`U.S. Patent No. 7,338,363
`
`
`
`
`
`Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of 1-27 claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,338,363 on May 22, 2020
`
`(Paper No. 1). At the time of filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of $39,800
`
`consisting of a $15,500.00 request fee, $2,100 inter partes review for additional
`
`claim fee for seven (7) additional claims, a $15,000.00 inter partes review post-
`
`institution fee, and a $7,200.00 inter partes post-institution additional claim fee for
`
`twelve (12) additional claims, in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b). On
`
`November 20, 2020, the Board denied institution of the inter partes review (Paper
`
`No. 9). In view of the Board’s decision, Petitioners respectfully request a refund of
`
`$22,200.00 for the inter partes review post-institution fee of $15,000.00 and inter
`
`partes post-institution additional claim fee of $7,200.00 that was submitted with
`
`their initial petition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b). Petitioners request that the
`
`refund be deposited in Deposit Account No. 50-6159.
