`
`PETITIONER REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`

`
`

`

`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.26, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of the
`
`post-institution fees paid with its Petition for Inter Partes Review.
`
`
`
`On July 20, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`claims 49-57, 62-64, 66, 68, 70, 71, 73-80, 94, 95, 97, 99-103, 106, 109-111, 113,
`
`115, and 120 of U.S. Patent No. 8,155,342. Petitioner submitted therewith the
`
`inter partes review request fee of $9,000.00, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1),
`
`and the inter partes review post-institution fee of $14,000.00, pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2). Petitioner also submitted therewith the inter partes review
`
`request of each claim in excess of 20 fee of $3,800.00, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a)(3), and the inter partes post-institution request of each claim in excess of
`
`15 fee of $9,600.00, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4). The Board dismissed the
`
`inter partes review on January 31, 2017 (Paper 9), without instituting any inter
`
`partes review.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of $23,600.00 for the
`
`post-institution fee and post-institution request of each claim in excess of 15 fee, to
`
`be applied to Deposit Account No. 60-0701.
