`
`
`
`Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (“Petitioner”) filed a petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of 1-10 claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,095,990 on July 14, 2020
`
`(Paper No. 2). At the time of filing, Petitioners submitted a fee of $30,500.00
`
`consisting of a $15,500.00 request fee and a $15,000.00 inter partes review post-
`
`institution fee in accordance with 37 C.F.R. § 42.15(b). On January 27, 2021, the
`
`Board denied institution of the inter partes review (Paper No. 8). In view of the
`
`Board’s decision, Petitioners respectfully request a refund of $15,000.00 for the
`
`inter partes review post-institution fee 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.
