plunged 8% Wednesday after Universal Electronics claimed victory in a patent infringement case it was pursuing against the maker of remotes and streaming devices.
Universal Electronics shares (NASDAQ:UEIC) rose 5%.
According to Universal, the United States International Trade Commission has banned Roku from importing infringing “televisions, set top boxes, remote control devices, streaming devices and sound bars.”
Roku is allowed to import items provided they don’t infringe on Universal’s patents, according to the order. Universal makes remotes compatible with a range of electronics.
The order, issued Dec. 3, will become final on Jan. 9. Until then, President Joe Biden has time to review the order and even overturn it.
The ITC hears disputes about imported goods that infringe on U.S. patents or imports that hurt the domestic industry because of unfair trade practices in the exporting country.
Universal filed the complaint last year against Roku and TV-makers TCL and Hisense at the ITC for infringing several patents. The case was later narrowed to include only Roku.
Universal is also pursuing cases against Roku in the district court in central California.
“the Commission may affirm, reverse, modify, set aside or
remand for further proceedings, in whole or in part, the initial determination of the administrative
law judge.”
CONCLUSION
For the reasons set forth herein and in the ID, the Commission determines that UEI has established a violation of Section 337 by Roku with respect to claims 1, 3, 11, and 13-15 of the '196 patent. The investigation is hereby terminated with a finding of a violation of Section 337. The Commission determines that the appropriate remedy is a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order. The Commission further finds that the public interest does not preclude issuance of a remedy, and it sets a bond of zero (0) percent applicable to imports during the Presidential review period.
By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton
Secretary to the Commission
Issued: December 3, 2021

UEIC vs ROKU
The ITC’s opinion made clear that Roku’s products infringe six different claims of UEI’s U.S. Patent No. 10,593,196 and rejected Roku’s plea to avoid the ITC ban. Referring to UEI’s evidence as "substantial," "impressive" and "dispositive," the Commission issued a limited exclusion order precluding Roku from importing any infringing "televisions, set top boxes, remote control devices, streaming devices and sound bars."
"Importantly, the Commission made clear that Roku would need to certify to Customs, at Customs’ discretion, that the products Roku wants to import are not infringing and therefore not excluded from entry. We do not believe Roku can meet this burden, and beginning January 9, 2022, any of Roku’s infringing products will be subject to exclusion from importation," Mr. Firehammer said.
The Commission’s ban on Roku imports and sales is an important step in the process of preventing Roku from continuing its unlawful use of UEI technology. Even now, we believe that Roku continues to infringe the very patent it was found to infringe despite its attempts to ‘design around’ its infringement with recent software updates. These updates coincide with degraded Roku product performance, as evidenced by recent media reports and consumer outcry. We look forward to working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to ensure the Commission’s orders banning imports of infringing Roku products are appropriately enforced. UEI will continue to take all actions necessary to put an end to Roku’s unlawful activities."

I read the whole thing inside out several times does not read well for defendant if you can provide more clarity or insight please do explain ty
I Am Not A Happy Camper...
<< how much cash will bleed from ROKU for settlement of UEIC patent infringement $1- $2 $5B ?? and class action that is almost certain to manifest >>
No cash "will bleed". The issue had to do with old remotes (that are no longer sold). The new remotes don't have that issue. The issue is insignificant and is only being "pumped" by shorters (to try and drag the price down).
Class Action Filings? what did CEO Woods Know? and when did he know it?
how much cash will bleed from ROKU for settlement of UEIC patent infringement $1- $2 $5B ?? and class action that is almost certain to manifest
I will say again love the product but the stock and stock performance that a whole other ball of wax ... Truly Disappointed Anthony I really believed I did ...
CEO only ever sold shares he owns very little ??
he knew he was infringing patents that the ITC just confirmed what did he know when did he know it I predict his departure before getting canned !
Down graded as high risk even at these levels.
<< ROKU without the O/S is DEAD the only way to survive this is to either merge with UEIC or Buy UEIC out right maybe 2-5B >>
Today's news has nothing to do with the O/S.
It had to do with old remotes. As such, it is rather insignificant (although it provided an opportunity for shorts to make some money).
"An ITC judge found in July that some older remotes infringe a patent used to control devices using Wi-Fi, HDMI and Bluetooth, though that was revised out of Roku remotes."

ROKU without the O/S is DEAD the only way to survive this is to either merge with UEIC or Buy UEIC out right maybe 2-5B
ROKU as a stand alone app will not fair well IMO!
VERY DISAPOINTED Roku always wondered why CEO never had or build his ownership in Roku he's always been a seller
I own and Love the ROKU product but as a stock their success squarely relies on the O/S
International Trade Commission Bans Import and Sale of Roku Products

Ruling Covers Roku Streaming Devices, Soundbars and Other Products Infringing UEI Patent
Universal Electronics Inc. (“UEI”) (NASDAQ: UEIC), the global leader in wireless universal control solutions for home entertainment and smart home devices, today announced that the United States International Trade Commission (“ITC” or the “Commission”) publicly issued its favorable final determination in UEI’s patent infringement case against Roku, Inc. (“Roku”), concluding several Roku products infringe a UEI patent and barring the importation and sale of those products. The orders will become final on January 9, 2022, following the expiration of a Presidential review period.
“We brought this action to protect our highly innovative intellectual property from unauthorized use by Roku, and we are gratified that the ITC recognized Roku’s infringement and ordered it halted,” said Richard A. Firehammer, Jr. UEI’s SVP & General Counsel. “Now that the full Commission opinion is publicly available, UEI’s clear and decisive victory is plain for all to see. The Commission’s ban on Roku imports and sales is an important step in the process of preventing Roku from continuing its unlawful use of UEI technology. Even now, we believe that Roku continues to infringe the very patent it was found to infringe despite its attempts to ‘design around’ its infringement with recent software updates. These updates coincide with degraded Roku product performance, as evidenced by recent media reports and consumer outcry. We look forward to working with U.S. Customs and Border Protection to ensure the Commission’s orders banning imports of infringing Roku products are appropriately enforced. UEI will continue to take all actions necessary to put an end to Roku’s unlawful activities.”
The ITC’s opinion made clear that Roku’s products infringe six different claims of UEI’s U.S. Patent No. 10,593,196 and rejected Roku’s plea to avoid the ITC ban. Referring to UEI’s evidence as “substantial,” “impressive” and “dispositive,” the Commission issued a limited exclusion order precluding Roku from importing any infringing “televisions, set top boxes, remote control devices, streaming devices and sound bars.”
“Importantly, the Commission made clear that Roku would need to certify to Customs, at Customs’ discretion, that the products Roku wants to import are not infringing and therefore not excluded from entry. We do not believe Roku can meet this burden, and beginning January 9, 2022, any of Roku’s infringing products will be subject to exclusion from importation,” Mr. Firehammer said.
A copy of the ITC’s Final Determination is available in its entirety here. UEI also brought patent infringement cases against Roku in U.S. District Court for the District of Central California. Those cases (Case Nos.: 8:18-cv-01580 and 8-20-cv-00701) allege infringement of fourteen UEI patents across both cases and are currently stayed pending the final resolution of Roku’s Inter Partes Review (IPR) challenges filed against UEI’s patents and pending final resolution of the ITC investigation, including any appeals of the IPRs and of the ITC investigation. In the District Court cases, UEI contends that Roku began copying UEI’s intellectual property without permission or payment after engaging with UEI and gaining access to details related to UEI’s proprietary technology under a confidentiality agreement entered into years ago.

QuickSet Cloud is built on UEI’s comprehensive device knowledge base and enables automated device discovery, setup and control of home entertainment and smart home devices and services.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an interview with Capital Market Laboratories (CMLviz), Chief Financial Officer of Roku Steve Louden had clear messages:
1. With regard to Apple, Amazon, and Google: “They all are optimizing their mobile ecosystem, not the TV ecosystem. And as a result, it's still cheaper to build a Roku TV because we have the only purpose-built operating system for TV.”
2. The company sees more advertising dollars coming over to Roku from traditional TV.
3. Further, the company is seeing its total addressable market expand.
There is increasing evidence that digital first advertisers are moving over to Roku as well. These advertisers, that have been focused on performance-oriented marketing as well as social media spend, including small/medium sized businesses, are moving over to Roku and they’re leveraging its One View platform. That type of performance-oriented spend on the OneView platform nearly tripled for the quarter.
In a far-ranging interview with the CFO, we discussed the future of the business and streaming video.

Lingerie Fighting Championships Coming Soon To Roku
July 23, 2021 09:00 ET
| Source: Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc.
Las Vegas, NV , July 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lingerie Fighting Championships, Inc. (“LFC”) (OTC Pink: BOTY) announced today they have partnered with Scuffle LLC to launch a Roku channel called LFC Network. The channel will carry LFC events as well as a slate of original programming designed to spotlight LFC’s talented cast.
“Having our own channel has been a goal of mine for a long time,” CEO Shaun Donnelly says. “But I knew we needed to reach a certain threshold of content first.”
With 6 events scheduled for 2021 – the most the league has ever done – and the LFC: Exposed! Reality series reaching the 100 episode milestone, Donnelly felt the time was right. And coincidentally he had just been contacted by a LFC shareholder who happened to specialize in creating channels for Roku.
“As a Roku programmer, I felt Roku was the perfect platform to introduce LFC to an even larger audience,” says Gavin Giles, president of Scuffle. “So I pitched the idea and after a few conversations with Shaun I realized we had the same vision for the channel.”
Giles, who has launched two successful Roku channels previously, hopes to have the LFC Network broadcasting as early as August 12. That date is significant as Donnelly and the rest of LFC will be at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally for the first of three events at the legendary Sturgis Buffalo Chip. All three events will be streamed live at www.lingeriefc.com and then added to LFC Network 30 days later.
“We want to give our fans as many options to consume our content as possible,” Donnelly says. “Roku will be a big part of that.”
While LFC events will be the cornerstone of the new channel, it will be the original programming that really makes LFC Network unique. Donnelly and the fighters have already begun working on shows ranging from a cooking show to a talk show to a scripted comedy in the style of GLOW. The LFC Podcast, which also celebrated 100 episodes recently, will be adopting a new video format so that upcoming episodes can appear on the channel.
“We have some really exciting show ideas planned so stay tuned,” Donnelly says, adding, “I can finally say ‘stay tuned’ and mean it!”
About Lingerie Fighting Championships Inc.
Lingerie Fighting Championships Inc. is a sports entertainment company focused on producing unique mixed events for live audiences and television viewers featuring attractive & athletic female fighters.
