`Patent RE 45,380
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013),
`
`Petitioners, Medtronic Inc. and Medtronic Vascular Inc. request a refund in the
`
`amount of $15,000.00 to be paid to deposit account number 600615.
`
`On November 14, 2019, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`of U.S. Patent No. RE 45,380 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2020-00131. In accordance with the fee schedule
`
`specified at the time of the filing in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)1, Petitioner deposited an
`
`electronic payment in the amount of $15,500.00 with the Board at the time of
`
`filing of its Petition to cover associated fees with Petitioner’s inter partes review
`
`request. Petitioner also deposited $15,000.00 (Post-Institution fee up to 15
`
`claims).
`
`On June 26, 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied Institution.
`
`(Paper 20). Then, on October 14, 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied
`
`Petitioner’s Request on Rehearing of Decision Denying Institution. (Paper 24).
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 for the
`
`post-institution fees that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding.
`
`
`1 The USPTO has since increased filing fees effective October 2, 2020.
