`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Case No. IPR2019-00235
`U.S. Patent No. 7,868,912
`On November 12, 2018, Axis Communications AB, Canon Inc., and Canon
`
`U.S.A., Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent
`
`No. 7,868,912 (“the ’912 Patent”) and paid the USPTO a total of $47,000, which
`
`included a $15,000 inter partes review post-institution fee and a $12,000 inter
`
`partes review post-institution excess claim fee for review of claims 1-4 and 6-36 of
`
`the ’912 Patent (35 total claims).
`
`The Petition was afforded a filing date of November 12, 2018. (Paper 7).
`
`On June 4, 2019, the Board entered a decision denying institution of the requested
`
`inter partes review as to all challenged claims of the ’912 Patent. (Paper 19). On
`
`July 1, 2019, Petitioner filed a request for rehearing (Paper 20) and requested
`
`Precedential Opinion Panel (“POP”) review of the Board’s decision not to institute
`
`inter partes review (Ex. 3002). On January 9, 2020, Petitioner’s request for POP
`
`review was denied. On June 26, 2020, Petitioner’s request for rehearing was
`
`denied (Paper 24).
`
`Therefore, Petitioner hereby requests a refund of the $27,000 post-institution
`
`fees submitted with the Petition. See, e.g., 82 Fed. Reg. 52817 (Nov. 14, 2017).
`
`Petitioner respectfully requests that the Board credit the post-institution fees paid
`
`for the 35 challenged claims to Deposit Account No. 06-0916.
