`Case IPR2022-00389
`U.S. Patent No. 9,715,581
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4,211, 4,233-34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner
`
`requests a refund in the amount of $31,500.00 to be paid to deposit account
`
`number 19-0036.
`
`On January 4, 2022, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review
`
`seeking review of claims 1-32 of U.S. Patent No. 9,715,581 (assigned case number
`
`IPR2022-00389) (Paper 2). On June 15, 2022, the Board issued a Decision
`
`Terminating the Proceeding Due to Settlement Prior to Institution of Trial (Paper
`
`8). Trial was never instituted in this proceeding.
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the institution fee if the Board does not
`
`institute trial. Payment of the $31,500.00 post-institution fee under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a)(2) in this proceeding was processed through PTAB E2E on January 10,
`
`2022.
`
`Relief requested:
`
`
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $31,500.00 for
`
`the post-institution fee that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with this
`
`proceeding.
