We broadly interpret the claim language to include allowing all users to create at least one event (i.e., one or more), or change at least one event. See KCJ Corp. v. Kinetic Concepts, Inc., 223 F.3d 1351, 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2000) ("[A]n indefinite article "a" or "an" in patent parlance carries the meaning of "one or more" in open-ended claims containing the transitional phrase "comprising."") (citations omitted). We do not interpret the claim language to require any two users to be able to create or change the same event.
