`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule
`
`Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4234-4235 (Jan.
`
`18, 2013), Petitioner Printing Industries of America (“PIA”)
`
`requests a refund in the amount of $14,000 to be paid to PIA.
`
`
`
`On July 29, 2013, PIA filed a Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review of claims 1-14 of U.S. Patent No. 6,611,349 that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2013-00474. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a), PIA submitted payment
`
`by credit card in the amount of $23,000 with the PTO at the time
`
`of filing of its Petition to cover the associated fees. PIA’s
`
`payment consisted of $9,000 in fees associated with PIA’s
`
`Petition for Inter Partes review request, and further $14,000 in
`
`Post-Institution Fees.
`
`
`
`On December 30, 2013, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`entered judgment terminating the IPR2013-00474 proceeding prior
`
`to institution. Accordingly, PIA requests a refund in the
`
`amount of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that it paid to
`
`the USPTO in connection with that proceeding and further
`
`requests that the refund be charged back to the credit card
`
`account used to pay the fees.
