`
`
`
`
`Petitioner Nokia of America Corporation (“Nokia” or “Petitioner”) hereby
`
`files a request for refund of the $15,000 post-institution fee that was previously paid.
`
`
`
`On February 13, 2019, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,682,357 and paid the USPTO a total of $30,500, which included
`
`a $15,500 payment for inter partes review request fee and a $15,000 payment for
`
`the post-institution fee. The petition was granted a filing date of February 13, 2019.
`
`(Paper 4). On April 29, 2019, a Joint Motion to Terminate this inter partes review
`
`was filed (Paper 8). On May 6, 2019, the Board granted this motion and terminated
`
`IPR2019-00667.
`
`
`
`Therefore, because the petition to institute inter partes review was filed after
`
`March 19, 2013, and the proceeding did not institute, Petitioner is entitled to request
`
`a refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See e.g., 78 FR 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.”). Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of the $15,000 post-institution fee previously paid by Petitioner. The refund
`
`may be deposited in Deposit Account No. 505708 of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart &
`
`Sullivan, LLP.
