`Case IPR2017-09161
`U.S. Pat. No. 6,934,148
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.26, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of the
`
`
`
`post-institution fees paid with its Petition for Inter Partes Review.
`
`
`
`On September 20, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`of claims 1,2,4 of U.S. Patent No. 6,934,148. Petitioner submitted therewith the
`
`inter partes review request fee of $9,000.00, pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(1),
`
`and the inter partes review post-institution fee of $14,000.00, pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2).
`
`On December 8, 2017, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 317 and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74,
`
`the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the inter partes review (Paper 9). On
`
`January 8, 2018, the Board granted the joint motion to terminate the proceeding
`
`(Paper 15), without instituting any inter partes review.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of $14,000.00 for the
`
`post-institution fee, to be applied to Deposit Account No. 600701 of Andrews
`
`Kurth Kenyon LLP.
