What is the purpose of MPEP 1510 – Reexamination?

MPEP 1510 – Reexamination serves as a brief reference point within the Design Patents chapter. It directs readers to a more comprehensive source for information on reexamination procedures. The section states:

“See MPEP Chapter 2200 for practice and procedure for reexamination applications.”

This indicates that while reexamination is relevant to design patents, the detailed procedures are covered in a separate chapter of the MPEP.
