`Request for Refund
`
`
`Petitioner Daimler AG respectfully requests a refund of the $24,600 post-
`
`institution fees that it previously paid. Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes
`
`review of U.S. Patent No. 7,489,786 on June 6, 2018, and submitted to the USPTO
`
`a $24,600 post-institution fee pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) and (a)(4). On
`
`January 17, 2019, the Board terminated this proceeding and dismissed the petition
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §§ 314(a). See Paper No. 12.
`
`Based on termination of the proceeding prior to institution, Petitioner
`
`respectfully requests the Board credit a refund in the amount of the post-institution
`
`fees. See FAQ G10 available at http://www.uspto.gov/patents-application-
`
`process/appealing-patent decisions/trials/patent-review-processing-system-prps-
`
`0#heading-10 (“If the proceeding is terminated before institution and the petition
`
`was filed on or after March 19, 2013, the petitioner may file a request for a refund
`
`of the post-institution fee paid.”). This amount is $24,600. The amount may be
`
`deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-5708. If more information is necessary to
`
`provide payment, please contact Jim Glass.
