`
`Petitioners’ Request for Refund
`
`On June 6, 2018, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC and Jaguar Land
`
`Rover Ltd. (collectively, “Jaguar Land Rover”) filed a Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review (IPR2018-01203) seeking review of 1, 2, 4-14, 23, 24, 57, 58, 60-65, 86,
`
`88-92, 94, 97, and 98 of U.S. Patent No. 7,489,786. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§42.15(a)(2) and (4), Petitioner’s paid fees totaling $44,300 which included a
`
`$25,200 payment for the post-institution fee.
`
`On January 8, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”) denied
`
`institution of the Petition. (Paper 12).
`
`Therefore, because the Petition for Inter Partes review was filed after March
`
`19, 2013, and the proceeding was not instituted, Petitioner is entitled to request a
`
`refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg.
`
`4212, 4233 (Jan. 18, 2013), available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-
`
`01-18/pdf/2013-00819.pdf (“The entire post-institution fee would be returned to
`
`the petitioner if the Office does not institute a review.”).
`
`Upon review and approval of the request, Petitioner respectfully asks the
`
`Board to credit $25,200 to Petitioners’ by depositing such amount into PTO
`
`Deposit Account No. 506269 of Latham & Watkins LLP.
