VerifiedYou should only list the patents/applications listed in the double patenting rejection. Alternatively, you can amend the claims to distinguish one application from the claims of the other and provide arguments as to why the rejection is no longer valid or, if you feel the double patenting rejection is in error, you can provide arguments explaining why the rejection is in error.
Please let me know if you have any other questions about my reply or in general. I'll be glad to answer them.
If I've answered your question fully I would greatly appreciate a 3-5 star (hopefully 5) rating at the top right of this chat box ★★★★★ and hit "Submit." If the star rating does not show, please reply "5 stars" (however many you are leaving from 3-5) or "thank you" so I can submit it manually to the site for credit. That is the only way I get paid by the site for my time replying to the inquiry as I am a practicing licensed attorney and not an employee of this website. It costs you nothing to give a rating.Jackie Schwartz, Judge
