(42)              Service of Court Papers on the Commissioner
                            of Patents and Trademarks

   Court papers other than a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Federal Circuit may be served on the Commissioner in either 
of the following ways:
   
A. By hand between 8:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the Office of the
Solicitor, located in Crystal Park II, Suite 918, 2121 Crystal Drive,
Arlington, Va.
   
B. By mail in an envelope addressed as follows:
        Office of the Solicitor
        P.O. Box 15667
        Arlington, Va. 22215
   
   While the above mail service address may be supplemented to include the
name of the particular attorney assigned to the court case, it must not
be supplemented to refer to either the Commissioner of Patents and
Trademarks or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO).
   Court papers mailed to an address other than the above mail service
address and court papers delivered by hand are deemed to have been
served on the Commissioner when actually received in the Office of the
Solicitor.
   Papers which are not court papers and are intended to be filed in the
PTO in connection with an application or other proceeding pending in the
Office shall not be mailed to the Solicitor's mail service address. Any
such papers which are mailed to the Solicitor's mail service address
will not be considered to have been filed in the PTO. Instead, all such
papers will be returned. No exceptions will be made to this policy.
