if this hamfisted grant of veto power to the wrong party were the sort of thing that only every now and then makes trouble for the filing community, and if the trouble were only minor trouble, that would be one thing. But many times the present USPTO practice

close in time to a deadline (not that uncommon). And, just in general, if the reason for the change in representation is because the relationship with the former attorney has become strained in some way, or if the former attorney cannot grant approval for
some reason, an applicant should not be blocked from moving their application forward just because the prior attorney does not grant approval for whatever reason. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p>Has anyone else been required to seek authorization by the applicant in order to file a new POA? When there\u2019s another appointed firm, I\u2019ve always been able to upload a signed POA and make the change without further authorization. Yesterday, however, I
was required to email the applicant for authorization even though they\u2019d already signed a POA, which I uploaded as always.
