`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0106IPR3
`
`On February 19, 2015, Ford Motor Company (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition
`
`
`
`
`
`for Inter Partes Review seeking review of claims 1-2, 4-6, 16-20, 27, 40-41, 43-44,
`
`53-55 and 57-60 of U.S. Patent No. 7,455,134. Patent Owner, Paice LLC (“PAICE,
`
`LLC”), submitted its Preliminary Response on June 17, 2015 (Papers No. 11, 12).
`
`On August 18, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Judgment
`
`denying Petitioner's petition: “Upon consideration of the record before us, it is
`
`ORDERED that the Petition is denied and no trial is instituted. . . .” (Paper No. 14
`
`at p. 10.)
`
`
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the institution fee if the Board does not
`
`institute trial. Payment of the $16,800 post-institution fee ($14,000 plus $2,800 for
`
`the 7 claims in excess of 15) was processed through PRPS on February 19, 2015,
`
`and charged to Deposit Account 06-1510. Petitioner hereby requests a refund of
`
`$16,800 for the post-institution fees under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) and 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a)(4).
