                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>Thank you, Randall.  I
                      think calling OPLA is a good suggestion.

                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>David, I see your point
                      about who the PTO will take instructions from, but
                      it was my understanding \u2013 as Randall notes \u2013 that
                      you can\u2019t update Applicant by corrected ADS after
                      the patent issues.  </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>We did record the
                      assignment before filing the POA, and even
                      submitted the POA with the 3.73 statement and a
                      copy of the Assignment Notice of Recordation to
                      prove the change in ownership.  </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I\u2019m stuck:  they won\u2019t

                    </span><span>ā</span> I don\u2019t represent the original

                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>I don\u2019t know why they make

                      that applicant no longer owns the patent.  </span></p>
                  <p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>

                      Here\u2019s the reel/frame of the recorded assignment. 
                      I am now the applicant/patentee (I understand no
                      change will be made to the issued patent without
                      certificate of correction).  I appoint this
