`
`Case IPR2015-00345
`U.S. Patent No. 8,205,237
`________________
`
`
`
`GOOGLE, INC.’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF EXCESS CLAIM FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner Google,
`
`Inc. (“Google”) requests a refund in the amount of $2,400 to be credited to Deposit
`
`Account No. 19-2385.
`
`On December 3, 2014, Google filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review with
`
`the PTO requesting review of 36 claims: 1-27, 29-30, 32-35, 37-38, 40. In
`
`accordance with the fee schedule provided in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b), Google
`
`authorized the PTO to charge any applicable fees to the specified deposit account.
`
`Google’s petition incurred the following fees:
`
`
`
`
`Request fee
`Excess claim request fee
`(16 claims x $250)
`Post-institution fee
`Excess claim post-institution fee
`(21 claims x $400)
`Total
`
`9,000
`4,000
`
`14,000
`8,400
`
`$35,400
`
`On June 23, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “Board”) issued a
`
`decision instituting inter partes review on Google’s petition on 30 claims: 1-16, 21-
`
`27, 29-30, 33-35, 37-38. Because the Board only instituted inter partes review on
`
`30 claims, the applicable excess claim post-institution fee is $6,000 (15 claims x
`
`$400). Accordingly, Google requests a refund for the difference of $2,400 to
`
`Deposit Account No. 19-2385.
