`
`
`
`Petitioner American Airlines, Inc. (“Petitioner”) hereby files its request for a
`
`IPR2023-01366
`Patent No. 7,065,5555
`
`
`
`refund of $22,500.00 for the inter partes review post-institution claim fee for up to
`
`twenty (20) claims which was previously paid.
`
`On August 30, 2023, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,065,555 and paid the USPTO a total of $41,500.00, which
`
`included a $19,000.00 payment for the inter partes review request fee and a
`
`$22,500.00 payment for the post-institution fee.
`
`The petition was granted a filing date of August 30, 2023. (Paper No. 3.) On
`
`October 19, 2023 the Board entered a Decision – Granting Joint Motion to
`
`Termiante Proceedign Due to Settlement before Institution, terminating the
`
`proceeding. (Paper No. 8.) Accordingly, the inter partes review was never
`
`instituted. Therefore, because the petition to institute inter partes review was filed
`
`after March 19, 2013, and the proceeding did not institute, Petitioner is entitled to
`
`request a refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See, e.g., 78
`
`FR 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.”).
`
`Petitioner hereby requests a refund of the $22,500.00 post-institution fee
`
`previously paid by Petitioner. The refund may be deposited in Deposit Account
`
`No. 50-5723 of McKool Smith PC under customer reference number 127134.
