`Patent 6,397,186
`On March 11, 2019, Microsoft Corporation (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for
`
`Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 6,397,186 (Claims 1-20). The Parties filed a
`
`Joint Motion to Terminate Proceedings on August 19, 2019 (Paper No. 10). The
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board issued its Judgment terminating the proceeding on
`
`August 21, 2019 (Paper No. 12).
`
`Petitioner challenged 34 claims, and Petitioner paid a post-institution fee
`
`calculated as follows:
`
`•
`
`•
`
`$15,000 (up to 15 claims per 37 CFR § 42.15(a)(2)); plus
`
`$3,000 (5 claims at $600 per 37 CFR § 42.15(a)(4)).
`
`Accordingly, Petitioner is entitled to a refund of $18,000.
`
`The post-institution fee was paid on March 11, 2019, from Deposit Account
`
`02-4550, and the appropriate fee may be credited back to the Deposit Account.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioners respectfully request that
`
`the Board credit the post-institution fee to Deposit Account 02-4550.

`Dated: February 4, 2022
