`CPR. §1.56. This IDS is being filed in compliance with the duty of disclosure requirements of 37
`
`CPR. §§ 1.97 and 1.98. The numbering on this Second Supplemental Information Disclosure
`
`Statement is a continuation of the numbering in Applicant's Information Disclosure Statement filed
`
`on March 17, 2017, in connection with the above-captioned application.
`
`Applicant has listed publication dates on the attached form based on information presently
`
`available to the undersigned. However, the listed publication dates should not be construed as an
`
`admission that the information was actually published on the date indicated.
`
`Applicant reserves the right to establish the patentability of the claimed invention over any
`
`of the information provided herewith, and/or to prove that this information may not be prior art,
`
`and/or to prove that this information may not be enabling for the teachings purportedly offered.
`
`This statement should not be construed as a representation that a search has been made, or
`
`that information more material to the examination of the present patent application does not exist.
`
`The Examiner is specifically requested not to rely solely on the material submitted herewith.
