`U.S. Patent No. 8,381,209

`
`PETITIONER'S REQUEST FOR REFUND
`OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`Petitioner Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) respectfully requests a refund
`
`of post-institution fees in the amount of $22,500.
`
`On May 7, 2021, Microsoft filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,381,209 (“Petition”). As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Microsoft
`
`deposited $41,500 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the
`
`time of filing the Petition in order to cover associated fees. Microsoft’s payment
`
`consisted of $19,000 in fees associated with the Request for Inter Partes Review, and
`
`a further payment of $22,500 in post-institution fees.
`
`On November 8, 2021, the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued a
`
`Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes Review (Paper No. 11). Microsoft did
`
`not file a request for rehearing. Thus, inter partes review was not instituted.
`
`Accordingly, Microsoft requests a refund of the post-institution fees paid to the
`
`USPTO in connection with this proceeding, totaling $22,500, to be paid to deposit
`
`account 15-0665 (referencing Attorney Docket 9843.2153/2).
