`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2017-02041
`Patent No. 8,239,852
`On August 31, 2017, Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Inter Partes
`
`Review of U.S. Patent 8,239,852 (the “’852 Patent”) under 35 U.S.C. §§ 311-319
`
`and 37 C.F.R. § 42.100 et seq. (Paper 2.) The petition sought inter partes review of
`
`thirteen (13) total claims of the ʼ852 Patent: Claims 1-8 and 16-18. (Id. at 1.)
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner submitted a post-institution fee of $14,000 (“Post-Institution
`
`Fee”) for post-institution review of up to fifteen (15) claims under 37 C.F.R.
`
`§42.15(a)(2) (prior to amendment on Nov. 14, 2017). On March 8, 2018, the Patent
`
`Trial and Appeal Board denied institution as to all eleven (11) challenged claims.
`
`(Paper 10.)
`
`Because the IPR was not instituted, Petitioner hereby requests refund of the
`
`$14,000 Post-Institution Fee.
`
`Petitioner submitted an electronic payment for the Post-Institution Fee with
`
`its petition through Deposit Account number 50-0639.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that
`
`the Board credit the Post-Institution Fee totaling $14,000 to Deposit Account
`
`number 50-0639.
`
`Dated: April 5, 2018
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
