`
`I.
`
`

`REAL PARTY IN INTEREST
`
`The United States of America is the owner of the entire right, title and
`
`interest in United States Patent No. 7,271,884 by assignment from the inventor,

`Halliburton Co. et al., Case No. 9:16-cv-119-DLC (D. Mont.) (the “District Court
`
`Litigation”). Adelos, Inc. is the exclusive licensee of the government for United
`
`States Patent No. 7,271,884, and brought the District Court Litigation under the
`
`right of enforcement granted to it under the terms of its license and 35 U.S.C.

`
`
`
`No power of attorney is required of patent owner’s counsel. The patent is
`
`owned by the United States of America. Lead Counsel and Back-up Counsel are
`
`attorneys for the United States Department of Justice. By law, the Attorney
`
`General may select employees of the Department of Justice “to attend to the
`
`interests of the United States in a suit pending in a court of the United States, or in
`
`a court of a State, or to attend to any other interest of the United States.” 28 U.S.C.
`
`§ 517. These proceedings constitute an “other interest of the United States” for
`
`which counsel has been duly designated to represent the interests of the United
`
`States.
