`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`Unified Patents Inc. (“Petitioner”), requests a refund of the post-institution fees in
`
`the amount of $15,200.00 to be paid to deposit account number 15-0030.
`
`On August 11, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,799,468 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2017-01934. In accordance with the fee schedule
`
`specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the
`
`amount of $9,000.00 with the Board at the time of filing its Petition to cover the
`
`base fee associated with the Petitioner’s inter partes review request, and a further
`
`$15,200.00 in post-institution fees, including the based $14,000.00 inter partes
`
`review post-institution fee, and $1,200.00 in fees for the claims in excess of 15.
`
`On March 5, 2018, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a Decision
`
`denying institution of inter partes review. On February 25, 2019, the Patent Trial
`
`and Appeal Board entered a Decision denying Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $15,200.00 for the post-
`
`institution fees that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this proceeding.
