`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF

`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Google Inc.
`
`(“Petitioner”) requests a refund in the amount of $20,000.00 to be paid to Deposit
`
`Account Number 50-2613.
`
`On August 17, 2015, Petitioner filed a Petition for inter partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,650,234 (“the ’234 Patent”) with the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a),
`
`Petitioner deposited an electronic payment at the time of filing of the Petition,
`
`including $11,000.00 for fees associated with Petitioner’s request for review and a
`
`further $20,000.00 for post-institution fees.
`
`On October 16, 2015, the Board entered a Decision terminating this
`
`proceeding pursuant to settlement. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the
`
`amount of $20,000.00 for the post-institution fees that it has paid, which are no
`
`longer necessary.
