          Appeal No. 96-3501                                                          
          Application No. 08/172,773                                                  


               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                                                             
















                                          7
