<p>What he said. One ought not to feel constrained to use the form
96. Construct your own 3.73 statement in a word processor.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear List,</div>
<div dir="ltr">BACKGROUND</div>
<div dir="ltr">My impression [based on a small number
of data-points] is that recently the USPTO has just
stopped recording assignments. We submitted a
change-of-name assignment [submitted it twice!] in
mid-January and the USPTO has just ignored - they
have NOT recorded this assignment. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">I assume that we are not the ONLY ones
who have observed this behavior.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">MY QUESTION - we are trying to take
over representation from another firm. The owner of
this patent changed their name from ABC Ltd. to XYZ
Ltd. in early 2023 [same company only name-change]</div>
<div dir="ltr">The USPTO recorded the various
assignments from the inventors to ABC Ltd. [chain of
assignment to ABC Ltd, the old name, was recorded by
USPTO].</div>
<div dir="ltr">So right now the applicant [and
assignee] is ABC Ltd - the OLD name of this
company. </div>
<div dir="ltr">HOWEVER, we have a signed POA signed in
Feb 2024 by the CEO of XYZ Ltd. [the NEW name of the
company]</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">NOTE -- We prefer NOT to fax-file the
name-change assignment [$50 per asset] since there
are dozens of patent applications in this portfolio,
and this adds up to a lot of cash.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">MY QUESTION - How do we proceed with
the Statement under 3.73(c)? The current attorney
[i.e. from whom we are assuming representation] and
they already complained to the client about the
bounced 'request to change applicant name.'</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">We need a proper statement under
3.73(c) we we are STUCK -></div>
<div dir="ltr">(i) we cannot list of FULL chain of
title [reel/frame] in 3.73(c) since only a portion
(i.e. most of it) was recorded by the USPTO but the
last link was NOT recorded by the USPTO.</div>
<div dir="ltr">(ii) we do have the name-change
certificate but that is only for the last link. So
checking the bottom box [<span>As required by 37 CFR
3.73(c)(1)(i), the documentary evidence of the
chain of title from the original owner to the
assignee was, or concurrently is being,
submitted for recordation pursuant to 37 CFR
3.11.] might NOT be relevant.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">How do we proceed? Can I just
truthfully file 3.73(c) checking the bottom box not
listing ANYTHING of the reel/frame? [maybe
submitting a copy of the name-change certificate
together with the 3.73(c) form] Or should I check
BOTH boxes - the partial-chain with the reel/frame
and ALSO the bottom box of form 3.73(c) and also a
copy of the name-change certificate. Would that be
enough?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">The clock is ticking since their former
attorney is being a bit unfriendly in tone, and by
nature I am not a confrontational person.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated
!! I feel like we are really stuck and there is
nobody to talk to. </div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Many thanks,</div>
<div dir="ltr">Bill</div>
</div>
