What information do I need to provide when ordering a certified copy of a reexamination file?
When ordering a certified copy of a reexamination file, it’s crucial to provide the control number of the reexamination proceeding. The MPEP explicitly states: Orders for such copies must indicate the control number of the reexamination proceeding.
In addition to the control number, you should also include:
- Your contact information
- Preferred method of delivery
- Payment information (credit card or deposit account details)
Providing accurate and complete information will help ensure your order is processed correctly and efficiently.
