`
`MANDATORY NOTICES PURSUANT
`TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(2)
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Nalco Company (“Nalco”) hereby files its Mandatory Notices pursuant to 37
`
`C.F.R. § 42.8(a)(2).
`
`I.
`
`37 C.F.R. § 42.8(b)(1) – Real Party in Interest
`
`The Real Parties in Interest for Patent Owner are: Ecolab USA Inc. and
`
`Nalco Company LLC.
`
`It is noted that an assignment of U.S. Patent No. 8,465,623 from the stated
`
`patent owner, Nalco Company, to Ecolab USA Inc. will be recorded at the USPTO
`
`in the near future. Patent Owner requests a change of caption in the present
`
`proceeding to reflect that Ecolab USA Inc. is the current patent owner of the ’623
`
`patent, and will seek update of the caption in the below-referenced related matter
`
`to reflect this change of parties as well. Upon completion of that substitution,
`
`Patent Owner will update its Mandatory Notices to update the case citation
`
`accordingly.
`
`Additionally, Nalco Company LLC represents a name change of Nalco
`
`Company occurring after transfer of the ‘623 Patent to Ecolab USA Inc. Nalco
`
`Company LLC should also be a real party in interest in the present proceeding.
`
`II.
