`Patent 6,340,189
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232-4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), E. Mishan &
`
`Sons, Inc. (“Petitioner”) respectfully requests a refund of post-institution fees in
`
`the amount of $14,000 to be paid to deposit account number 50-5708.
`
`On October 27, 2016, Petitioner filed its Petition for Inter Partes review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,340,189 (the “’189 patent”). (Paper 1.) On May 8, 2017, the
`
`Board entered a Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes review. (Paper 7.)
`
`Petitioner deposited an electronic payment of $14,000 in post-institution fees
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR 42.15(a)(2) and 42.15(a)(4) for requesting review of 9 claims
`
`of the ’189 patent.
`
`Because the instant proceeding was not instituted, Petitioner hereby requests
`
`a refund of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that it paid to the USPTO in
`
`connection with this matter. See 78 FR 4233, 4234-35 (Jan 18, 2013).
