`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`On April 14, 2019, Petitioners filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`claims 1, 4-6, 8-10, 12, 14-16, 19-21, 23-26, 29-30 of the ’287 patent under
`
`35 U.S.C. §§ 102 and 103. On October 16, 2019, the Board denied institution.
`
`(Paper No. 13.)
`
`Because no trial has been instituted in this IPR, Petitioners hereby request
`
`a refund of $18,000.00, the post-institution fees paid pursuant to 37 C.F.R.
`
`§ 42.15(a)(2) and (a)(4). Payment of the post-institution fees was processed
`
`through PTAB E2E on April 14, 2019 and charged to the undersigned’s Deposit
`
`Account No. 506989. Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner
`
`respectfully requests that the Board credit $18,000.00 to Deposit Account No.
`
`506989.
