`
`
`PETITIONER NVIDIA CORPORATION’S REQUEST FOR
`REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE FOR INTER PARTES
`REVIEW OF U.S. PATENT NO. 8,252,675 B2
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`FILED VIA PRPS
`
`
`
`

`
`On June 1, 2015, NVIDIA filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`(“IPR2015-01318”) seeking review of claims 1-15 of U.S. Patent No. 8,252,675.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2) and (4), NVIDIA paid fees totaling $23,000,
`
`which included a $14,000 payment for the post-institution fee.
`
`On December 7, 2015, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”)
`
`denied the Petition. (Paper No. 8).
`
`Therefore, because the petition to institute the inter partes review was filed
`
`after March 19, 2013, and the proceeding did not institute, NVIDIA is entitled to
`
`request a refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See, e.g., 78
`
`Fed. Reg. 4212, 4233 (Jan. 18, 2013), available at
`
`http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-01-18/pdf/2013-00819.pdf (“The entire
`
`post-institution fee would be returned to the petitioner if the Office does not
`
`institute a review.”).
`
`Upon review and approval of the request, NVIDIA respectfully asks the
`
`Board to credit $14000 to NVIDIA by depositing such amount into PTO Deposit
`
`Account No. 506269 of Latham & Watkins LLP.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
