`1
`
`
`
`On April 14, 2015, Petitioners filed a petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,122,141. On October 19, 2015 the Board issued a decision denying
`
`institution (Paper No. 8). On November 17, 2015 Petitioners filed a Request for
`
`Rehearing (Paper No. 9). On December 28, 2016, the Board issued a decision
`
`Denying the Request for Rehearing (Paper No. 10), subsequently terminating this
`
`proceeding.
`
`In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2), the post-institution fees paid at
`
`the time of filing should be returned. Petitioners thus respectfully request a refund of
`
`$14,000, representing the post-institution fees paid in IPR2015-01037, be paid to the
`
`deposit account of Venable LLP, Deposit Account No. 220261.
