`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF
`POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01318
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petitioner), requests a refund
`
`of post-institution fees in the amount of $27,000.00.
`
`
`
`On July 16, 2020, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 9,220,631. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited
`
`$48,250.00 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the time of
`
`filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioner’s payment consisted of
`
`$21,250.00 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes review, $27,000.00
`
`in post-institution fees.
`
`
`
`On December 7, 2020, the Board issued a Decision Dismissing the Petition
`
`and Terminating the Proceeding Prior to Institution of Trial (Paper 17). Inter
`
`Partes review was thus not instituted. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of
`
`the post-institution fees paid to the USPTO in connection with this proceeding,
`
`totaling $27,000.00, to be paid to deposit account number 506499.
