`
`WHEREAS the Court lifted the stay in the above-captioned case with respect to claims
`
`related to all the patents in suit, excluding U.S. Patent No. 7,530,641 (the “’641 patent”), because
`
`1 In its Amended Complaint (D.I. 33), Wirtgen America withdrew allegations of infringement
`with respect to U.S. Patent Nos. 9,624,628 and 9,644,340.

`
`the “ITC’s handling of the other four patents at issue in the ITC proceeding [wa]s ‘no longer

`
`WHEREAS the time for filing any notice of appeal of the Commission’s modified orders
`
`has expired pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1337(c);
`
`WHEREAS Caterpillar did not file a notice of appeal of the Commission’s
`
`November 4, 2021 modified orders;
`

`
`above-captioned case with respect to claims related to the ’641 patent, which is the only
`
`remaining patent subject to the Court’s August 29, 2017 automatic stay order.
`
`NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby stipulated and agreed, subject to the Court’s approval,
`
`that the stay in the above-captioned case is lifted with respect to claims related to the ’641 patent.
