`
`for inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 7,544,276 with the Patent Trial and Appeal

`
`Petitioner deposited an electronic payment at the time of filing of the petition,
`
`including $19,000 for fees associated with Petitioner’s request for review and a
`
`further $22,500 for post-institution fees. On May 12, 2021, the Board entered a
