`U.S. Patent 8,982,086
`
`Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for Inter Partes Review of 1-4 claims
`
`
`
`of U.S. Patent No. 8,982,086 on December 23, 2020 (Paper No. 1). At the time of
`
`filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of $41,500.00 consisting of a $19,000.00 inter
`
`partes request fee and a $22,500.00 inter partes review post-institution fee in
`
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b). On April 8, 2021, the parties jointly requested
`
`termination of the proceedings (Paper No. 6). On April 9, 2021, the Board granted
`
`the motion and terminated this proceeding prior to issuing any institution decision
`
`(Paper No. 8). In view of the Board’s termination of this proceeding prior to issuing
`
`an institution decision, Petitioner respectfully requests a refund of the inter partes
`
`review post-institution fee of $22,500.00 that was submitted with its petition
`
`pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2) as set forth in the Board’s Final Rule, Setting
`
`and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013) (authorizing
`
`refunds of post-institution fees for proceedings terminated prior to institution).
`
`Petitioner requests that the refund be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
