Appeal No. 97-1871
Application 08/325,847
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 rejections, 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 rejections are 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 rejections, 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).
AFFIRMED; 37 CFR § 1.196(b);
