Sec. 2.24  Designation of representative by foreign applicant.

    If an applicant is not domiciled in the United States, the applicant 
must designate by a written document filed in the Patent and Trademark 
Office the name and address of some person resident in the United States 
on whom may be served notices or process in proceedings affecting the 
mark. If this document does not accompany or form part of the 
application, it will be required and registration refused unless it is 
supplied. Official communications of the Patent and Trademark Office 
will be addressed to the domestic representative unless the application 
is being prosecuted by an attorney at law or other qualified person duly 
authorized, in which event Official communications will be sent to the 
attorney at law or other qualified person duly authorized. The mere 
designation of a domestic representative does not authorize the person 
designated to prosecute the application unless qualified under paragraph 
(a), (b) or (c) of Sec. 10.14 of this subchapter and authorized under 
Sec. 2.17(b).
