`
`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`
`IPR2016-01271 Request for Refund
`Patent 8,566,960
`
`Unified Patents Inc. (“Unified” or “Petitioner”) hereby files its request for a
`
`refund of the $18,000 post-institution fee that was previously paid.
`
`On June 29, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent 8,566,960 and paid the USPTO a total of $28,000 at the time of filing this
`
`petition, which included a $18,000 payment for the post-institution fee required by
`
`37 C.F.R. §§ 42.15(a)(1)–(4). The filed inter partes review petition was granted a
`
`filing date on July 22, 2016. (Paper 4). The Board subsequently denied institution
`
`of inter partes review on January 9, 2017. (Paper 6). The Board terminated the
`
`proceeding before institution of the inter partes review. The Petitioner is entitled
`
`to request a refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid and is
`
`entitled to this refund. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg. 4233 (Jan. 18, 2013); PTAB E2E
`
`Frequently Asked Questions E7.
`
`For at least the reasons set forth above, Unified files its request for a refund
`
`of the post-institution fee that was previously paid and hereby requests a refund of
`
`the $18,000 post-institution fee previously paid by Unified.
`
`The refund may be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6990 under
`
`reference “IPR2016-01271 (8,566,960)”.
`
`Therefore, Unified respectfully requests a refund of the post-institution fee
`
`for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 8,566,960, IPR2016-01271.
