`
`
`
`
`
`
`Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Mercedes” or “Petitioner”) filed its Petition for
`
`inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,241,034 on January 26, 2016. (Paper 1.)
`
`Subsequently, Mercedes and Advanced Headlamp Technologies, Inc. (“AHT”)
`
`resolved their dispute through settlement and Mercedes filed a Motion to
`
`Terminate the proceedings. (Paper 8.) On September 24, 2015, the Board entered
`
`a judgment terminating the proceeding. (Paper 10.) The Board’s judgment
`
`preceded any institution decision and therefore Mercedes hereby requests a refund
`
`of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that it paid pursuant to 37 CFR 42.15(a)(2)
`
`and 42.15(a)(4). See also 78 FR 4233, 4234-35 (Jan 18, 2013).
`
`Payment of $14,000 in post-institution fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`January 26, 2016, and charged to the undersigned’s credit card. Upon review and
`
`approval of this request, Mercedes respectfully requests that the Board credit the
`
`post-institution fees to the credit card charged on January 26, 2016.
