How does 37 CFR 1.1066(b) relate to the correspondence address for international design applications?

37 CFR 1.1066(b) states:

“Reference in the rules to the correspondence address set forth in § 1.33(a) shall be construed to include a reference to this section for a nonprovisional international design application.”

This provision ensures that any references to correspondence addresses in other USPTO rules also apply to nonprovisional international design applications. It effectively extends the applicability of correspondence address regulations to these specific types of applications, maintaining consistency in USPTO procedures across different application types.
