Loyola Patent Fair

I have an interview with Jones Day lined up on this Friday. However, it turned out that I got them at my school's OCI process through the bidding. The Jones Day Chicago office seems to discourage multiple interviews with the same office. Moreover, I would see one interviewer again for the second interview, and I feel like I really did well in the interview. Should I cancel the second interview (screener) as soon as I can, or just attend anyway?
I didn't expect to get them through the bidding, I bid them low and wanted to bid to be able to honestly tell them that I bid on them as a way of showing my interest. Any help please?

If you're interviewing with the same people, then I would cancel the second. I have a few double interviews with the same firms but with different attorneys from different departments that I plan on keeping. Remember that firms may be looking at you for non-IP positions at general OCIs and its not wrong at all to keep those options open.
