`Case IPR2017-01309
`U.S. Patent No. 9,036,853
`
`Petitioner Freebit AS (“Petitioner”) requests a refund of post-institution fees
`
`
`
`in the amount of $14,000.00 to be paid to deposit account number 15-0030.
`
`On April 21, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for inter partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 9,036,853. As required by 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a), Petitioner deposited
`
`$23,000.00 with the 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, and a further $14,000.00 in post-institution fees.
`
`On November 8, 2017, the Board issued a decision denying institution.
`
`(Paper 08) and subsequently denied rehearing on January 23, 2018 (Paper 10).
`
`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 15-0030.
