`
`

`

`Case No.: CBM 2016-00100

`
`2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Decision denying Petitioner's
`
`Atty. Dkt. No.: FPGP0130CBMR1
`
`Petition (Paper No. 12). Petitioner then filed a Request for Rehearing on April 19,
`
`2017 (Paper No. 13), and, on October 26, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`issued its Decision denying Petitioner's Request for Rehearing (Paper No. 19).
`
`The Rules provide for a refund of the post institution fee if the Board does

`through PRPS on September 13, 2016, and charged to Deposit Account 06-1510.
`
`Petitioner hereby requests a refund of $20,750 for the post-institution fee under 37

`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests
