`The First Amended Complaint speaks for itself. FastVDO admits that it
`
`owns the ‘O81 Patent and charges JVC with infringement of the ‘081 Patent.
`
`2.
`
`FastVDO admits that an actual controversy exists between FastVDO and
`
`JVC regarding the validity of the ‘O81 Patent and JVC’s infringement of the ‘O81 Patent,
`
`and that JVC seeks declaratory judgment. FastVDO denies the merits of JVC’s
`
`counterclaims and that JVC is entitled to its requested relief.
`
`3.
`
`Paragraph 3 does not require a response. To the extent that paragraph 3
`
`requires a response, FastVDO denies the merits of the defenses asserted by JVC and
`
`therefore denies the allegations made therein.
