`Attorney Docket No: 37307-0007IP2
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner,
`
`Kingston Technology Company, Inc., requests a refund in the amount of $14,000
`
`to be credited to Deposit Account Number 06-1050.
`
`On February 24, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,840,414 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2017-00974. In accordance with the fee schedule
`
`specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the
`
`amount of $9,000 with the Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover
`
`associated fees with Petitioner’s inter partes review request, and a further $14,000
`
`in Post-Institution fees.
`
`On August 14, 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a Decision
`
`denying institution of this proceeding, and on October 26, 2017, the Board denied
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Rehearing. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in
`
`the amount of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that it has paid to the USPTO in
`
`connection with that proceeding and request that the refund be credited to Deposit
`
`Account No. 06-1050.
