What information do I need to provide when ordering a certified copy of a reexamination file?

When ordering a certified copy of a reexamination file, it’s crucial to provide the control number of the reexamination proceeding. The MPEP explicitly states: Orders for such copies must indicate the control number of the reexamination proceeding.

In addition to the control number, you should also include:

  • Your contact information
  • Preferred method of delivery
  • Payment information (credit card or deposit account details)

Providing accurate and complete information will help ensure your order is processed correctly and efficiently.
