address is the Customer Number that can be used to obtain full access to the USPTO patent electronic filing system. For example, where one customer number is associated with the correspondence address (e.g., a customer number that lists all of the practitioners
at a particular firm) and a different customer number is used to appoint practitioners as having power of attorney (e.g., a customer number that lists a small number of practitioners from the particular firm as well as a few practitioners who are employees
