`
`
`Case IPR2018-00544
`U.S. Patent No. 8,155,342
`
`
`
`On January 29, 2018, Jaguar Land Rover North America, LLC and Jaguar
`
`Land Rover Ltd. (collectively, “Jaguar Land Rover”) filed a Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review (IPR2018-00544) seeking review of 49-57, 62-64, 66, 68, 70, 71,
`
`73-80, 83, 86-88, 94, 95, 97, 99-103, 106, 109-111, 113, 115, 120 of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 8,155,342. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2) and (4), Petitioner’s paid fees
`
`totaling $54,200 which included a $31,800 payment for the post-institution fee.
`
`On August 10, 2018, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”)
`
`denied institution of the Petition. (Paper 8).
`
`Therefore, because the Petition for Inter Partes review was filed after March
`
`19, 2013, and the proceeding was not instituted, Petitioner is entitled to request a
`
`refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg.
`
`4212, 4233 (Jan. 18, 2013), available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-
`
`01-18/pdf/2013-00819.pdf (“The entire post-institution fee would be returned to
`
`the petitioner if the Office does not institute a review.”).
`
`Upon review and approval of the request, Petitioner respectfully asks the
`
`Board to credit $31,800 to Petitioners’ by depositing such amount into PTO
`
`Deposit Account No. 506269 of Latham & Watkins LLP.
