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

    A power of attorney or authorization of agent, pursuant to 
Sec. 1.31, may be revoked at any stage in the proceedings of a case, and 
a registered attorney or agent may withdraw, upon application to and 
approval by the Commissioner. A registered attorney or agent, except an 
associate registered attorney or agent whose address is the same as that 
of the principal registered 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 registered 
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 a registered attorney or agent of the assignee's own 
selection. See Sec. 1.613(d) for withdrawal in an interference.
