`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Spectrum Brands v. Assa Abloy AB
`IPR2015-01563
`
`Petitioner Spectrum Brands, Inc. (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests a refund
`
`of the $16,800 in post-institution filing fees paid in this proceeding to Deposit
`
`Account 111410 (Customer No. 20,995).
`
`On July 8, 2015, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent 7,706,778. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited with the
`
`PTO a total of $26,200 to cover the required fees, including $16,800 in post-
`
`institution fees.
`
`On January 15, 2016, the Board issued a decision denying institution of inter
`
`partes review. Paper 7. Accordingly, IPR review was not instituted and Petitioner
`
`requests a refund of the $16,800 in post-institution fees paid to the PTO in
`
`connection with this proceeding.
