`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`On January 12, 2017, Petitioner Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies
`
`Corporation (d/b/a Wabtec Corporation) filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,714,494 (Paper 2) requesting review of eight (8) claims.
`
`Petitioner paid a fee of $23,000.00, including: (i) $9,000.00 for an inter partes
`
`review request fee for up to twenty (20) claims, and (ii) $14,000.00 for an inter
`
`partes review post-institution fee. On September 12, 2017, the Board denied
