`
`PETITIONER RADWARE INC.’S REQUEST FOR REFUND OF POST-
`INSTITUTION FEES
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232–4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Petitioner,
`
`Radware, Inc., requests a refund in the amount of $16,000 to be credited to
`
`Deposit Account Number 505907.
`
`On April 6, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 6,311,278 with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board that was assigned
`
`case number IPR2017-01249. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited an electronic payment in the amount of
`
`$9,000 with the Board at the time of filing of its Petition to cover associated fees
`
`with Petitioner’s inter partes review request, and a further $16,000 in Post-
`
`Institution fees. On October 23, 2017 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board entered a
`
`Decision denying institution of this proceeding.
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner requests a refund in the amount of $16,000 for the
`
`post-institution fees that it has paid to the USPTO in connection with that
`
`proceeding and request that the refund be credited to Deposit Account No.
`
`505907.
