`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On September 29, 2017, Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Inter
`
`Case No. IPR2017-02022
`Patent No. 8,239,852
`
`
`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 1.) The petition sought inter partes
`
`review of eleven (11) 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 May 1, 2018, the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board denied institution as to all eleven (11) challenged
`
`claims. (Paper 8.) On May 30, 2018, Petitioner filed its Request for Rehearing.
`
`(Paper No. 9.) On December 13, 2018, the Board issued its Decision Denying
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing. (Paper No. 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 No. 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
`
`No. 50-0639.
