`PersonalWeb and Defendants present their proposed constructions for each disputed term, together with an identification of all

`U.S. Patent No. 5,978,791 (“the ’791 patent), the first patent to issue from the patent family of the asserted patents. Although the ’791
`patent is no longer asserted, the parties cite to the ’791 patent because its specification is identical to the specifications of the asserted
`patents and because the Court cited to the ’791 patent specification when previously construing terms from the asserted patents. (See
