`personal jurisdiction over it and that venue is improper in this case, and instead avers that it has
`been improperly named in this suit. Apple, Facebook, and WhatsApp have filed motions seeking
`a change of venue. Defendants also reserve all rights to challenge venue, as appropriate, based
`on the outcome of TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC, Case No. 16-341 (S.

`EXHIBIT A — Joint Claim Construction Chart
`
`There are five patents in suit, US. Patent Nos. 7,535,890 (“the ’890 patent”); 8,199,747 (“the ’747 patent”); 8,243,723 (“the
`
`’723 patent”); 8,724,622 (“the ’622 patent”); and 8,995,433 (“the ’433 patent”).1 The parties have yet to reach agreement as to the
`
`construction of the following claim terms, phrases and clauses recited in one or more of the patents-in-suit:

`l Uniloc has not asserted infringement of every patent against every defendant. Similarly, as to a given patent, not every claim is
`asserted against every defendant accused of infringing that patent. As such, only those defendants who are currently accused of
`infringement of a given claim propose construction of a term within that claim. The remaining defendants reserve their right to
`address those claims at the appropriate time, should they subsequently be accused of infringement
