`Patent 8,852,636
`
`Petitioner Coalition for Affordable Drugs VII LLC respectfully requests a
`
`
`
`refund of $15,200 of the post-institution fee that was previously paid for this
`
`proceeding.
`
`On August 7, 2015, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,852,636, challenging 18 claims of the ’636 Patent, and paid the
`
`USPTO a total fee of $24,200 for the petition, including:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`a $9,000 request fee required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1);
`
`a $14,000 post-institution fee required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2); and
`
`a $1,200 excess claims fee ($400 for each claim in excess of 15)
`
`required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4).
`
`On August 17, 2015, the Board issued a notice according the petition a filing
`
`date (Paper 4). The Patent Owner Preliminary Response was filed on
`
`November 17, 2015 (Paper 15). On February 11, 2016, the Board issued an
`
`Institution Decision, denying institution as to all 18 of the challenged claims
`
`(Paper 18).
`
`For petitions filed after March 19, 2013, in a situation where the Board
`
`decides not to institute a review, the petitioner is entitled to a refund of the portion
`
`of the fees that were allocated to the post-institution phase of the proceeding. See

`
`$15,200 ($14,000 + $1,200).
