`
`NEW BAY CAPITAL’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-
`INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4211, 4233-4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`New Bay Capital, LLC (“New Bay”) requests a refund in the amount of $14,000 to
`
`be paid to deposit account number 19-4972.
`
`On June 23, 2013, New Bay filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review with the
`
`PTO that was assigned case number IPR2013-00376. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a), New Bay paid to the PTO $23,000 at
`
`the time of filing its Petition to cover associated fees. New Bay’s payment
`
`consisted of $9000 for the inter partes review request fee and a further $14,000 in
`
`post-institution fees.
`
` On November 12, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered
`
`judgment terminating the IPR2013-00376 proceeding prior to institution.
`
`Accordingly, New Bay requests refund of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that
`
`it has paid to the USPTO in connection with that proceeding.
`
`
`
`Dated: November 13, 2013 Respectfully submitted,
