Before ADAMS, MILLS, and GREEN, Administrative Patent Judges.
GREEN, Administrative Patent Judge.
VACATUR and REMAND TO THE EXAMINER
On consideration of the record we find this case is not in condition for
a decision on appeal. For the reasons that follow, we vacate1 the pending
rejections and remand the application to the examiner to consider the
following issues and to take appropriate action.
1 Lest there be any misunderstanding, the term “vacate” in this context
means to set aside or to void. When the Board vacates an examiner’s
rejection, the rejection is set aside and no longer exists.
