in that application raised a series of objections (primarily Section 2(d)), but also rejected the applicant\u2019s address as not a valid domicile address. The examiner argued:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:#002060">Domicile address cannot be accepted. Applicant must provide its current domicile street address because the domicile address of record is for a U.S. third-party registered agent (a private
business that accepts service of process on behalf of third parties), which is not an acceptable type of domicile address for a juristic applicant. That is, this address does not identify applicant\u2019s principal place of business. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.2(o)-(p),
2.11(b), 2.189; TMEP §601.01(b)(1). All applications must include an applicant\u2019s domicile address. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(2), 2.189. Please see the attached evidence showing that applicant's address (30 N Gould St., Sheridan, WY, 82801) is a registered
agent address.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">My client tells me the LLC registration service it uses provided a "real" address:<br>
<br>
30 N Gould Street<br>
Suite [omitted here]<br>
Sheridan, WY 82801<br>
<br>
There appears to be a bunch of registrations by owners organized in Wyoming, and using the same address, based on my somewhat crude search: OW:30 AND OW:gould AND OW:wyoming AND LD:true but perhaps they were lucky, or predate the current policy on review of
Domicile addresses.<br>
<br>
In the worst case, my client could see what happens - and if flagged, decide how to respond then.<br>

Many thanks for comments....<br>
