[Patentpractice] Am I losing my mind?

[Richard Straussman]

All,

     I filed a continuation (not a CIP or divisional) off of an allowed 
parent application.  We did not file a copy of the declaration from the 
parent application, as I have never done so before.  We have now 
received a Notice of Missing Parts because no declaration was filed with 
the application.  I know that we can file it per MPEP 602.05 (and maybe 
it is better practice to do so), but I am not aware of a requirement in 
that regard.  Am I wrong?  Or is the PTO entirely off base?

     Thanks in advance!
