_______________
This application was electronically received at the Board of Patent Appeals
and Interferences on January 17, 2007. A docketing notice was mailed and Appeal
No. 2007-11805 was assigned on April 2, 2007. A review of the application has
revealed that the application was not ready for an appeal. Accordingly, the
application is herewith being remanded to the Examiner. The matter requiring
attention is identified below.
The statement of the grounds of rejection in the Examiner’s Answer mailed
