`On July 1, 2013, Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,418,504 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 and 37 C.F.R.

`§ 42.100 et seq. (“Petition,” Paper No. 1), seeking review of claims 1-3, 5-8 and
`
`14-60 of the ’504 patent. On December 18, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board issued a Decision Denying Inter Partes Review (Paper No. 15); on January
`
`6, 2014, Petitioner submitted a Motion for Rehearing; on February 12, 2014, the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a Decision Denying the Request for
`
`Rehearing (Paper No. 19). Petitioner hereby requests a refund of $29,600 for the
`
`Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) ($14,000) and Post-Institution
`
`Claim Fees under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4) for thirty-nine claims ($15,600)
`
`submitted with the filing of the Petition. See e.g., 78 FR 4233, 4234-35 (Jan. 18,
`
`2013).
`
`
`
`Payment of $29,600 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`July 1, 2013, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1597.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that the
`
`Board credit the Post-Institution Fees to our Deposit Account No. 50-1597 under
