`Case IPR2017-01106
`Patent 7,824,889
`Request for a Refund of the Post-Institution Fee
`
`
`I.
`
`STATEMENT OF RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`Petitioners Myriad Genetics, Inc., Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc., Bio-
`
`Rad Laboratories, Inc., and RainDance Technologies, Inc. ("Petitioners")
`
`respectfully request a refund of the post-institution fee they initially paid when
`
`filing their petition for Inter Partes Review ("IPR") of U.S. Patent No. 7,824,889,
`
`which was assigned case number IPR2017-01106.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`Petitioners filed their petition for IPR on March 17, 2017. (Paper 1.) On
`
`April 5, 2017, the Board accorded the petition a filing date of March 17, 2017 and
`
`gave the Patent Owner until July 5, 2017 to file a Preliminary Response. (Paper 4.)
`
`The Patent Owner did not file a Preliminary Response. On August 16, 2017,
`
`Petitioners and Patent Owner submitted a Joint Motion to Terminate the IPR of
`
`U.S. Patent 7,824,889. (Paper 7.) On August 22, 2017, the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board granted the Joint Motion to Terminate and ordered that the petition
`
`be dismissed. (Paper No. 9.) The Board noted that "it is appropriate to dismiss
`
`each case without rendering a decision as to whether a trial will be instituted." (Id.
`
`at 2.)
`
`Because no trial was instituted, Petitioners request a refund of the $15,200
`
`post-institution fee they paid pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) when filing the
`
`
`
`

`

`Case IPR2017-01106
`Patent 7,824,889
`Request for a Refund of the Post-Institution Fee
`
`
`petition. Payment of the $15,200 post-institution fee was processed on March 17,
`
`2017 and charged to the undersigned's Deposit Account No. 505708. Upon review
`
`and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully request that the Board credit
`
`the post-institution fee to Deposit Account No. 505708.
