          Appeal No. 94-3359                                                          
          Application 07/941,566                                                      
                    Should the appellant elect to prosecute further before            
          the Primary Examiner pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(b)(1), 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 appellant elects 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             
          the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences for final action on           
          the affirmed rejection, including any timely request for                    
          reconsideration thereof.                                                    

















                                          31
