`Case IPR2018-00410
`Patent 6,895,449
`
`
`
`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`Under the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting
`
`Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4233–34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioners request a
`
`refund in the amount of $14,400 to be paid to Deposit Account No. 50-3013.
`
`On December 29, 2017, Petitioners filed a petition for inter partes review
`
`(“IPR”) in the above-captioned case seeking review of 16 claims of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 6,895,449. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a), Petitioners paid $23,400 at the time of filing of this petition.
`
`Petitioners’ payment consisted of $9,000 for the IPR request fee and a further
`
`$14,400 in post-institution fees. On February 2, 2018, the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board denied institution of review. Accordingly, Petitioners request a refund of
`
`$14,400 for the post-institution fees that it has paid in connection with IPR2018-
`
`00410.
