`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Samsung
`
`Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. (“Petitioner”) request
`
`a refund in the amount of $14,000 to be paid to Deposit Account Number 50-2613.
`
`On January 23, 2015, Petitioner filed a Petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,365,871 (“the ’871 Patent”) with the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a),
`
`Petitioner deposited an electronic payment at the time of filing of the Petition,
`
`including $9,000.00 for fees associated with Petitioner’s request for review and a
`
`further $14,000 for post-institution fees.
`
`On July 8, 2015, the Board entered a Decision denying institution of the
`
`petition. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $14,000 for the
`
`post-institution fees that it has paid, which are no longer necessary.
