`2 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.
