<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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. <o:p>

</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings">à</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> 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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">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
