          Appeal No. 95-2502                                                          
          Application No. 07/763,625                                                  

               application will be remanded to the examiner. . . .                    
                    (2) Request that the application be reheard                       
               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 rehearing thereof.
