`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF THE POST INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`On September 12, 2016, Ford Motor Company ("Petitioner") filed a Petition
`
`for covered business method patent review seeking review of claims 1-20 of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,805,825. Patent Owner, Versata Development Group, Inc., submitted
`
`its Preliminary Response on December 23, 2016 (Paper No. 6). On March 20,
`
`
`
`Case No.: CBM 2016-00100
`Patent No.: 8,805,825
`
`2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Decision denying Petitioner's
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: FPGP0130CBMR1
`
`Petition (Paper No. 12). Petitioner then filed a Request for Rehearing on April 19,
`
`2017 (Paper No. 13), and, on October 26, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`issued its Decision denying Petitioner's Request for Rehearing (Paper No. 19).
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the post institution fee if the Board does
`
`not institute trial. Payment of the $20,750 post-institution fee was processed
`
`through PRPS on September 13, 2016, and charged to Deposit Account 06-1510.
`
`Petitioner hereby requests a refund of $20,750 for the post-institution fee under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2).
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`that the Board credit the post-institution fee to Deposit Account 06-1510.
