`
`Case No. IPR2017-01247
`Request for Refund of Post Institution Fee
`
`
`I.
`
`Petitioner International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”)
`
`respectfully requests a refund of $14,000, the post-institution fee initially paid for
`
`its Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent 8,438,221 (“the ’221 patent”),
`
`assigned case number IPR 2017-01247.
`
`II.
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`On April 6, 2017 IBM filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of claim 19 of
`
`the ’221 patent under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319 and 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.1-.80, 24.100-
`
`.123. On October 16, 2017, the Board denied institution.
`
`Because no trial has been instituted in this IPR, Petitioner hereby requests a
`
`refund of $14,000, the post-institution fee paid pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2).
`
`Payment of the post-institution fee was processed through PTAB E2E on April 7,
`
`2017, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 506989. Upon
`
`review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board
`
`credit $14,000 to Deposit Account No. 506989.
