`Petitioner Yotrio Corporation (“Yotrio”) requests a refund in the amount of

`On November 18, 2016, Yotrio filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review against
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,794,781, proceeding IPR 2017-00299. In accordance with the fee
`
`schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Yotrio deposited an electronic payment
