`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners Sony Corporation and Polycom, Inc. (“Petitioners”) filed a petition
`
`Inter Partes Review No. IPR2018-01413
`Of US Patent No. 9,769,477
`
`for Inter Partes Review of twenty-nine (29) claims of U.S. Patent 9,769,477 on July
`
`31, 2018 (Paper No. 1). At the time of filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of
`
`$41,600.00, consisting of a $15,500.00 inter partes review request fee, a $2,700.00
`
`excess claim request fee for the nine (9) claims in excess of twenty (20) claims, a
`
`$15,000.00 inter partes review post-institution fee, and a $8,400.00 excess claim
`
`post-institution fee for the fourteen (14) claims in excess of fifteen (15) claims, in
`
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a). On November 7, 2018, the parties jointly
`
`requested termination of the proceedings (Paper No. 7). On January 2, 2019, the
`
`Board granted the motion and terminated this proceeding prior to issuing any
`
`institution decision (Paper No. 10). In view of the Board’s termination of this
`
`proceeding prior to issuing an institution decision, Petitioners respectfully requests
`
`a refund of the inter partes review post-institution fee of $23,400.00 that was
`
`submitted with its petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) as set forth in the
`
`Board’s Final Rule, Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4234-35
`
`(Jan. 18, 2013) (authorizing refunds of post-institution fees for proceedings
`
`terminated prior to institution). Petitioners requests that the refund be deposited in
`
`Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
