117.06 Correspondence With Foreign Party
If a party to a Board proceeding is not domiciled in the United States and is not represented by an attorney or other authorized representative located in the United States, or by a foreign attorney or agent duly qualified under 37 CFR § 11.14(c), correspondence will be sent to the party’s domestic representative, if one has been appointed. Note, however, that a domestic representative cannot represent a party in Board proceedings. [ Note 1.] If the party has not appointed a domestic representative and the proceeding is not being prosecuted by an attorney or other qualified person, the Office will send correspondence directly to the party, unless the party designates in writing another address to which correspondence is to be sent. [ Note 2.]
