`Case No. IPR2015-01566
`Request for Refund of Portion of Post Institution Fee
`
`
`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`I.
`
`Petitioner Fresenius Kabi USA LLC (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests a
`
`refund of $15,600, a portion of the post-institution fee initially paid for its Petition
`
`for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 8,129,432 (“the ’342 patent”), assigned case
`
`number IPR 2015-01566. Petitioner notes that this portion of the post-institution
`
`fee paid by Petitioner is in excess of the $14,000 fee that is appropriate in light of
`
`the Board’s granting of Petitioner’s and patent owner’s joint motion to limit the
`
`Petition.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`On July 7, 2015, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of claims
`
`1-54 of the ’342 patent under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.1-.80,
`
`24.100-.123 (“Petition,” Paper No. 2). This review has not yet been instituted.
`
`On September 1, 2015, Petitioner and patent owner jointly submitted a
`
`motion to limit the Inter Partes Review of the ’342 patent to claims 23 and 53 and
`
`to remove claims 1-22, 24-52, and 54 of the ’342 patent from consideration in the
`
`proceeding.
`
`On September 15, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board granted the joint
`
`motion to limit the instant proceeding to claims 23 and 53 of the ’342 patent and to
`
`remove claims 1-22, 24-52, and 54 of the ’342 patent from consideration in the
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2015-01566
`Request for Refund of Portion of Post Institution Fee
`
`
`proceeding (Paper No. 15). The Board noted that “a decision whether to institute
`
`trial has not yet been made.” (Id. at 3).
`
`Because no trial has been instituted and no trial will be instituted on claims
`
`1-22, 24-52, and 54 of the ’342 patent, Petitioner herby requests refund of $15,600,
`
`the portion of the post-institution fee it paid pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) for
`
`each claim of the ’342 patent in excess of 15 claims1. Payment of the post-
`
`institution fee was processed through PRPS on July 10, 2015, and charged to the
`
`undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 06-0923.
`
`III. CONCLUSION
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`that the Board credit $15,600 of the post-institution fee to Deposit Account No. 06-
`
`
`
`0923.
`
`
`1 Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15, Petitioner paid a total post-institution fee of $29,600 concurrently with filing the
`Petition as follows: $14,000 post institution fee plus $400 for each claim in excess of 15 claims = $14,000
`+($400)(39 claims) = $29,600.
