`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner,
`
`Initiative for Medicines, Access & Knowledge (I-MAK), Inc., requests a refund in
`
`the amount of $22,800 to be credited to Deposit Account Number 601986.
`
`
`
`On December 26, 2017, Petitioner filed its Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`in this matter. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the amount of $12,400 with
`
`the Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover associated fees with
`
`Petitioner’s inter partes review request, and a further $22,800 in Post-Institution
`
`fees.
`
`
`
`On July 19, 2018, the Board entered a Decision denying institution of this
`
`proceeding. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $22,800 for
`
`the post-institution fees that it paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding and that the refund be credited to Deposit Account No. 601986.
