`Request for Refund of Post-Institution Fees, IPR2018-00259
`U.S. Patent 7,075,917
`
`Petitioner Apple Inc. (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`
`
`five (5) claims of U.S. Patent 7,075,917 on November 12, 2018 (Paper No. 1). At
`
`the time of filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of $30,500.00, consisting of a
`
`$15,500.00 inter partes review request fee and a $15,000.00 inter partes review
`
`post-institution fee in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a). On June 27, 2019, the
`
`Board denied institution of the inter partes review (Paper No. 7). In view of the
`
`Board’s termination of this proceeding prior to issuing an institution decision,
`
`Petitioners respectfully request a refund of the inter partes review post-institution
`
`fee of $15,000.00 that was submitted with its petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §
`
`42.15(a)(2) as set forth in the Board’s Final Rule, Setting and Adjusting Patent Fees,
`
`78 Fed. Reg. 4212, 4234-35 (Jan. 18, 2013) (authorizing refunds of post-institution
`
`fees for proceedings terminated prior to institution). Petitioners request that the
`
`refund be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
