However, if a juristic applicant indicates the new domicile address provided is that of an individual, but does not provide a full name and/or title, or provides a title that does not clearly indicate the individual has legal authority to bind the applicant (e.g., manager for a corporate entity), the domicile address requirement must be maintained, or made final if the application is otherwise in condition for final action, as appropriate. Similarly, if a juristic registrant indicates the new domicile address provided is that of an individual, but does not provide a full name and/or title, or provides a title that does not clearly indicate the individual has legal authority to bind the registrant, the domicile address requirement must be maintained in a subsequent post-registration action providing the petition option, if the maintenance filing is otherwise in condition for an action providing the petition option. In all cases, the examining attorney or post-registration examiner must also raise any other issues resulting from the new domicile address (e.g., if the applicant or registrant provides a foreign domicile address for the individual, then the applicant or registrant must be represented by a qualified U.S. attorney ( see TMEP §601.01(a) )). Protecting hidden or masked information . If an Office action is issued that questions the validity of the domicile address or the name and title of an individual named by the applicant or registrant, and the applicant or registrant provided this information in the hidden “Domicile Address” field, the examining attorney or post-registration examiner must not list the address or name in the Office action ting hidden or masked information . If an Office action is issued that questions the validity of the domicile address or the name and title of an individual named by the applicant or registrant, and the applicant or registrant provided this information in the hidden “Domicile Address” field, the examining attorney or post-registration examiner must not list the address or name in the Office action. The examining attorney or post-registration examiner may, however, reference the title if the title provided indicates the individual does not have legal authority to bind the applicant or registrant. If evidence is being attached to the Office action to support an inquiry, an examining attorney may attach evidence that identifies the address if necessary. Applicant may then later petition the USPTO to have that information redacted. ## Nearby sections - [TMEP § 601 Requirement for Representation Based on Domicile of Mark Owner](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.md) - [TMEP § 601.01 Determining an Owner’s Domicile](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01.md) - [TMEP § 601.01(a) Owners with a Non-U.S. Domicile](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(a).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(b) Owners with a U.S. Domicile](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(b).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(i) Determining the Acceptability of Domicile Addresses](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(i).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(ii) Evaluating a New Domicile Address Provided in Response to a Domicile Address Requirement](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(ii).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(iii) Reviewing General Arguments or Evidence Provided in Response to a Domicile Address Requirement](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(iii).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(iv) Reviewing “No Fixed Physical Address” Explanation](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(iv).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(iv)(A) Response Options for Applicants or Registrants with “No Fixed Physical Address”](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(iv)(A).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(iv)(B) Reviewing the Name, Title, and Domicile Address of an Individual with Legal Authority to Bind the Juristic Entity](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(iv)(B).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(c)(v) Checking the Record for a Petition to the Director to Waive the Domicile Address Requirement](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(v).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(d) Domicile Address Must Be Kept Current](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(d).md) - [TMEP § 601.01(e) Hiding the Domicile Address](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(e).md) - [TMEP § 601.02 Communications with Applicant or Registrant Who Is Represented by an Attorney](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.02.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/TMEP_S601.01(c)(iv)(B).
