Our governing statute regarding service provides that a petition for
inter partes review may be considered only if "the petitioner provides copies of any of the documents required under paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) to the patent owner or, if applicable, the designated representative of the patent owner." 35 U.S.C. § 312(a)(5). Our rules state that the "petition and supporting evidence must be served on the patent owner at the correspondence address of record for the subject patent. The petitioner may additionally serve the petition and supporting evidence on the patent owner at any other address known to the petitioner as likely to effect service." 37 C.F.R. § 42.105(a).
