`
`
`Petitioner Nu Mark LLC (“Petitioner”) requests a refund of post-institution
`
`
`
`
`
`fees in the amount of $14,000.00.
`
`
`
`On June 28, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,365,742. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited
`
`$23,000.00 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the time of
`
`filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioner’s payment consisted of
`
`$9,000.00 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes review, $14,000.00 in
`
`post-institution fees.
`
`
`
`On January 3, 2017, a Joint Motion to Terminate the Proceeding was filed
`
`(Paper 9). On January 4, 2017, the Board granted the Joint Motion and terminated
`
`the proceeding. Inter Partes review was thus not instituted. Accordingly,
`
`Petitioner requests a refund of the post-institution fees paid to the USPTO in
`
`connection with this proceeding, totaling $14,000.00, to be paid to deposit account
`
`number 506499.
