Paper No. 21 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE ____________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES ____________ Ex parte LARS CROON and BERTIL ERIKSSON ____________ Appeal No. 1998-1942 Application No. 08/530,254 ____________ ON BRIEF1 ____________ Before McCANDLISH, Senior Administrative Patent Judge, NASE and GONZALES, Administrative Patent Judges. NASE, Administrative Patent Judge. 1On March 21, 2000, the appellants waived the oral hearing (see Paper No. 20) scheduled for April 5, 2000. We also note that the appellants have filed a request for refund (Paper No. 18, filed June 10, 1998) of the $135 oral hearing fee charged to their deposit account on January 5, 1998. The fee history records of the application does not indicate that the $135 check for the oral hearing (Check No. 17328) was ever processed. However, the fee history records of the application does indicate that the $135 oral hearing fee was credited back to the appellants deposit account on April 20, 1998. The examiner should ensure that all required fees in this application have been paid and that all excess fees have been refunded.Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
