WALTZ, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is an appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the
examiner’s refusal to allow claims 52 through 79 as presented
in the amendment subsequent to the final rejection (see the
amendment dated May 22, 1997, Paper No. 26, entered as per the
Advisory Action dated June 6, 1997, Paper No. 27). Claims1
52-79 are the only claims remaining in this application.
Although newly added claims 52-79 were physically entered as specified in the1
Advisory Action of Paper No. 27, we note that the part of the amendment of Paper No. 26
which cancelled claims 1-10, 19-27, 32-48, 50 and 51 was never physically entered. Upon
the return of this application to the jurisdiction of the examiner, the examiner should
rectify this error.
