United States Patent and Trademark Office OG Notices: 29 October 2002
Notice of Exclusion Walter R. Mybeck, II, of Gilbert, AZ, and Wailuku, HI, Registration Number 39,526. An Administrative Law Judge entered an initial decision on default dated August 15, 2002, ordering Mybeck be excluded for having engaged in professional misconduct in violation of 37 CFR 10.23(b)(1) (violating a disciplinary rule), 10.23(c)(5) (conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice), 10.23(c)(14) (failing to advise the OED Director of any change that would preclude continued registration under 10.6), 10.23(c)(16) (refusing to report or reveal knowledge or evidence), 10.77(c) (neglect), 10.84(a)(1) ((failing to seek a client's lawful objectives), and 10.84(a)(2) (failing to carry out a contract) arising from charges alleging that Mybeck did not prepare and file a patent application for a client. No appeal has been filed. Failure to appeal is deemed to be both acceptance by Mybeck of the initial decision and waiver of the right to further administrative or judicial review. 37 CFR 10.155(d). Mybeck has been excluded, as of Saturday, September 15, 2002, from practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office in patent, trademark, and other non-patent law. This action is taken pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 32, and 37 CFR 10.155(d), and 10.159(b). On behalf of James E. Rogan Under Secretary of Commerce For Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office October 7, 2002 JAMES A.
