How do I update the list of practitioners associated with a Customer Number?

To update the list of practitioners associated with a Customer Number, follow these steps:

1. Complete the Change of Correspondence Address Form (PTO/SB/122)
2. Provide the Customer Number and the updated list of registered practitioners
3. Submit the form to the USPTO

The MPEP 403 specifies:

‘A request to change the correspondence address or list of registered practitioners associated with a Customer Number must be made in writing.’

It’s important to note that:

• Only registered practitioners can be added to a Customer Number
• Changes will affect all applications associated with the Customer Number
• The USPTO recommends using the online Electronic Business Center (EBC) for faster processing

Keeping the practitioner list up-to-date ensures proper communication and representation for all linked patent applications.
