`
`
`
`
`
`
`On January 9, 2017, Microsoft Corporation (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,694,657 under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 and
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.100 et seq. (“Petition,” Paper No. 2), seeking review of dependent
`
`claims 203, 209, 215, 221, 477, 482, 487, and 492 of the ’657 patent. On April 24,
`
`2017, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the proceeding (Paper No. 12).
`
`On April 27, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a Decision
`
`Terminating Inter Partes Review (Paper No. 14). Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of $14,000 for the Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2)
`
`submitted with the filing of the Petition. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg. 4233, 4234-35
`
`(Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`
`
`Payment of $14,000 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`January 9, 2017, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1597.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that the
`
`Board credit $14,000 to our Deposit Account No. 50-1597 under Order No. 10171-
`
`82170.
