`Re: Wirtgen America, Inc. v. Caterpillar Inc.
`Case No. 17-770-JDW
`
`Dear Judge Wolson:
`
`Pursuant to Your Honor’s January 26, 2023 Order, this letter jointly sets forth the status
`of certain discovery issues raised with the Court at the January 25, 2023 Markman hearing.
`
`First, on February 7, 2023, Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies LLC (“CTCT”)
`provided a letter listing the documents which were already produced by Caterpillar and are
`responsive to the subpoena served on CTCT. However, the parties have not yet reached a
`resolution on the issue of CTCT documents previously produced in the ITC Investigation bearing
`a CTCT production number. Wirtgen continues to request that CTCT reproduce this specific
`category of documents or otherwise expressly authorize their use, subject to the Court’s
`protective order, in this matter. CTCT has not yet agreed to this request, but is investigating the
`production ranges Wirtgen America identified on February 8 and expects to be able to provide its
`agreement before Friday’s status conference with the Court.
`
`Second, the parties have agreed to reduce the number of asserted claims to eight claims
`per patent. The parties will identify the reduced set of claims for their respective asserted patents
`by March 2. The parties will work toward narrowing the number of asserted claims further after
`the Court issues its order on claim construction.
`
`Should Your Honor have any questions regarding the foregoing, counsel are available at
`the Court’s convenience.
