How should a corrected request for supplemental examination be submitted to the USPTO?
A corrected request for supplemental examination can be submitted electronically or in paper form. The MPEP states, “The corrected request may be submitted using the Office’s Web-based electronic filing system (EFS-Web) at www.uspto.gov, or, if filed in paper form, may be addressed to the Central Reexamination Unit (CRU), Attn: ‘Mail Stop Supplemental Examination’.” It’s important to note that corrected requests must not be faxed. After submission, patent owners can follow up with a phone call to ensure receipt.
