`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`U.S. PATENT NO. 9,239,993
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`On January 15, 2018, Petitioner filed its petition in the above-captioned inter
`
`partes review with accompanying fees set forth in 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a). Petitioner
`paid both the Inter Partes Review request fee ($12,000) and the Inter Partes
`Review Post-Institution fee of $18,000 for review of claims up to 15 and an
`additional $2,750 for review of each claim in excess of 15 (for a total of $20,750).
`See attached deposit account summary.
`
`On July 12, 2018, the PTAB issued its decision denying institution of inter
`
`pares review. A Request for Rehearing was filed, and recently denied.
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests the refunds of its Inter Partes Review Post-
`Institution fees of $20,750. Petitioner further authorizes the Office to credit
`Petitioner’s Deposit Account No.: 18-0013 with the full amount requested.
`
`Petitioner is entitled to the requested refund because the post-institution fee
`
`is specifically for use by the Office should it institute. The agency provided for
`return of this fee in its fee rulemaking. The fee is to be returned when the Office
`does not institute a review. Here, it did not. Therefore, a total amount of $20,750
`should be returned to the Petitioner and such is courteously requested.
