Can a fee address be directed to multiple addresses?

No, a fee address cannot be directed to multiple addresses. According to MPEP 2540:

“Maintenance fee correspondence will not be directed to more than one address.”

This means that all communications related to maintenance fees will be sent to a single designated fee address. It’s important for patent owners to ensure that the designated fee address is current and capable of receiving all necessary correspondence.
