          Appeal No. 1999-0221                                                        
          Application No. 08/766,847                                                  

          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 us for                  
          final action on the affirmed rejection, including any timely                
          request for rehearing thereof.                                              
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
