Sec. 2.18  Correspondence, with whom held.

    Correspondence will be sent to the applicant or a party to a 
proceeding at its address unless papers are transmitted by an attorney 
at law, or a written power of attorney is filed, or written 
authorization of other person entitled to be recognized is filed, or the 
applicant or party designates in writing another address to which 
correspondence is to be sent, in which event correspondence will be sent 
to the attorney at law transmitting the papers, or to the attorney at 
law designated in the power of attorney, or to the other person 
designated in the written authorization, or to the address designated by 
the applicant or party for correspondence. Correspondence will continue 
to be sent to such address until the applicant or party, or the attorney 
at law or other authorized representative of the applicant or party, 
indicates in writing that correspondence is to be sent to another 
address. Correspondence will be sent to the domestic representative of a 
foreign applicant unless the application is being prosecuted by an 
attorney at law or other qualified person duly authorized, in which 
event correspondence will be sent to the attorney at law or other 
qualified person duly authorized. Double correspondence will not be 
undertaken by the Patent and Trademark Office, and if more than one 
attorney at law or other authorized representative appears or signs a 
paper, the Office reply will be sent to the address already established 
in the file until another correspondence address is specified by the 
applicant or party or by the attorney or other authorized representative 
of the applicant or party.
