`
`
`
`Case 1:17-cv-00770-JDW Document 223 Filed 10/05/23 Page 2 of 2 PageID #: 18293
`
`I submit this declaration on behalf of Defendant and Counterclaim-Plaintiff
`
`Caterpillar Inc. ("Caterpillar"). On May 19, 2023, I submitted an expert report
`
`("Reed Report 1 ") in this matter that analyzed the amount of damages sustained by
`I
`Caterpillar as a result of the infringement of Caterpillar's U.S. Patent No. 9,371 ,618
`
`(the '"618 patent") by Plaintiff and Counterclaim-Defendant Wirtgen America , Inc.
`
`("Wirtgen America ").
`
`On June 16, 2023, I submitted a rebuttal expert ("Reed Report 2") report in
`
`this matter assessing the appropriate amount of damages adequate to compensate
`
`Wirtgen America for alleged infringement of its asserted patents, in the event
`
`liability is established.
`
`On June 16, 2023 , I also submitted an expert report addressing the
`
`commercial success of four-segment, electrically switchable, sectional water spray
`
`bar functionality accused of infringing Caterpillar's '618 patent ("Reed Report 3").
`
`On July 7, 2023, I submitted a reply expert report ("Reed Report 4") that
`
`responds to certain opinions and statements made by Dr. Seth regarding the
`
`damages approach presented in Reed Report 1.
`
`I declare under the penalty of perjury that Reed Reports 1 through 4 are true
`
`and correct.
