`Case IPR2017-00442
`U.S. Patent No. 8,573,374
`
`Petitioners, Valeo North America, Inc. and Valeo Embrayages
`
`
`
`(“Petitioners”) request a refund of post-institution fees in the amount of $14,000.00
`
`to be paid to deposit account number 15-0030.
`
`On December 7, 2016, Petitioners filed a Petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,573,374. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioners
`
`deposited $23,000.00 with the USPTO at the time of filing the Petition to cover
`
`associated fees. Petitioners’ payment consisted of $9,000.00 in fees associated
`
`with the request for inter partes review, and a further $14,000.00 in post-institution
`
`fees.
`
`On June 26, 2017, the Board issued an Order denying institution of inter
`
`partes review. (Paper 13) 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 15-0030.
