What resources does the USPTO provide to client-applicants when their patent practitioner dies?

The USPTO, through its Office of Enrollment and Discipline, provides valuable resources to client-applicants when their patent practitioner dies. The MPEP 406 states:

‘The Office of Enrollment and Discipline will notify the client-applicant of the availability of a list of patent practitioners who may be available to represent the client-applicant.’

This list serves as a crucial resource, helping client-applicants find new representation to continue their patent prosecution process without significant delays.
