the name of the microchip company on the chip itself.

How do I write a letter to a newspaper?
To send a letter to the editor of one or all of the local newspapers, write
to the email addresses listed above or mail directly to the mailing address
of the newspaper. They prefer letters of 300 words or less, and letters must
be signed and include an address or phone number for verification. Each letter
is important for letting them know what readers think. They print very few
letters, so do not be discouraged if your letter is not chosen for publication.
Your letter may appear in the next issue of the newspaper. It is acceptable
to send the same letter to more than one newspaper.
