What is the purpose of a title report in patent reexamination?

Title reports play a specific role in patent reexamination procedures. The MPEP mentions:

For example, a title report is requested by the Reexamination Preprocessing Staff when a request for reexamination is filed.

This suggests that title reports are used to verify the current owner of a patent when a reexamination is initiated, ensuring that the proper parties are involved in the process.
