`

`Defendants
`
`
`1 The Court construed the identical term “gateway” to mean “a device that connects networks
`and can adjust a protocol of traffic moving between the networks” in the Claim Construction Or-
`der issued on June 3, 2022, in VoIP-Pal.com, Inc. v. Amazon.com, Inc., et al., No. 6:21-cv-
`00668-ADA, Dkt. No. 67 (W.D. Tex.). While the parties maintain the assertion of their pro-
`posed constructions, the parties agree that they will not argue this term at the claim construction
`hearing if the Court preliminarily adopts the same construction as in the other matter.
