`
`
`
`Ranbaxy v. Jazz
`IPR2016-00738
`U.S. Pat. 9,050,302
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`Ranbaxy Inc. (“Ranbaxy”) request a refund in the amount of $20,400 to be paid to
`
`deposit account number 111410.
`
`On March 10, 2016, Ranbaxy filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,050,302 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2016-00738. In accordance with the fee schedule of
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1) and (a)(3) Ranbaxy deposited electronic payments in the
`
`amounts of $9,000 and $2,200, respectively. Thus, Ranbaxy deposited $11,200
`
`with the Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover fees associated with
`
`Ranbaxy’s inter partes review request. In accordance with the fee schedule of
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) and (a)(4), Ranbaxy deposited further electronic payments
`
`of $14,000 and $6,400, respectively. Thus, Ranbaxy deposited $20,400 with the
`
`Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover fees associated with
`
`post-institution proceedings.
`
`On May 23, 2016, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered Judgment
`
`terminating the inter partes review proceeding prior to institution. Ranbaxy
`
`requests a refund of the post-institution fees under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) and
