Appeal No. 94-2208 Application 07/756,346 Upon return of the application, the examiner should review the pending rejection based upon the combined disclosures of Seki and Tan taking into account all of the arguments presented by appellants. If the rejection is maintained, the examiner should provide a more complete explanation as to why the 90 kDa polypeptide of Seki relied upon is necessarily the same as the 96 kDa protein required by the claims on appeal. This application, by virtue of its “special” status, requires an immediate action. MPEP § 708.01(d). It is important that the Board be informed promptly of any action affecting the appeal in this case. REMAND ) William F. Smith ) Administrative Patent Judge ) ) ) ) BOARD OF PATENT Teddy S.
