`
`Case: IPR2019-00071
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,430,498
`
`____________
`
`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR REFUND
`OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners ASUSTek Computer Inc. and ASUS Computer International
`
`(collectively “ASUS” or “Petitioners”) request a refund of post-institution fees in
`
`the amount of $15,000.
`
`On October 16, 2018, Petitioners filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,430,498. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioners
`
`deposited $30,500 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the
`
`time of filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioner’s payment consisted
`
`of $15,500 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes Review, and a further
`
`$15,000 in post-institution fees.
`
`On March 14, 2019, the Board issued a Decision Denying Institution of Inter
`
`Partes Review (Paper No. 7). Inter Partes Review was thus not instituted.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of the post-institution fees paid to the
`
`USPTO in connection with this proceeding, totaling $15,000, to be paid to Deposit
`
`Account No. 16-0605 (referencing matter number 063722/517875).
