`Petitioners Cixi City Liyuan Auto Parts Co. Ltd., Tyger Auto, Inc., and
`
`Hong Kong Car Start Industrial Co. Ltd. (collectively “Petitioners”) request a
`
`refund of post-institution fees in the amount of $15,000.00
`
`On June 2, 2020, Petitioners filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,061,758. 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 in fees associated with the request for Inter
`
`Partes review, and a further $15,000 in post-institution fees.
`
`On January 13, 2021, the Board issued an Order terminating the
`
`present proceeding. (Paper 8.) Inter Partes review was not instituted.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioners request a refund of the post-institution fees paid to
`
`the USPTO in connection with this proceeding, totaling $15,000.00, to be
`
`paid to deposit account number 20-1430 (referencing Attorney Docket No.
