Appeal No. 96-4045
Application 08/441,984
Should the appellant elect to prosecute further before
the Primary Examiner pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(b)(1), in
order to preserve the right to seek review under 35 U.S.C. §§
141 or 145 with respect to the affirmed rejection, the
effective date of the
affirmance is deferred until conclusion of the prosecution
before the examiner unless, as a mere incident to the limited
prosecution, the affirmed rejection is overcome.
If the appellant elects prosecution before the examiner
and this does not result in allowance of the application,
abandonment or a second appeal, this case should be returned
to the Board of
Patent Appeals and Interferences for final action on the
affirmed rejection, including any timely request for rehearing
thereof.
