<p class="MsoNormal">There should be one master form (or document they\u2019d accept) that says, \u201cI\u2019m the new owner of the patent/patent application. Here\u2019s the reel/frame of the recorded assignment. I

<p class="MsoNormal">Happy Friday everyone,
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I\u2019m hoping someone can give me a checklist of exactly which documents I need to file to have my customer number associated with an issued patent that my client has acquired (after
issuance) so it\u2019s visible in my Patent Center workbench and so I receive post-issuance communications.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Patent issued in name of individual
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">ā</span> individual assigned to my client, \u201cCompany\u201d (after issuance)
<span style="font-family:Wingdings">ā</span> client asked me handle the case moving forward. Receiving maintenance fee correspondence is really all I need to accomplish, but I would also like to be listed as the attorney of record. I want to be able to search
for this patent in my Patent Center workbench and have it appear, instead of requiring me to do a general search in Patent Center.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is the list of documents I filed, but they were rejected because the person attempting to chance the POA isn\u2019t the applicant of record.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">
POA (PTO/AIA81A) signed by Company<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
Copy of the Assignment Notice of Recordation from individual <span style="font-family:Wingdings">
ā</span> Company<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
3.73 Statement (signed by me as representative)<u></u><u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
\u201cFee Address\u201d Indication Form (PTO/AIA/47) (signed by me as representative) <u></u>
<u></u></li><li class="MsoNormal">
Change of Correspondence Address (Patent) (PTO/AIA/123) (signed by me as representative)
<u></u><u></u></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AAU sent me to the Maintenance Fee Branch, which sent me back to AAU. AAU first said I needed a Corrected ADS (wrong, patent had already issued) and then said I needed a certificate
of correction (wrong, I don\u2019t need to correct anything on the patent). Maintenance Fee Branch told me I need POA from the applicant (patentee) to change correspondence/maintenance fee addresses.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Was my mistake filing the POA and 3.73? Should I have just filed the AIA/47 and AIA/123? Timothy (and others), thank you for your advice about simply refiling the same documents
I\u2019d already filed (and maybe that\u2019s what I\u2019ll end up doing). I\u2019d like to avoid this issue in the future by filing exactly what will be accepted so my clients don\u2019t think I need early retirement
