`U.S. Patent 8,337,463
`
`Becton, Dickinson and Company ("BD") (“Petitioner”) hereby files its
`
`request for a refund of the $14,000 post-institution fee that was previously paid.
`
`On June 16, 2017, BD filed a petition in this proceeding for inter partes
`
`review of claims 1, 2, 10, 12, 25 and 28 of U.S. Patent No. 8,337,463. The filed
`
`inter partes review petition was denied institution on December 15, 2017 (Paper
`
`No. 8).
`
`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) available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-01-
`
`18/pdf/2013-00819.pdf (stating that “The entire post-institution fee would be
`
`returned to the petitioner if the Office does not institute a review.”).
`
`Petitioner thus requests a refund of $14,000 for the post-institution fee. The
`
`refund may be deposited in Deposit Account No. 08-0219 under attorney docket
`
`reference number 0006675-00327US3.
`
`If more information is necessary to provide payment, please contact counsel
`
`listed below.

`Dated: 4/12/2021
