`
`Case IPR2020-00613
`Patent No. 8,416,862
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF
`POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`On February 20, 2020, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) filed a
`
`petition (Paper No. 1) for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,416,862 with the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment at the time of filing of
`
`the petition, including $15,500 for fees associated with Petitioner’s request for
`
`review and a further $15,000 for post-institution fees. On August 24, 2020, the
`
`Board entered a Decision (Paper No. 10) terminating the proceeding. On September
`
`23, 2020, Petitioner filed a request for rehearing regarding the denial of institution
`
`(Paper No. 11). On October 14, 2020, in light of the parties having settled their
`
`dispute, Petitioner filed a motion for withdrawal of its rehearing request (Paper No.
`
`12), and on October 27, 2020 the Board granted that motion. (Paper No. 13.)
`
`Therefore, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $15,000 to be paid to
`
`Deposit Account Number 50-2613 for the post-institution fees, which are no longer
`
`necessary.
