What is the correct address for correspondence in supplemental examination proceedings?

The correct address for correspondence in supplemental examination proceedings is the correspondence address of record for the patent for which supplemental examination is requested. This is consistent with reexamination practice.

As stated in the MPEP:

“The correspondence address of record for the patent for which supplemental examination is requested is the correct address for all notices, official letters, and other communications for patent owners in supplemental examination proceedings.”

This means that the USPTO will use the address on file for the patent when sending any communications related to the supplemental examination or any resulting ex parte reexamination proceedings.
