Sec. 2.18  Correspondence, with whom held.

    (a) If documents are transmitted by an attorney, or a written power 
of attorney is filed, the Office will send correspondence to the 
attorney transmitting the documents, or to the attorney designated in 
the power of attorney, provided that the attorney is an attorney as 
defined in Sec. 10.1(c) of this chapter.
    (b) The Office will not undertake double correspondence. If two or 
more attorneys appear or sign a document, the Office's reply will be 
sent to the address already established in the record until the 
applicant, registrant or party, or its duly appointed attorney, requests 
in writing that correspondence be sent to another address.
    (c) If an application, registration or proceeding is not being 
prosecuted by an attorney but a domestic representative has been 
appointed, the Office will send correspondence to the domestic 
representative, unless the applicant, registrant or party designates in 
writing another correspondence address.
    (d) If the application, registration or proceeding is not being 
prosecuted by an attorney and no domestic representative has been 
appointed, the Office will send correspondence directly to the 
applicant, registrant or party, unless the applicant, registrant or 
party designates in writing another correspondence address.
