`
`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR REFUND
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., Zimmer, Inc., and Biomet, Inc.
`
`(“Zimmer”) requests a refund in the amount of $14,000 to be paid to Deposit Account
`
`No. 506092.
`
`On December 9, 2015, Petitioners filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review with
`
`the United States Patent and Trademark Office that was assigned case number
`
`IPR2016-0311. Petitioner sought review of claims 6-11, 13-15, and 19-20 of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,092,454. In accordance with 37 C.F.R § 42.15(a), Petitioner paid $23,000
`
`to the USPTO at the time of filing its Petition as follows:
`
`$9,000 (initial fee); and
`$14,000 (post institution fee).
`
`•
`•
`On June 7, 2016, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined to institute an IPR
`
`
`
`trial in IPR2016-00311. Petitioners thus request a refund of the $14,000 post-institution
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`fee.
