`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND
`OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`IPR2020-01055 (USP 7,907,137)
`
`Petitioner’s Request for Refund
`
`
`
`Dated: January 14, 20201
`
`
`
`On June 5, 2020, LG Display Co., Ltd. (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for
`Inter Partes Review (IPR2020-01055) seeking review of claims 1, 9, 10, 11, 15,
`36, 37, and 39 of U. S. Pat. No. 7,907,137. Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(2) and
`(4), Petitioner’s paid fees totaling $30,500 which included a $15,000 payment for
`the post-institution fee.
`On December 14, 2020, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“the Board”)
`denied institution of the Petition. (Paper 10.)
`Therefore, because the Petition for Inter Partes review was filed after March
`19, 2013, and the proceeding was not instituted, Petitioner is entitled to request a
`refund of the post-institution fee that was previously paid. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg.
`4212, 4233 (Jan. 18, 2013), available at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-
`01-18/pdf/2013-00819.pdf (“The entire post-institution fee would be returned to
`the petitioner if the Office does not institute a review.”).
`Upon review and approval of the request, Petitioner respectfully asks the
`Board to credit $15,000 to Petitioner’s by depositing such amount into PTO
