`
`Request for Refund of Post-Institution Fees, IPR2018-01477
`U.S. Patent 7,848,493 B2
`
`
`Petitioners Apple Inc. and ZTE (USA) Inc. (“Petitioners”) filed a petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of eleven (11) claims of U.S. Patent 7,484,493 B2 on August 21,
`
`2018 (Paper No. 1). At the time of filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of $30,500.00,
`
`consisting of a $15,500.00 inter partes review request fee and a $15,000.00 inter
`
`partes review post-institution fee in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a). On
`
`March 7, 2019, the Board denied institution of the inter partes review (Paper No.
`
`11). In view of the Board’s termination of this proceeding prior to issuing an
`
`institution decision, Petitioners respectfully request a refund of the inter partes
`
`review post-institution fee of $15,000.00 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 request that the refund be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
