`
`
` DB1/ 88422217.1
`
`
`
`
`HP Inc. (“Petitioner”) hereby requests a refund of the $14,000 post-
`
`IPR2016-00791
`Patent No. 8,678,550
`
`
`
`
`institution fee that it previously paid. Petitioner filed a petition for inter partes
`
`review of U.S. Patent No. 8,678,550 on March 22, 2016, and paid the USPTO
`
`$23,000 on that date, including a $9,000 payment for the inter partes review
`
`request fee and a $14,000 payment for the post-institution fee, as required by 37
`
`C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2). On July 12, 2016, the Board terminated this proceeding, as
`
`requested in the parties’ Joint Motion to Terminate Proceeding filed July 6, 2016
`
`(Paper No. 7), noting that no decision on whether to institute a trial was made. See
`
`Paper 10.
`
`
`
`Based on the termination of this proceeding before institution, Petitioner
`
`requests a refund in the amount of the post-institution fees that it paid for post-
`
`institution services. See 78 FR 4212, 4233 (January 18, 2013), available at
`
`http://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/aia_implementation/AC54_Final_Rule_Se

`
`to the petitioner if the Office does not institute a review.”); FAQ E7, available at
`
`http://www.uspto.gov/patents-application-process/appealing-patent-
`

`
`petitioner may file in PRPS a request for a refund of any post-institution fee
`
`paid.”).
