`On October 20, 2022, Petitioner filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review of
`
`claim 12 of U.S. Patent No. 7,086,747 in IPR2023-00054. See Paper 2. On January

`Dismiss Petition for Inter Partes Review. See Paper 10. Therefore, in accordance
`
`with 37 C.F.R. §§ 42.15(a)(2) and 1.26(a), Petitioner hereby requests a refund of
`
`$22,500.00 for the post-institution fee Petitioner paid for IPR2023-00054.
`
`Upon review and approval of this request, Petitioner respectfully requests that
`
`the Board deposit the refund into the deposit account from which it was paid,
`
`namely, Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC Deposit Account No. 501546, as provided
`
`for in the Petition. See Paper 2 at 5 (“The undersigned authorizes the Office to charge
`
`the fee set forth in 37 C.F.R. §42.15(a)(1) to Deposit Account No. 501546.”).
