`
`
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4233-4234 (Fed. Reg. Jan. 18, 2013)
`
`Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $20,000 be paid to Jones Day deposit
`
`account number 501432, reference 305529-600058.
`
`On June 20, 2014, Petitioner filed the above-captioned Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review. In accordance with the fee schedule and 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), the
`
`Petitioner paid $31,000 in fees at the time of filing, which included a $11,000 IPR
`
`Request fee ($9000 plus $2000 excess claims fee) and $20,000 in post-institution
`
`fees ($14,000 plus $6000 excess claims fee).
`
`The PTAB issued a decision denying institution on December 2, 2014
`
`(Paper 7), and another decision denying Petitioner’s request for rehearing on May
`
`21, 2015 (Paper 10.) Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of the $20,000 in
`
`post-institution fees.
