[Patentpractice] Customer Numbers

[Timothy Snowden]

Not sure exactly that use case, but I know that they can obtain a USPTO 
Customer Number. Not sure if the /firm/ using it might be unauthorized 
practice of law ... but I'm thinking Fee Address shouldn't be a problem 
just for notification purposes. Hoping others chime in here.
