`
`
`
`
`Strava, Inc., Valassis Communications, Inc., RetailMeNot, Inc., and Dollar Shave
`
`Club, Inc. (collectively, “Petitioners”) request a refund of post-institution fees in
`
`the amount of $15,000.00.
`
`On May 20, 2019, Petitioners filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent 7,802,310. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioners deposited
`
`$30,500.00 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the time of
`
`filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioners’ payment consisted of
`
`$15,500.00 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes review, and a
`
`further $15,000.00 in post-institution fees. On March 16, 2020, the Board issued an
`
`Order denying Petitioners’ Request for Rehearing (Paper 31). Inter Partes review
`
`was not instituted.
`
`Because the proceeding was not instituted, Petitioners hereby request a
`
`refund of the post-institution fees paid to the USPTO in connection with the
`
`proceeding, totaling $15,000.00. Payment of the fee was processed through
`
`Financial Manage and posted to the deposit account for Kirkland & Ellis, deposit
`
`account number 506092.

`

`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully request
`
`IPR2019-01111
`U.S. Patent No. 7,802,310
`
`
`
`
`that the Board credit the $15,000 post-institution fee to the original Deposit
`
`Account.
