`
`
`Under the Patent and Trademark Office’s Final Rule Setting and Adjusting
`
`Patent Fees During Fiscal Year 2017, 82 Fed. Reg. 52780, 52790 (Nov. 14, 2017),
`
`Petitioners request a post-institution fee refund in the amount of $15,000 to be paid
`
`to Deposit Account No. 501432.
`
`On November 12, 2018, Petitioners filed a petition for inter partes review
`
`(“IPR”) in the above-captioned case seeking review of 8 claims of U.S. Patent No.
`
`8,443,216. In accordance with the fee schedule specified in 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(a),

`Petitioners paid $30,500 at the time of filing of this petition. Petitioners’ payment
`
`consisted of $15,500 for the IPR request fee and a further $15,000 in post-
