Appeal No. 97-0695
Application No. 08/273,466
alternate option, in order to preserve the right to seek
review under 35 U.S.C. §§ 141 or 145 with respect to the
affirmed rejection, the effective date of the affirmance is
deferred until conclusion of the prosecution before the
examiner unless, as a mere incident to the limited
prosecution, the affirmed rejection is overcome.
If the appellants elect prosecution before the examiner
and this does not result in allowance of the application,
abandonment or a second appeal, this case should be returned
to us for final action on the affirmed rejection, including
any timely request for reconsideration thereof.
