How should a patent owner update their address for reexamination proceedings?

To update their address for reexamination proceedings, a patent owner should:

• File a properly signed paper in the patent file identifying the new address
• Include a request that the new address be used for all future communications related to reexamination proceedings

As stated in MPEP 2222: “A change of address filed in a patent application or patent does not change the address for reexamination correspondence.” The patent owner must specifically request the address change for reexamination matters.
