When can an attorney or agent not of record change the correspondence address?

The MPEP provides specific guidance on when an attorney or agent not of record can change the correspondence address. It states:

See MPEP § 402.03 for information regarding when a change of correspondence address or a document granting access (i.e., a power to inspect) may be signed by an attorney or agent who is not of record.

This reference to MPEP § 402.03 suggests that there are certain circumstances where an attorney or agent not of record may be allowed to change the correspondence address or grant access to application information. For specific details, it’s recommended to consult MPEP § 402.03 directly.
