`
`
`
`IPR2017-00430 Request for Refund
`Patent 6,088,802
`
`Unified Patents Inc. (“Unified” or “Petitioner”) hereby files its request for a
`
`refund of the $23,600 post-institution fee that was previously paid.
`
`On December 14, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent 6,088,802 and paid the USPTO a total of $36,400 at the time of filing
`
`this petition, which included a $23,600 payment for the post-institution fee
`
`required by 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.15(a)(1)–(4). The filed inter partes review petition
`
`was granted a filing date on January 11, 2017. (Paper 6). The Board subsequently
`
`denied institution of inter partes review on July 5, 2017. (Paper 8). The Board
`
`terminated the proceeding before institution of the inter partes review. The
`
`Petitioner is entitled to request a refund of the post-institution fee that was
`
`previously paid and is entitled to this refund. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg. 4233 (Jan. 18,
`
`2013); PTAB E2E Frequently Asked Questions E7.
`
`For at least the reasons set forth above, Unified files its request for a refund
`
`of the post-institution fee that was previously paid and hereby requests a refund of
`
`the $23,600 post-institution fee previously paid by Unified.
`
`The refund may be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6990 under
`
`reference “IPR2017-00430 (6,088,802)”.
`
`Therefore, Unified respectfully requests a refund of the post-institution fee
`
`for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 6,088,802, IPR2017-00430.
