What is the mailing address for paper-filed international design applications at the USPTO?
For those choosing to file international design applications on paper with the USPTO, the correct mailing address is crucial. According to MPEP 2905, paper-filed international design applications should be mailed to:
Mail Stop International Design
Commissioner for Patents
P.O. Box 1450
Alexandria, VA 22313-1450
It’s important to use this specific mailing address to ensure proper routing and timely processing of your international design application. Remember that electronic filing through EFS-Web is the preferred method, but if you must file by paper, using the correct address is essential for avoiding delays in the application process.
