`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES

`
`Case No. IPR2016-00272
`Request for Refund
`
`On December 2, 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
`
`23, 25–30, 32, and 39–41 in U.S. Patent No. 7,104,347.
`
`In challenging these 10
`
`claims, Petitioner prepaid $14,000 for the post-institution fee. 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 $14,000 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 $14,000 be refunded to Deposit Account No. 02-4467.
