`Case IPR2015-00522
`Patent 8,282,966
`
`
`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`On January 5, 2015, Petitioner Praxair Distribution, Inc. and Praxair, Inc.
`
`
`
`filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,282,966 (Paper 1)
`
`requesting review of twenty-nine (29) claims. Petitioner paid a fee of $30,400.00,
`
`including: (i) $9,000.00 for an inter partes review request fee for up to twenty (20)
`
`claims; (ii) $1,800.00 for an inter partes review fee for request of nine (9) claims in
`
`excess of twenty (20); (iii) $14,000.00 for an inter partes review post-institution
`
`fee up to fifteen (15) claims; and (iv) $5,600.00 for an inter partes review post-
`
`institution fee for request of fourteen (14) claims in excess of fifteen (15). On July
`
`29, 2015, the Board denied institution of Inter Partes Review (Paper 12).
`
`Petitioner therefore requests a refund of $19,600.00 for the inter partes review
`
`post-institution fee of twenty-nine (29) claims under (iii) and (iv) above.
`
`The Patent and Trial Appeal Board is hereby authorized to charge or refund
`
`any fees associated with this case to Deposit Account 02-1818.
