`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Case IPR2017-01804
`U.S. Patent 8,724,622
`
`
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4211, 4233-34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`Apple Inc. requests a refund in the amount of $19,200.00 to be paid to deposit
`
`account number 19-0036.
`
`On January 19, 2018, the Board declined to institute inter partes review in
`
`this proceeding (Case IPR2017-01804) (Paper No. 8). Accordingly, Petitioner
`
`requests a refund of the post-institution fee of $19,200.00 that was previously
`
`charged on a deposit account.
`
`Petitioner’s deposit account number is 19-0036. The Rules provide for a
`
`refund of the institution fee if the Board does not institute trial. Payment of the
`
`$19,200.00 post-institution fee was processed through PTAB E2E on July 20,
`
`2017. Accordingly, Petitioners request a refund in the amount of $19,200.00 for
`
`the post-institution fee that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding.
