For patent applications filed on or after September 16, , in order for a patent to issue with the new residence, applicants must file a corrected Application Data Sheet 37 CFR 1.

Such a record is of importance to anyone evaluating the strength and validity of a patent, particularly if the patent is involved in litigation.
