1. Is an attorney filing this form?

NOTE: If you answer YES to this question and file this form, the USPTO will presume that you are now the applicant's attorney only if (1) the applicant has not previously appointed an attorney to prosecute this application (i.e., the applicant was acting pro se); or (2) multiple attorneys from your firm had been appointed previously, and you are now to become the new "primary" attorney rather than simply being one of the "other appointed attorneys." This filing will electronically update the "Attorney of Record" data in the USPTO's TARR database, and no separate filing of an Appointment of Attorney signed by the applicant is necessary. But if the applicant previously did appoint an attorney, and you were never listed as one of the "other appointed attorneys," the USPTO will NOT recognize you as the applicant's attorney, and you may NOT file this form on behalf of the applicant, unless and until a Revocation and Appointment of Attorney signed by the applicant has been filed. WARNING: If the applicant has only recently filed the Appointment of Attorney form, the TARR database may not yet be current. If this form does not automatically display the latest information in the "Attorney Information" section, please make the appropriate entries, to ensure a complete filing record; those specific entries will electronically update the TARR database.
