`On August 4, 2015 Tietex International, LTD. (“Petitioner”) filed a petition
`
`for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,796,162 (“Petition”, Paper No. 1),

`seeking review of claims 1-30 of the ‘162 patent. On February 11, 2016 the Patent

`under 37 CFR 42.71(c) (Paper No. 8). On April 28, 2016 the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board issued a decision denying rehearing (Paper No. 9).
`
`Petitioner hereby requests a refund of $20,000.00 for the basic Post-
`
`Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2) ($14,000.00) and the Post-Institution
`
`Fee under 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(4) for 15 excess claims ($6,000.00) submitted with
`
`the filing of the Petition.
`
`Payment of the $20,000.00 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through
`
`PRPS on August 4, 2015. Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner
`
`respectfully requests that the Board credit the refunded fees to Deposit Account

`No. 501196.
