`Subject: Motion to Stay / Bifurcate / Reduction of Claims
`
`sophospsmartba nnere nd Ryan, Seth and Paul,
`
`Now that all the IPR institution decision have been made.
`
`We would like to meet and confer with you regard the filing a motion to
`stay/bifurcate the case with respect to the patents where the IPRs have been
`instituted. Namely:
`
`Wirtgen: ‘390, ‘391 and ‘972 Patents
`Caterpillar: ‘995 and ‘538 Patents
`
`We believe that staying the case with respect to these patents make sense for the
`parties and Court. Statistically, there is a strong likelihood that many of the
`asserted claims in these patents will be invalidated. It does not make sense for
`the parties or the Court to spend additional resources on these patents (after the
`completion of fact discovery).

`Case 1:17-cv-00770-JDW Document 428-2 Filed 06/28/24 Page 4 of 4 PageID #: 39046
`
`For example, it does not make sense for the parties to go the cost of filing
`opening, rebuttal and reply expert reports on these patents. It does not make
`sense for the Court to spend time on summary judgment motions and Daubert
`motions with respect to these patents.
`
`Additionally, staying the case with respect to these patents will result in a
`substantial reduction of claims and will make the case more manageable at trial.
`
`Please let me know when you are available to meet and confer.
