`position on the proposed constructions for any of the Disputed Claim Terms. That said, Volkswagen Grp. of Am.,
`Inc. and Volkswagen Grp. of Am. Chattanooga Operations, LLC understand that they will be bound by any claim
`construction ruling set forth by the Court.
`2 Neo Wireless objects to the Volkswagen Defendants’ decision to take no position on any claim terms
`(contravening the parties’ agreed Discovery Plan, which Volkswagen signed). This is an attempt by the
`Volkswagen Defendants, in the IPRs that they alone filed, to adopt broad interpretations to support their invalidity
`positions; while accepting the benefit of the other Defendants’ narrow, incompatible interpretations in this Court to
`support their non-infringement positions. Neo is continuing to meet and confer with Volkswagen about this issue.
