`
`REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`FOR INTER PARTES REVIEW
`
`
`
`On February 1, 2017, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (“Petitioner”) filed a
`
`petition for inter partes review seeking review of claims 1-3, 6, 9-10, and 13 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,265,545. Petitioner paid an inter partes review post-institution
`
`fee of $14,000.
`
`Prior to institution, the Board issued an Order dismissing the petition on
`
`May 4, 2017. Petitioner therefore respectfully requests a refund of $14,000 for the
`
`aforementioned post-institution fees. See, e.g., 78 Fed. Reg. 4233-4234. Upon
`
`approval of this request, Petitioner asks that the Board credit such refund to the
`
`undersigned’s Deposit Account No. 50-1349.
`
`
`
`Dated: May 5, 2017
