`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Under the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting
`
`Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4233–34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner requests a
`
`refund in the amount of $18,000 to be paid to Deposit Account No. 50-0310.
`
`
`
`On June 16, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”)
`
`in the above-captioned case seeking review of 25 claims of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,504,746 B2. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a), Petitioner paid $28,000 at the time this petition was filed. Petitioner’s
`
`payment consisted of $10,000 for the IPR request fee—($9,000 for the initial fee +
`
`$1,000 for review of claims in excess of 20)—and a further $18,000 in post-
`
`institution fees—($14,000 for the post-institution fee + $4,000 for the post-
`
`institution fee for review of claims in excess of 15). On December 15, 2016, the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied institution of review as to all of the
`
`challenged claims.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of $18,000 for the post-institution
`
`fees that it has paid in connection with IPR2016-01206.
`
`
`
`Dated: January 26, 2017
