`CATERPILLAR INC.’S CROSS-MOTION FOR JUDGMENT ON THE PLEADINGS ON
`WIRTGEN’S FOURTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (PATENT INELIGIBILITY)
`
`Defendant and Counterclaim-Plaintiff Caterpillar, Inc. (“Caterpillar”) respectfully cross-
`

`
`Inc.’s (“Wirtgen’s”) Fourth Affirmative Defense (D.I. 68 at 11) of Invalidity as to U.S. Patent No.
`
`9,975,538 (“the ’538 Patent”) under 35 U.S.C. § 101. Specifically, Wirtgen cannot show that
`

`The bases for Caterpillar’s Cross-Motion are set forth in the accompanying Combined
`
`Memorandum of Points and Authorities.
