`Case No.: IPR2015-00787
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0104IPR5
`
`On February 23, 2015, Ford Motor Company (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition
`
`
`
`
`
`for Inter Partes Review seeking review of claims 33, 34, 35, 38, 53, 54, 215, 238,
`
`241, 252-256, 259, 261, 262, 267, 281, 282, 285, 287, and 288 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,237,634. Patent Owner, Paice LLC & The Abell Foundation, Inc. (“PAICE,
`
`LLC”), submitted its Preliminary Response on August 10, 2015 (Papers No. 9, 10).
`
`On October 26, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Judgment
`
`denying review of six (6) of the twenty-three (23) challenged claims in the
`
`Petitioner’s petition: “We do not institute an inter partes review of claims 33, 34,
`
`35, 38, 53, and 54 of the ’634 patent.” (Paper No. 12 at p. 2)
`
`
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the post institution excess claim fees if the
`
`Board does not institute trial. Payment of $17,200 in post-institution fees ($14,000
`
`plus $3,200 for 8 claims in excess of 15) was processed through PRPS on February
`
`23, 2015, and charged to Deposit Account 06-1510. Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of $2,400 for post-institution extra claim fees ($400 x 6 denied claims)
`
`under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4).
`
`
`

`
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`Case No.: IPR2015-00787

`
`that the Board credit the post-institution fee to Deposit Account 06-1510.
