`PTAB Case No. IPR2016-01762
`Petitioner's Request for Refund of Post-Institution Fees
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,893,212 B2 (Case
`
`No. IPR2016-01762) was instituted by a Decision issued by the PTAB on March 3,
`
`2017 (Paper No. 7). The proceeding has since been terminated due to settlement
`
`by an Order issued by the PTAB on May 11, 2017 (Paper 14).
`
`
`
`If the Board decides to institute a review for fewer claims than requested, the
`
`petitioner may request a refund for the post-institution excess claim fees paid.
`
`In light of the above circumstances, Petitioner hereby requests a refund in
`
`the total amount of $400.00 for the Inter Partes post-institution excess claim fee
`
`previously paid by Petitioner in connection with this proceeding.
`
`The determination of the above refund is based on the following. On
`
`September 8, 2016, Petitioner filed a petition for Inter Partes Review of claims
`
`1-23 of U.S. Patent No. 8,893,212 B2 (IPR2016-01762, Paper No. 2), accompanied
`
`by a total payment of $26,800.00 in accordance with the fee schedule specified in
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a). On March 3, 2017, the Board decided to institute review for
`
`claims 1-22. Accordingly, Petitioner is entitled to a refund for one post-institution
`
`excess claim fee paid.
