Appeal No. 1997-1135
Application 08/375,196
supplemental answer (page 3). Thus, it appears that the
examiner considers this amendment to overcome the rejection
and, therefore, has withdrawn the rejection. Appellant’s
amendment, however, has not been entered. Hence, we remand
the application to the examiner for entry of this amendment.
As pointed out by the examiner (answer, page 7), the
examiner did not approve entry of appellant’s amendment filed
on March 11, 1996 (paper no. 15) (advisory action mailed April
2, 1996, paper no. 16). This amendment, however, has been
entered. We remand the application to the examiner for
withdrawal of the entry of this amendment.
DECISION
The rejections of claims 1, 3-9, 11-13 and 24-27 under
35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph, and claims 1, 3-9, 11-13
and 22-27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 over Shiba or Carey, Jr., in
view of Keuchel, are reversed.
