`
`U.S. Patent No. 9,128,632 under 35 U.S.C. § 103, and 37 C.F.R. § 42.100 et seq.
`
`(“Petition,” Paper No. 1), seeking review of claims 1-5, 12-14, and 19-20 of the
`

`
`Decision denying Inter Partes Review (Paper No. 8). On August 21, 2017,

`for Rehearing denying the request (Paper No. 10). Petitioners hereby request a
`
`refund of $14,000 for the Post-Institution Fee under 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a)(2)
`
`submitted with the filing of the Petition. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg. 4233, 4234-35
`
`(Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`
`
`Payment of $14,000 in Post-Institution Fees was processed through PRPS on
`
`January 20, 2017, and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1597.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully request that the
`
`Board credit $14,000 to our Deposit Account No. 50-1597 under Order No. 65725-
`
`80050.
