`
`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 November 14, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`claims 33-44, 46, 50, and 52-55 of U.S. Patent No. 7,237,634. 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 post-
`
`institution request of each claim in excess of 15 fee of $1,200.00, pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(4).
`
`On February 2, 2017, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74, the
`
`parties filed a joint motion to terminate the inter partes review (Paper 7). On
`
`February 14, 2017, the Board granted the joint motion to terminate the proceeding
`
`(Paper 10), without instituting any inter partes review.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of $15,200.00, for the
`
`post-institution fee and post-institution request of each claim in excess of 15 fee, to
`
`be applied to Deposit Account No. 600701.
