`Request for Refund
`
`
`Petitioner InnoPharma Licensing, LLC (“InnoPharma”) hereby requests a
`
`refund of $14,000. InnoPharma filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,466,139 on February 17, 2017, and paid the USPTO $23,000 on that date,
`
`including the $9,000 inter partes review request fee and the $14,000 post-institution
`
`fee.
`
`On August 30, 2017, the Board issued a decision denying institution of the
`
`inter partes review. Since this case was in the preliminary proceeding stage and no
`
`institution of a trial was made, InnoPharma is entitled to a refund of the $14,000 for
`
`the post-institution fee. See 78 FED. REG. 4,212, 4,234 (Jan. 18, 2013) (“[I]f the
`
`review is not instituted at all, the portion of the fee covering the trial would be
`
`returned”). InnoPharma therefore requests a refund of the $14,000 post-institution
`
`fee that it previously paid.
`
`The refund may be deposited in Wiley Rein LLP Deposit Account No. 50-
`
`1129, with reference to Attorney Docket No. 86850.0004.
