What type of address should be provided for the nonsigning inventor?

The MPEP provides specific guidance on the type of address that should be provided for the nonsigning inventor in pre-AIA 37 CFR 1.47 applications:

‘That address should be the last known address at which the inventor customarily receives mail.’

This typically means providing the most recent address where the inventor is known to receive correspondence. It’s important to provide an address where the USPTO’s communications are most likely to reach the nonsigning inventor.
