`
`
`
`
`
`Case No.: IPR2015-00791
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0104IPR11
`
`On February 22, 2015, Ford Motor Company (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition
`
`
`
`
`
`for Inter Partes Review seeking review of claims 33, 37, 39, 40, 41, 80, 93, 94, 96,
`
`99, 106, 107, 108, 113, 114, 127, 128, 132, 139, 140, 141, 146, 215, 229, and 231
`
`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 27, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`issued its Judgment denying review of five (5) of the twenty-five (25) challenged
`
`claims in the Petitioner’s petition: “We do not institute an inter partes review of
`
`claims 33, 37, and 39-41 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 $18,000 in post-institution fees ($14,000
`
`plus $4,000 for 10 claims in excess of 15) was processed through PRPS on
`
`February 22, 2015, and charged to Deposit Account 06-1510. Petitioner hereby
`
`requests a refund of $2,000 for post-institution extra claim fees ($400 x 5 denied
`
`claims) under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4).
`
`
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
`
`Case No.: IPR2015-00791
`Attorney Docket No.: FPGP0104IPR11
`
`that the Board credit the post-institution fee to Deposit Account 06-1510.
