<p>Yes but over and over again we have all counseled that it is a Big Mistake to take a Power of Attorney from an inventor if the inventor is not the same as the client (the company)? What you do not want is an inventor who might TYFNIL allege that you took
some action that was not in the inventor's best interest?<o:p></o:p></p>

issuance) so it\u2019s visible in my Patent Center workbench and so I receive post-issuance communications.

is really all I need to accomplish, but I would also like to be listed as the attorney of record. I want to be able to search for this patent in my Patent Center workbench and have it appear, instead of requiring me to do a general search in Patent Center.

of correction (wrong, I don\u2019t need to correct anything on the patent). Maintenance Fee Branch told me I need POA from the applicant (patentee) to change correspondence/maintenance fee addresses.

I\u2019d already filed (and maybe that\u2019s what I\u2019ll end up doing). I\u2019d like to avoid this issue in the future by filing exactly what will be accepted so my clients don\u2019t think I need early retirement
