`U.S. Patent No. 8,293,284
`
`
`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`On March 23, 2016, Petitioner Praxair Distribution, Inc. and NOxBOX
`
`
`
`Limited filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 8,293,284
`
`(Paper 4) requesting review of thirty (30) claims. Petitioner paid a fee of
`
`$31,000.00, including: (i) $9,000.00 for an inter partes review request fee for up to
`
`twenty (20) claims; (ii) $2,000.00 for an inter partes review fee for request of ten
`
`(10) claims in excess of twenty (20); (iii) $14,000.00 for an inter partes review
`
`post-institution fee up to fifteen (15) claims; and (iv) $6,000.00 for an inter partes
`
`review post-institution fee for request of fifteen (15) claims in excess of fifteen
`
`(15). On September 22, 2016, the Board denied institution of Inter Partes Review
`
`(Paper 10). Petitioner therefore requests a refund of $20,000.00 for the inter partes
`
`review post-institution fee of thirty (30) claims under (iii) and (iv) above.
`
`The Patent and Trial Appeal Board is hereby authorized to charge or refund
`
`any fees associated with this case to Deposit Account 02-1818.
