`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2016-00248
`Request for Refund
`
`On November 25, 2015, Petitioners Hyundai Motor America, Inc., Hyundai
`
`Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation and Kia Motors America,
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Petitioners”) filed a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) challenging claims
`
`80, 93, 94, 96, 99, 106–108, 113, 114, 127, 128, 132, 139–141, 146, 215, 229, and
`
`231 in U.S. Patent No. 7,237,634.
`
`In challenging these 20 claims, Petitioner
`
`prepaid $14,000 for the post-institution fee (for up to 15 claims) and $2,000 for the
`
`5 claims in excess of 15 ($400 for each excess claim). The parties settled their
`
`dispute and filed a joint motion to terminate this proceeding on December 22, 2015.
`
`See paper 11. The Board granted the motion and terminated this proceeding
`
`pursuant to its decision on January 7, 2016. This proceeding was terminated prior
`
`to institution of trial. See paper 13.
`
`Because the IPR petition was not instituted, Petitioner respectfully requests a
`
`refund of $16,000 for the post-institution fee that was prepaid. The filing fee was
`
`paid by Deposit Account No. 02-4467. Accordingly, Petitioner requests that the
`
`amount of $16,000 be refunded to Deposit Account No. 02-4467.
