`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. requests a refund of its post-
`
`institution fee in the amount of $33,750.00 to be paid to Deposit Account No.
`
`506092.
`
`On February 12, 2021, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review with
`
`the United States Patent & Trademark Office that was assigned case number
`
`IPR2021-00539. Petitioner sought review of claims 1–12, 15-27, 29, and 33-41 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,860,044. In accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner paid
`
`$58,375.00 to the USPTO at the time of filing its Petition as follows:
`
`• $24,625.00 (initial fee); and
`• $33,750.00 (post-institution fee).
`On August 3, 2021, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a decision
`
`terminating the proceeding in advance of the institution deadline (or prior to the
`
`inter partes review commencing). Petitioner thus requests a refund of its post-
`
`institution fee in the amount of $22,500.00.
