`Case PGR2018-00104
`U.S. Patent No. 9,962,244
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4211, 4233-34 (Jan. 18, 2013), Align
`
`Technology, Inc. (“Petitioner”) requests a refund in the amount of $22,000 to be
`
`paid to deposit account number 19-0036.
`
`On October 26, 2018, Petitioner filed a Petition for Post Grant Review
`
`seeking review of U.S. Patent No. 9,962,244 (assigned case number PGR2018-
`
`00104) (Paper 2). On May 13, 2019, the Board denied institution.
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the post-institution fee if the Board does
`
`not institute trial. Payment of the $22,000 post-institution fee under 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a)(2) was processed through PTAB E2E on October 26, 2018.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of the post-institution fees of
`
`$22,000 that were previously charged to Deposit Account No. 19-0036 (Customer
`
`ID No. 45324) in connection with this proceeding.
