`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Mercedes” or “Petitioner”) filed its Petition for
`
`inter partes review of U.S. Patent No. 8,180,279 on July 17, 2015. (Paper 1.)
`
`Subsequently, Mercedes and Antennatech LLC (“Antennatech”) resolved their
`
`dispute through settlement and Mercedes filed a Motion to Terminate the
`
`proceedings. (Paper 6.) On September 24, 2015, the Board entered a judgment
`
`terminating the proceeding. (Paper 9.) The Board’s judgment preceded any
`
`institution decision and therefore Mercedes hereby requests a refund of $15,600 for
`
`the post-institution fees that it paid pursuant to 37 CFR 42.15(a)(2) and
`
`42.15(a)(4). See also 78 FR 4233, 4234-35 (Jan 18, 2013).
`
`Payment of $14,000 in post-institution fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`July 17, 2015, and charged to the undersigned’s credit card, in addition to $1,600
`
`of post-institution fees for claims in excess of 15, for a total of $15,600 in post-
`
`institution fees. Upon review and approval of this request, Mercedes respectfully
`
`requests that the Board credit the post-institution fees to the credit card charged on
`
`July 17, 2015.
