`Case IPR2019-00825
`U.S. Patent No. 9,762,397
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4,211, 4,233-34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) requests a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 to be paid
`
`to deposit account number 19-0036.
`
`On March 29, 2019, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`seeking review of claims 1 and 2 of U.S. Patent No. 9,762,397 (assigned case
`
`number IPR2019-00825) (Paper 2). On November 6, 2019, the Patent Trial and
`
`Appeal Board declined to institute trial in this Inter Partes Review proceeding
`
`(Paper 7). On November 26, 2019, Petitioner filed a Request for Rehearing of
`
`Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review (Paper 9). On February 10,
`
`2020, the Board denied Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing (Paper 10).
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the institution fee if the Board does not
`
`institute trial. Payment of the $15,000.00 post-institution fee was processed
`
`through PTAB E2E on March 29, 2019.
`
`Relief requested:
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 for
`
`the post-institution fee that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding.
