Roku Inc (ROKU)

[deet49]

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."
