`
`
`PETITIONER’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF
`POST-INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioner General Electric Company (“Petitioner”) requests a refund of
`
`post-institution fees in the amount of $14,000.00.
`
`
`
`On March 1, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 8,894,538. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited
`
`$23,000.00 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) at the time of
`
`filing the Petition to cover associated fees. Petitioner’s payment consisted of
`
`$9,000.00 in fees associated with the request for Inter Partes review, $14,000.00 in
`
`post-institution fees.
`
`
`
`On July 10, 2017, the Board issued a Decision Denying Institution of Inter
`
`Partes Review (Paper 7). Inter Partes review was thus not instituted.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund of the post-institution fees paid to the
`
`USPTO in connection with this proceeding, totaling $14,000.00, to be paid to
`
`deposit account number 506499.
