`
`Paper No. 12 Case No. IPR2015-00694
`October 6, 2015
`
`
`
`Petitioner Under Armour, Inc. (“Petitioner”) requests a refund of post-
`
`institution fees in the amount of $14,000.00.
`
`
`
`On February 5, 2015, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,292,867. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner
`
`deposited $23,000.00 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the
`
`time of filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioner’s payment consisted
`
`of $9,000.00 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes review, and a
`
`further $14,000.00 in post-institution fees.
`
`
`
`On July 16, 2015, the Board issued a Decision Denying Institution of Inter
`
`Partes Review (Paper 9). Petitioner filed a Request for Rehearing (Paper 10),
`
`which the Board denied in an Order dated September 30, 2015 (Paper 11). Inter
`
`Partes review was thus not instituted. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of
`
`the post-institution fees paid to the USPTO in connection with this proceeding,
`
`totaling $14,000.00, to be paid to deposit account number 506499 (referencing
`
`Attorney Docket No.78678.0022).
