USPTO examiners have a specific internal process for obtaining title reports when needed. The MPEP outlines this process:
Examiners may obtain a title report using the PALM Intranet (select “General Information,” insert the appropriate application number, select “Search,” select “Assignments”). The screen resulting from the search may be printed to yield the copy of the title report.
This internal system allows examiners to access ownership information efficiently when required for their examination duties.
