`
`Case No. IPR2020-00031
`Patent 10,043,188 B2
`
`
`On October 10, 2019, Petitioner Guardian Alliance Technologies, Inc. filed a
`
`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,043,188 under 35 U.S.C. §§
`
`311-319 AND 37 C.F.R. § 42.100 et seq. (Paper 1.) The petition sought inter partes
`
`review of all of the independent claims of the ’188 Patent: 1, 5, 9, and 15. (Id. at 1.)
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner submitted a total fee of $30,500, including a post-institution
`
`fee of $15,000, for review of up to fifteen (15) claims under 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2).
`
`On March 26, 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Decision Denying
`
`Institution of Inter Partes Review. (Paper 23 at 21.)
`
`Because the IPR was not instituted, Petitioner hereby requests refund of the
`
`$15,000 post-institution fee.
`
`Petitioner submitted an electronic payment of the post-institution fee with its
`
`petition via electronic wire. Receipt of this wire was confirmed by the Board.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that
`
`the Board credit the post-institution fee totaling $15,000 to Deposit Account No.
`
`602198.
