`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND
`OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE PAID
`
`
`
`On November 15, 2016, Microsoft Corporation (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition
`
`for inter partes review seeking review of nine claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,757,717.
`
`On May 16, 2017, prior to issuance of an institution decision, the Board dismissed
`
`the petition and granted the parties’ joint motion to terminate, thereby terminating
`
`IPR2017-00261. Paper 16. Payment of the $14,000 post-institution fee was
`
`processed on November 15, 2016, and charged to Deposit Account 02-4550.
`
`Petitioners hereby request a full refund of the post-institution fee of $14,000
`
`because the proceeding was terminated prior to issuance of an institution decision.
`
`Id.; see also online Patent Review Processing System FAQs at E7 (“[T]he petitioner
`
`may file in PRPS a request for a refund of any post-institution fee paid.”).
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully request that
`
`the Board credit the $14,000 post-institution fee to Deposit Account 02-4550.
`
`
`
`Dated: June 12, 2017
