Where can I find detailed information about reexamination procedures for design patents?
For detailed information about reexamination procedures, including those applicable to design patents, you should refer to MPEP Chapter 2200. MPEP 1510 specifically directs readers:
“See MPEP Chapter 2200 for practice and procedure for reexamination applications.”
This means that while reexamination is relevant to design patents, the comprehensive guidelines and procedures are consolidated in Chapter 2200, which covers reexamination for all types of patents.
