`Patent No. 6,836,691
`_____________
`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEE
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner PDF Solutions, Inc. requests a refund of its post-institution fee in
`
`the amount of $22,500.00 to be paid to Deposit Account No. 604464.
`
`On March 9, 2022, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review with the
`
`United States Patent & Trademark Office that was assigned case number IPR2022-
`
`00672. Petitioner sought review of claims 1-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,836,691. In
`
`accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner paid $41,500.00 to the USPTO at
`
`the time of filing its Petition as follows:
`
`• $19,000.00 (IPR Request fee); and
`
`• $22,500.00 (IPR Post-Institution fee).
`
`On September 8, 2022, 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.
`
