Where should the copy of the reexamination request be served to the patent owner?

The copy of the reexamination request must be served to the patent owner’s official correspondence address. MPEP 2220 specifies:

“The service must be made on the patent owner’s correspondence address as indicated in 37 CFR 1.33(c).“

This means that the third-party requester must send the copy of the request to the address that the USPTO has on file for official correspondence with the patent owner. It’s important to use the correct address to ensure proper service and avoid potential issues with the reexamination process.
