`NOTICE REGARDING POWER OF ATTORNEY
`
`This is in response to the power of attorney filed 06/22/2018. The power of attorney in this application is not

`
`' The power of attorney has not been accepted because the party who is giving power has not been identified.
`Power of attorney may only be signed by the applicant for patent (37 CFR 1.42) or the patent owner. A party

`of attorney in compliance with 37 CFR 3.71 and 3.73. For a reissue application, reexamination proceeding,
`or supplemental examination proceeding, a patent owner who was not the applicant under 37 CFR 1.46 must
`appoint any power of attorney in compliance with 37 CFR 3.71 and 3.73. See 37 CFR 1.32(b)(4).
