filed on ________________________________.

The above-identified application was made or authorized to be made by me.

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.
