Pickey point: The offics is the USPTO, standing for United States Patent
and Trademark Office.
Probably the best way to let them see your information is to make a
hardcopy and send it to the "Office of the Commissioner, USPTO" in
Washington DC. Sorry I don't have the actul address at home with me.
What you suggest happens very frequently, however the examiners really
are very "savvy" for the most part. They do NOT have to be attorneys
BTW, but they DO have to be "qualified in the field" acccording to the
USPTO "Rules of Practice and Procedure".
