`U.S. Patent No. 7,038,399
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4,211, 4,233-34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner Feit
`
`Electric Company, Inc. (“Petitioner”) requests a refund in the amount of
`
`$15,000.00 to be paid to deposit account number 19-0036.
`
`On March 19, 2018, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`seeking review of claims 7, 8, 17, 18, 19, 34, 35, and 58-60 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,038,399 (assigned case number IPR2018-00790) (Paper 2). On October 10, 2018,
`
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board declined to institute trial in this Inter Partes
`
`Review proceeding (Paper 9).
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the institution fee if the Board does not
`
`institute trial. Payment of the $15,000.00 post-institution fee was processed
`
`through PTAB E2E on March 19, 2018.
`
`Relief requested:
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 for
`
`the post-institution fee that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding.
