prosecution before the Examiner unless, as a mere incident to
the limited prosecution, the affirmed rejection is overcome.
If 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 the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences for final
action on the affirmed rejection, including any timely request
for rehearing thereof.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in
connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR
§ 1.136(a).
