`
`On February 22, 2021, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of

`
`specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the
`
`amount of $24,625 with the Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover
`
`associated fees with Petitioner’s inter partes review request, and a further $22,500
