Sec. 1.36  Revocation of power of attorney or authorization; withdrawal of attorney or agent.

    A power of attorney or authorization of agent may be revoked at any 
stage in the proceedings of a case, and an attorney or agent may 
withdraw, upon application to and approval by the Commissioner. An 
attorney or agent, except an associate attorney or agent whose address 
is the same as that of the principal attorney or agent, will be notified 
of the revocation of the power of attorney or authorization, and the 
applicant or patent owner will be notified of the withdrawal of the 
attorney or agent. An assignment will not of itself operate as a 
revocation of a power or authorization previously given, but the 
assignee of the entire interest may revoke previous powers and be 
represented by an attorney or agent of the assignee's own selection. See 
Sec. 1.613(d) for withdrawal of an attorney or agent of record in an 
interference.
