`
`DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR POWER OF ATTORNEY
`
`04/30/2014
`The request for Power of Attorney filed
`granted at this time for the reason stated below.
`
`is acknowledged. However, the request cannot be
`.
`
`CI The Power of Attorney you provided did not comply with the new Power of Attorney rules that became
`effective on June 25_, 2004. See 37 CFR 1.32.
`
`gThe revocation is not signed by the applicant, the assignee of the entire interest, or one particular
`
`principal attorney having the authority to revoke.
`
`CI The Power of Attorney is from an assignee and the Certificate required by 37 CFR 3.73(c) has not been
`received.
`
`0 The person signing for the assignee has omitted their empowerment to sign on behalf of the assignee.
`
`CI The inventor(s) is without authority to appoint attorneys since the assignee has intervened as provided
`by 37 CFR 3.71.
`
`, a co-inventor in this application, has been omitted.
`CI The signature(s) of
`The Power of Attorney will be entered upon receipt of confirmation signed by said co-inventor(s).
`
`D -The person(s) appointed in the Power of Attorney is not registered to practice before the U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office.
`
`CI Only one Customer Number can be designated for the Power of Attorney in an application. The
`Customer Number that was captured is the first Customer Number provided on the Power of Attorney
`document.
`
`CI A request under 37 CFR 1.48 to add an inventor was granted in this application, however, no power of-
`attorney consistent with the power of attorney granted by the originally named inventive entity has been
`received. Thus, the addition of the inventor has resulted in the loss of power of attorney in the
`application. See 37 CFR 1.32(e).

`
`D The power of attorney has not been accepted because the party who is giving power of attorney has not
`"been identified. Power of attorney may only be signed by the applicant for patent (37 CFR 1.42) or the
`patent owner. A patent owner who was not the applicant must appoint any power of attorney in
`compliance with 37 CFR 3.71 and 3.73. See 37 CFR 1.32(b)(4).
`
`CI The power of attorney from the inventors has not been accepted because it isa copy from a'prior
`_ national application for which benefit is claimed and the continuing application names an inventor who
`was not named as an inventor in the prior application.
`
`D The power of attorney from the inventors has not been accepted because the power of attorney must be
`signed by the applicant for patent. See 37 CFR 1.32(b)(4).
`
`CI Any request to correct or update the name of the applicant must include an application data sheet (ADS)
`in compliance with 37 CFR 1.76 specifying the correct or updated name of the applicant in the applicant
`information section. Any request to change the applicant after an original applicant has been specified
`under 37 CFR 1.46(b) must include a new ADS in compliance with 37 CFR 1.76 specifying the applicant
`in the applicant information section and comply with 37 CFR 3.71 and 3.73. See 37 CFR 1.46(c).
