`Proceeding No.: IPR2019-00753
`Attorney Docket: 39521-0058IP1
`
`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,
`
`Apple Inc., requests a refund in the amount of $15,000.00 to be paid to deposit
`
`account number 06-1050.
`
`On February 28, 2019, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,587,207 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was
`
`assigned case number IPR2019-00753. In accordance with the fee schedule
`
`specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the
`
`amount of $15,500.00 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
`
`$15,000.00 in Post-Institution fees.
`
`On September 16, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a
`
`Decision denying institution. And on November 14, 2019, the Board entered a
`
`Decision denying a request for rehearing. Accordingly, Petitioner requests a
`
`refund in the amount of $15,000.00 for the post-institution fees that it has paid to
`
`the USPTO in connection with this proceeding.
