<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Timothy (and others). I would re-file the documents, although I\u2019m not sure about either the Copy of the Assignment Notice of Recordation because the 3.73(c) statement includes the reel and frame number (at least the USPTO form
does) or the Change of Correspondence Address because the change of address is included on the power of attorney (at least the USPTO forms does). We have successfully had a new power of attorney accepted for many patents without submitting either of these
two documents. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Occasionally, we\u2019ll have to do this for a patent portfolio. Our success rate is around 60%\u201370%. We have learned over the years to just re-file the documents if they aren\u2019t accepted the first time. Rarely, we\u2019ll have to re-file a second
time. To be clear, if we file the same forms in 10 patents at the same time, then we expect that the USPTO will accept the new power of attorney in about 6 or 7 of the patents and will reject the same forms in 3 or 4 of the other patents.
