          Appeal No. 98-1253                                                          
          Application No. 08/249,931                                                  


          the examiner unless, as a mere incident to the limited                      
          prosecution, the affirmed rejection is overcome.                            
               If the 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 C.F.R.                 
          § 1.136(a).
