`
`§ 42.100 et seq. (“Petition,” Paper No. 1), seeking review of claims 1-11, 14-25
`
`and 28 of the ’341 patent. On October 1, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`issued a Decision Denying Institution (Paper No. 8). Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of $17,600 for the Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2)
`
`($14,000) and Post-Institution Claim Fees under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4) for nine
`
`claims ($3,600) submitted with the filing of the Petition. See e.g., 78 FR 4233,
`
`4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`Payment of $17,600 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`March 17, 2015, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1597.
