          Appeal No. 95-1009                                                          
          Application 07/858,632                                                      


               under § 1.197(b) by the Board of Patent Appeals and                    
               Interferences upon the same record. . . .                              
               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.                                                
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).                                                                 

                        AFFIRMED IN PART - 37 CFR § 1.196(b)                          
                                          15
