`
`
`
`
`On October 30, 2014 Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 7,490,151 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, 2, 6-
`
`8, and 12-14 of the ’151 patent. On February 17, 2015, the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board issued a Decision Denying Institution (Paper No. 11). Petitioner
`
`hereby requests a refund of $14,000 for the Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a)(2) ($14,000) submitted with the filing of the Petition. See e.g., 78 FR
`
`4233, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`Payment of $14,000 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`October 30, 2014, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1597.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully requests that the
`
`Board credit the Post-Institution Fees to our Deposit Account No. 50-1597 under
`
`Order No. 41484-80120.
