                      On 20 October 2006, the Board received from Thomeer a notice that “the assignee of the                    
               Thomeer patent has sold it to the assignee of the Snider application” (Paper 24).  As a result of                
               the notice, Snider’s real party in interest was under order to show cause (OC) why judgment                      
               should not be entered against Thomeer (Paper 25).
