`
`
`
`Petitioner Ravin Crossbows, LLC and Venatics, Inc. (“Petitioner”) submits
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,453,631
`
`
`this request for a refund of post-institution fees paid for the above styled Petition
`
`for Inter Partes Review (the “Petition”), which was filed on June 9, 2017, and
`
`accorded a filing date of June 19, 2017. Specifically, at the time of filing,
`
`Petitioner pre-paid $14,000 Post-Institution fees. Pursuant to the Patent &
`
`Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211,
`
`4233-4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner requests a refund of these pre-paid Post-
`
`Institution Fees in the amount of $14,000.
`
`
`
`Here, the Inter Partes Review proceeding has been terminated as a result of
`
`settlement, prior to its institution (See Paper No. 11). Therefore, Petitioner
`
`believes that it is entitled to be refunded $14,000 post-institution fees, which have
`
`been identified above.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, refund of the $14,000 paid for filing fees is respectfully
`
`requested. Refund may be made to the account that the fees were originally paid
`
`from.
