`
`STATEMENT OF THE PRECISE RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioners Alkermes Pharma Ireland, Ltd. and Alkermes, Inc. (collectively,
`
`“Alkermes”) respectfully request a refund of $14,000, the post-institution fee
`
`initially paid for its Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 9,125,939 (“the
`
`’939 patent”), assigned case number IPR2017-00287.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`On November 17, 2016, Alkermes filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`claims 2, 6, 7 and 9 patent under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.1-.80,
`
`24.100-.123. On May 4, 2017, the Board denied institution.
`
`Because no trial has been instituted in this IPR, Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of $14,000, the post-institution fee paid pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2).
`
`Payment of the post-institution fee was processed through PTAB E2E on
`
`November 18, 2016, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No.
`
`506989. Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`that the Board credit $14,000 to Deposit Account No. 506989.
