`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case IPR2015-01540
`Petitioner’s Request for Refund
`
`Ford Motor Company (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for inter partes review
`
`
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 6,886,956 on July 2, 2015 (Paper No. 3). At the time of filing,
`
`Petitioners submitted a fee of $23,000.00, consisting of a $9,000.00 inter partes
`
`review request fee and a $14,000.00 inter partes review post-institution fee, in
`
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a). On October 30, 2015, after the parties
`
`jointly requested termination of the proceedings (Paper No. 8), the Board
`
`terminated this proceeding prior to issuing any institution decision (Paper No. 10).
`
`In view of the Board’s termination of this proceeding, Petitioner respectfully
`
`requests a refund of the inter partes review post-institution fee of $14,000.00 that
`
`was submitted with its initial petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2), as set
`
`forth in the Board’s Final Rule, Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg.
`
`4212, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013). Petitioner requests that the refund be deposited in
`
`Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
