2231 Processing of Request Corrections [R-2]
Any payment of insufficient request filing fee should be marked "*>Mail Stop Ex Parte< Reexam" so that the fee may be promptly forwarded to the reexamination preprocessing area of the *>Central ReexaminationUnit (CRU)<. If the fee payment completes the payment of the required fee, the request will be processed, notice will be published in the Official Gazette, and the request will be forwarded to the appropriate Technology Center (TC) for determination.
Any correction of a defect other than the fee should be directed to the TC where the file is located, after the reexamination has been assigned to a TC. The TC technical support staff will process any timely corrections and enter them in the file of the reexamination.
