<p class="MsoNormal">With respect to using a secondary account at a law firm for the \u201cclient email\u201d those are not allowed under the rules (IIRC) and they reportedly often get kicked by an examiner if during that process, at least, because the whole point is
that there\u2019s someone besides the law firm receiving mail. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ve all had the experience of taking over a portfolio or needing to communicate with an owner\u2019s attorneys only to find the attorney died and/or the firm closed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That means that we definitely have to counsel clients to use a general address that will always be up and running and always go to someone. So, as suggested,
<a href="mailto:info@____.com">info@____.com</a> and then that the email always forwards to (ideally several) internal people and that someone is always and forever monitoring that address.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>

<p class="MsoNormal">A recent member posted how a registration was cancelled due to a default at the TTAB. The attorney never received a copy of the notice to cancel because the TTAB only emails it to the owner email. To prevent this from happening to your clients,
what do you do? <o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I think these are the options: <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Use an owner email and cross your fingers;<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Convince owner to use a general email like <a href="mailto:info@client.com">
info@client.com</a> or <a href="mailto:legal@client.com">legal@client.com</a> and have some greater confidence that email will reach someone.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. Use a law firm email like <a href="mailto:TMDocket2@lawfirm.com">
TMDocket2@lawfirm.com</a> that goes to a docketing department or <a href="mailto:attorney2@lawfirm.com">
attorney2@lawfirm.com</a> if you don't have a docketing department.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">What are most folks doing these days? I created a poll below in Google forms if anyone wants to use it. First form created in 3 minutes, so I don't know if it will work or not. I configured it to not collect emails and share the results. <o:p></o:p></p>
