`
`
`
`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 of prepaid post-institution fees in the amount of $15,000 to be refunded to
`
`Deposit Account No. 50-3013.
`
`On June 7, 2018, Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes review (“IPR”) in
`
`the above-captioned case seeking review of 4 claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,256,486.
`
`In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioners
`
`paid $30,500 at the time of filing of this petition, which included a prepaid post-
`
`institution fee of $15,000.00. On November 19, 2018, the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board denied institution of review. Accordingly, Petitioner requests that the
`
`prepaid post-institution fee of $15,000 be refunded to Deposit Account No. 50-
`
`3013.
