`WARNING:
`
`Petitioner/applicant is cautioned to avoid submitting personal information in documents filed in a patent application that may
`contribute to identity theft. Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers
`(other than a check or credit card authorization form PTO—2038 submitted for payment purposes) is never required by the USPTO
`to support a petition or an application.
`if this type of personal information is included in documents submitted to the USPTO,
`petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before submitting them to the
`USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public after publication of the
`application (unless a non—publication request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance of a
`patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public if the application is
`referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms
`PTO-2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available.
