`Case IPR2017-00011
`Patent RE41,148
`
`
`Petitioner Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) requests a refund in the
`
`
`
`amount of $16,000 to be paid to Deposit Acct. No. 160605 (Customer ID No.
`
`00826) pursuant to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`On October 4, 2016, Mylan filed a Petition for inter partes review against
`
`U.S. Patent No. RE41,148, proceeding IPR2017-00011. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Mylan deposited an electronic payment
`
`in the amount of $ 25,000 with the PTO at the time of filing its Petition. Mylan’s
`
`payment consisted of $ 9,000 in fees associated with Mylan’s inter partes review
`
`request, and a further $ 16,000 in Post-Institution fees.
`
`On April 14, 2017, the Board entered a decision to deny institution of
`
`IPR2017-00011. Accordingly, Mylan requests a refund in the amount of $16,000
`
`for the Post-Institution fees.
