`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND

`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2014-01381
`U.S. Patent No. 8,335,033
`
`Petitioner Fujitsu Network Communications, Inc. (“FNC”) requests a refund
`
`of $17,200 post-institution fees paid by FNC in connection with this proceeding.
`
`On August 26, 2014, FNC filed a petition for inter partes review of claims 1,
`
`22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 39, 43, 45, 47, 48, 51, 57, 58, 64, 65, 76, 79, 80, 81, 89 and 90
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 8,335,033 (Paper No. 1), accompanied by a total payment of
`
`$26,200 for the fee required under 37 C.F.R. § 42.103 and set forth in 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a). FNC’s payment consisted of: (i) $9,000 for the request fee under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1); (ii) $14,000 for the post-institution fee under 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a)(2); and (iii) $3,200 for the post-institution excess claim fee under 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4). Thus, FNC paid $17,200 in post-institution fees in
`
`connection with this proceeding.
`
`On November 10, 2014, before rendering a decision on the merits regarding
`
`whether to institute a trial and before the Patent Owner filed a response to the
`
`petition, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) entered a judgment of a
`
`termination of the proceeding (Paper No. 9) based on a settlement between the
`
`parties.
`
`Accordingly, FNC respectfully requests that the PTAB grant this request
`
`for refund of the post-institution fees and credit a refund in the amount of $17,200
`
`to Petitioner by depositing the refund into Deposit Account No. 13-3250.
