`
`Case IPR2016-00626
`Patent No. 8,784,789
`Petitioner Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) requests a refund in the
`
`amount of $14,000 to be paid to Deposit Acct. No. 160605 (Customer ID No.

`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`On February 25, 2016, Mylan filed a Petition for inter partes review against
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,784, 789, proceeding IPR2016-00626. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Mylan deposited an electronic payment
`
`in the amount of $23,000 with the PTO at the time of filing its Petition. Mylan’s
`
`payment consisted of $9,000 in fees associated with Mylan’s inter partes review
`
`request, and a further $14,000 in Post-Institution fees.
`
`Mylan and Patent Owner Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ( “Senju”) entered
`
`into a settlement agreement that resolved all underlying disputes between the parties,
`
`including the inter partes review proceeding IPR2016-00626, against U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,784,789. Accordingly, on August 9, 2016, the parties jointly moved to
`
`terminate this proceeding pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74.
`
`On August 31, 2016, the Board entered a decision to terminate proceeding
`
`IPR2016-00626. Accordingly, Mylan requests a refund in the amount of $14,000
`
`for the Post-Institution fees.
