`
`
`Request for Refund of post-institution fee for IPR2017-00753
`
`Honorable Justices:
`
`Petitioner submits this request for a refund of the post-institution fee paid for
`
`the above-referenced Petition for Inter Partes Review (the “Petition”), which was
`
`filed on and accorded a filing date of January 23, 2017. Specifically, at the time of
`
`filing, Petitioner pre-paid a $14,000 post-institution fee. Pursuant to the Patent &
`
`Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 F.R. 4211,
`
`4233-4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner requests a refund of the pre-paid post-
`
`institution fee in the amount of $14,000.
`
`Here, the Inter Partes Review proceeding has been terminated prior to its
`
`institution (See Paper No. 14, Decision Granting Petitioner’s Unopposed Motions to
`
`Dismiss). Therefore, Petitioner believes that it is entitled to be refunded the post-
`
`institution fee identified above.
`
`Accordingly, refund of the $14,000 paid for filing fees is respectfully
`
`requested. Refund may be made to Deposit Account No. 50-3672.
`
`
`
`Date: March 23, 2017
`
`Respectfully submitted,
