`Case IPR2017-01034
`Patent No. 8,784,888
`
`
`Petitioner Mylan Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Mylan”) requests a refund in the
`
`
`
`amount of $ 14,000 to be paid to Deposit Acct. No. 160605 (Customer ID No.

`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`On March 9, 2017, Mylan filed a Petition for inter partes review against U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,784,888, proceeding IPR2017-01034. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Mylan deposited an electronic payment
`
`in the amount of $ 23,000 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 $ 14,000 in Post-Institution fees.
`
`Mylan and Patent Owner Cosmo Technologies, Inc. (“Cosmo”) entered into a
`
`settlement agreement. Accordingly, on September 20, 2017, the parties jointly
`
`moved to terminate this proceeding pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317(a), 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.72, and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74.
`
`On September 20, 2017, the Board entered a decision to terminate
`
`proceeding IPR2017-01034. Accordingly, Mylan requests a refund in the amount
`
`of $14,000 for the Post-Institution fees.
