Personal information such as social security numbers, bank account numbers, or credit card numbers (other than a check or credit card authorization form PTO2038 submitted for payment purposes) is never required by the USPTO to support a petition or an application. If this type of personal information is included in documents submitted to the USPTO, petitioners/applicants should consider redacting such personal information from the documents before submitting them to the USPTO. Petitioner/applicant is advised that the record of a patent application is available to the public after publication of the application (unless a nonpublication request in compliance with 37 CFR 1.213(a) is made in the application) or issuance of a patent. Furthermore, the record from an abandoned application may also be available to the public if the application is referenced in a published application or an issued patent (see 37 CFR 1.14). Checks and credit card authorization forms PTO2038 submitted for payment purposes are not retained in the application file and therefore are not publicly available. __________________________________________________ _______________________________________ Signature Date __________________________________________________ _______________________________________ Typed or Printed Name Registration Number, if applicable __________________________________________________ _______________________________________ Address Telephone Number __________________________________________________ Address Enclosures: Fee Payment Reply Terminal Disclaimer Form Additional sheet(s) containing statements establishing unavoidable delay Other: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CERTIFICATE OF MAILING OR TRANSMISSION [37 CFR 1.8(a)] I hereby certify that this correspondenc
