`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR REFUND

`
`
`
`
`
`Lupin v. iCeutica Pty Ltd
`IPR2016-00399
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioners
`
`Lupin Limited and Lupin Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Lupin”) request a refund in the
`
`amount of $17,600 to be paid to deposit account number 111410.
`
`On December 28, 2015, Lupin filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,017,721 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2016-00397. In accordance with the fee schedule of
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1) and (a)(3) Lupin deposited electronic payments in the
`
`amounts of $9,000 and $800, respectively. Thus, Lupin deposited $9,800 with the
`
`Board at the time of filing of their Petition to cover fees associated with Lupin’s
`
`inter partes review request. In accordance with the fee schedule of 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a)(2) and (a)(4), Lupin deposited further electronic payments of $14,000
`
`and $3,600, respectively. Thus, Lupin deposited $17,600 with the Board at the
`
`time of filing of their Petition to cover fees associated with post-institution
`
`proceedings.
`
`On June 29, 2016, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered Judgment
`
`terminating the inter partes review proceeding prior to institution. Lupin requests a
`
`refund of the post-institution fees under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) and (a)(4), in the
`
`amount of $17,600, paid to the USPTO in connection with this matter.
