`
`Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees, 78
`
`F.R. 4211, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013).
`
`On August 29, 2017, Petitioner filed a Petition for inter partes review against
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,631,715, proceeding IPR2017-01990. In accordance with the

`
`electronic payment in the amount of $23,000 with the PTO at the time of filing its

`
`$14,000 for the Post-Institution fees.
