                Appeal 2006-2739                                                                               
                Application 09/918,584                                                                         
                basis for review by petition to the Director rather than by appeal to the                      
                Board.  The question of whether or not the Examiner should have made a                         
                rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 2 is a moot point.  No such rejection was                   
                made and, therefore, there is no such rejection for us to review.                              
                                                                                                              
                                               CONCLUSION                                                      
                      In summary, we reverse the decision of the Examiner with respect to                      
                the rejection of claims 1, and 10-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 1.  We do not                    
                have jurisdiction to review the objection under 35 C.F.R. § 1.75(c) and,                       
                therefore, we have not reviewed the issues arising from the objection.
