`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF
`POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Samsung
`
`Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) requests a refund in the amount of $14,400 to
`
`be paid to Deposit Account Number 50-2613.
`
`On July 29, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. RE40,264 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 $9,000.00 for fees
`
`associated with Petitioner’s request for review and a further $14,400 for post-
`
`institution fees. On February 14, 2017, the Board entered a Decision denying
`
`institution of the petition. See Paper No. 6; see also Paper No. 8 (denying
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing).
`
`Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $14,400 for the post-institution
`
`fees that it has paid, which are no longer necessary.
