`
`Commissioner for Patents
`P.O. Box 1450
`
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1450
`
`Madam:
`
`On November 7, 2012, Applicants filed an Assertion of Entitlement to Small Entity Status in
`
`the referenced application. Applicants filed the Assertion in good faith, and paid the fees associated
`
`with the application as a small entity in good faith. It was later discovered that the Applicant should
`
`not have been entitled to small entity status and the Assertion was established in error.
`
`Pursuant to 37 CFR §§ l.27(g)(2) and l.28(c), Applicants are informing the Office that the
`
`referenced application is no longer entitled to Small Entity Status.
`
`Furthermore, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §l.28(c)(l)(2), on December 28, 2012, Applicants
`
`submitted a payment of $2900 at the large entity rate for the 7.5 year maintenance fee and then on
`
`January 4, 2013 Applicants requested a refund indicating the payment was made erroneously at the
`
`large entity and should have been paid at the small entity rate of $1450.00. Applicants are now
`
`submitting that the referenced patent is no longer a small entity and the 7.5 year maintenance fee
`
`should be paid at the large entity rate.
`
`The current fee for the 7.5 year maintenance fee is $3600. Therefore, the Commissioner
`
`is hereby authorized to charge to deposit account number 19-1970 $2,150.00 for the deficiency
`
`owed.

`
`overpayment to that Account.

`
`Madam:
`
`This Request for Refund is filed pursuant to 37 U.S.C. 1.26 and MPEP 607.02.
`
`On December 28, 2012, Applicants erroneously paid the 8”‘ year Maintenance Fee payment
`
`for the referenced patent as a large entity when it should have been paid as a small entity. On
`
`November 7, 2012, Applicants submitted an “Assertion ofEntitlement to Small Entity Status” with
`
`the USPTO. A copy of the Assertion is attached herewith. Applicants’ status is now Small Entity
`
`and therefore should have paid $1450.00 for the 8"‘ year maintenance fee instead of the $2900.00.
`
`Applicants respectfully request a refund of $1450.00 in the above-referenced patent.
`
`Applicant respectfully requests that the $1450.00 be refunded to Deposit Account No. 19-
`
`1970 (6936-47).
