`
`CATERPILLAR INC.’S THIRD AMENDED INFRINGEMENT CONTENTIONS
`
`Defendant and Counterclaim-Plaintiff Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) hereby provides its
`
`Third Amended Infringement Contentions to Plaintiff and Counterclaim-Defendant Wirtgen
`
`America, Inc. (“Wirtgen America”) for U.S. Patent Nos. 7,523,995 (the “’995 Patent”) and

`
`Claim Chart(s)2
`Exhibit A (Slip Form Pavers)
`Exhibit B (Cold Planers)
`Exhibit C
`
`Caterpillar contends that Wirtgen America, either alone or in conjunction with others, has
`
`infringed and continues to infringe, directly and/or indirectly, at least the referenced claims of
`
`the Caterpillar Patents under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a)-(c), by making, using, selling, and/or offering
`
`1 Caterpillar reserves its right to appeal the Court’s summary judgment determination
`regarding U.S. Patent No. 9,371,618 and maintains its previous infringement contentions to the
`extent that the patent is remanded.
`
`2 The claim charts have been designated “Highly Confidential – Outside Attorneys’ Eyes
`Only” based on quotations from documents designated as such by Wirtgen America.
`Caterpillar takes no position on whether those documents were properly designated.

`
`for sale in the United States and/or importing into the United States the following “Accused
`
`Products”:
`
`
`
`’995 Patent: Wirtgen America’s paver machines and cold planer machines with
`
`pivoting track units, including, without limitation, model numbers identified in
`
`Exhibits A and B, to the extent made, used, sold, and/or offered for sale in the
`
`United States and/or imported into the United States since at least October 14,
`
`2015 (i.e., six years before the filing of Caterpillar’s Counterclaims on October
`
`14, 2021) infringe claims 45, 49, 54, 57, 60, and 63.
`
`
`
`’538 Patent: Wirtgen America’s cold planer machines having a multi-speed
`
`transmission, including, without limitation, model numbers identified in Exhibit
`
`C, to the extent made, used, sold, and/or offered for sale in the United States
`
`and/or imported into the United States since at least May 22, 2018 infringe claim
`
`13.
`
`Caterpillar’s Amended Infringement Contentions identify where each limitation of the
`
`asserted claims of the Caterpillar Patents is met with respect to each Accused Product. Where
`
`Caterpillar cites documents or other evidence in support of its infringement contentions,
`
`Caterpillar has identified exemplary evidence for each claim limitation and reserves its right to
`
`rely upon additional or alternative evidence as the case proceeds. Caterpillar has cited
`
`representative portions of identified references for the Accused Products even where a particular
`
`reference may contain additional examples of infringement for a claim element. Similarly,
`
`Caterpillar has identified examples of product testing where such testing may provide additional
`
`evidence of infringement. Where a claim element is implemented in the same or substantially
`
`the same way for each product of an Accused Product family, Caterpillar provides an exemplary

`
`illustration or description setting forth specifically where the limitation is found in the Accused
`
`Product, without necessarily repeating the same illustration or description for each version of
`
`each Accused Product in the family. To the extent Caterpillar’s infringement contentions do not
`
`cite support for each model, such an omission of evidence shall not be construed as an admission
`
`of non-infringement or a waiver of the right to rely on such evidence at a later date.
`
`Caterpillar contends that each element of each asserted claim is literally met with respect
`
`to each Accused Product unless otherwise indicated. But to the extent that any claim element is
`
`found not to be literally met with respect to the Accused Products, Caterpillar contends that the
`
`element is met under the doctrine of equivalents because there are no substantial differences
`
`between the element and the Accused Products, and the element and the Accused Products
`
`perform substantially the same function, in substantially the same way, to achieve substantially
`
`the same result.
`
`Caterpillar’s Amended Infringement Contentions are based upon information reasonably
`
`and presently available to Caterpillar through publicly available information and Wirtgen
`
`America’s production of documents to date. Caterpillar’s investigation is ongoing and discovery
`
`is not yet complete. For example, Wirtgen America’s document production remains deficient;
`
`Caterpillar still expects to review source code for the Accused Products, and inspect the Accused
`
`Products. Caterpillar reserves the right, consistent with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the
`
`Local Rules and Standing Orders of the District of Delaware, and the operative Scheduling Order,
`
`to amend its infringement contentions to assert additional claims, additional accused products,
`
`and update its infringement theories as additional evidence and information become available or
`
`as otherwise appropriate, such as after any supplemental claim construction has taken place

`
`reason as permitted by the Court.
