`Case CBM2013-00058
`United States Patent No. 7,840,486
`
`
`
`On September 17, 2013, MasterCard International Incorporated (“Petitioner”) filed a
`
`Petition for Covered Business Method Patent Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,840,486 (“the ’486
`
`Patent”) under § 18 of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (“AIA”) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.300 et
`
`seq. (Paper 1), seeking covered business method patent review of claims 1-30 of the ’486 Patent.
`
`On March 7, 2014, the Board issued a Decision Denying Institution of Covered Business Method
`
`Patent Review (Paper 10). In its Decision, the Board denied the Corrected Petition in all respects
`
`and ordered that “pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 324(a) and § 18(a) of the AIA, a covered business
`
`method patent review is hereby DENIED as to claims 1-30 of the ’486 patent.” Id. at 17.
`
`Petitioner hereby requests refund of $26,250 for the Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(b)(2) submitted with the Petition.
`
`Payment of the $26,250 Post-Institution Fee was processed through PRPS on September 17,
`
`2013. Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`credit the Post-Institution fee to Deposit Account No. 02-4377, Ref. No.: 070457.2793.
