                 Appeal No. 1998-0515                                                                                                             
                 Application  08/425196                                                                                                           


                 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.                                                                                                               

                         No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may be                                    

                 extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a).
