`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`On November 30, 2016, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,197,766 (Paper 1) requesting review of seven (7) claims.
`
`Petitioner paid a fee of $23,000, including: (i) $9,000 for an inter partes review
`
`request fee for up to twenty (20) claims; and (ii) $14,000 for an inter partes review
`
`post-institution fee up to fifteen (15) claims. On June 12, 2017, the Board denied
`
`institution of Inter Partes Review (Paper 6). Petitioner therefore requests a refund
`
`of $14,000 for the inter partes review post-institution fee under (ii) 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.
