RE:

Request to Update a PCT Application With a Customer Number
Please associate PCT application _______________ [identify only one PCT Application
Number] with Customer Number _________ for purposes of viewing the PCT Application in
Private PAIR.
I understand that a Customer Number cannot be used in the international phase of a PCT
application to designate the correspondence address for a PCT application or to appoint an
attorney or agent in a power of attorney. Any changes to the correspondence address must be
made separately in writing in accordance with PCT Rule 92bis.

For the PCT application listed above, I am:
An applicant
An attorney or agent of record (i.e., a power of attorney appointing me is of record in the PCT
application)
A registered attorney or agent named in the originally filed PCT Request (Form PCT/RO/101)
and there is no attorney or agent of record
Respectfully submitted,
[Typed or printed name, signature and Registration Number (if any)]

Recognizing that Internet communications are not secure, I hereby authorize the USPTO to
communicate with me concerning any subject matter of this customer number update request by
electronic mail.
