`Patent 9,645,580
`
`Pursuant to the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and
`
`Adjusting Patent Fees, 78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4232-4234 (Jan. 18, 2013), Parrot S.A.,
`
`Parrot Drones S.A.S., and Parrot Inc. (collectively, “Petitioners”) respectfully
`
`request a refund of post-institution fees in the amount of $14,000 to be paid to
`
`deposit account number 50-5708.
`
`On May 10, 2017, Petitioner filed its Petition for Inter Partes review of U.S.
`
`Patent No. 9,645,580 (the “’580 patent”). (Paper 2.) On November 21, 2017, the
`
`Board entered a Decision Denying Institution of Inter Partes review. (Paper 10.)
`
`Petitioner deposited an electronic payment of $14,000 in post-institution fees
`
`pursuant to 37 CFR 42.15(a)(2) and 42.15(a)(4) for requesting review of 14 claims
`
`of the ’580 patent.
`
`Because the instant proceeding was not instituted, Petitioner hereby requests
`
`a refund of $14,000 for the post-institution fees that it paid to the USPTO in
`
`connection with this matter. See 78 FR 4233, 4234-35 (Jan 18, 2013).
