Appeal No. 1995-2437 Application No. 08/035,723 102(f) and 35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph, is inconsistent with the determination that claims 1 and 7 of ‘222 are patentable. Accordingly, we remand the application to the jurisdiction of the Examining Corps to allow the examiner to consider the ‘222 patent and determine its effect, if any, on the issues raised in this appeal under 35 U.S.C. §§ 102(f) and 112, first paragraph. 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. REVERSED AND REMANDED SHERMAN D.
