          Appeal No. 2000-0207                                                        
          Application 08/892,836                                                      



               The copy of Claim 28 as submitted in Appellants’ Brief and             
          indicated by the examiner to be a correct copy does not appear to           
          agree with the claim presented by appellants in their amendment             
          filed on June 2, 1997 in Paper No. 11.  The first two lines of              
          part (c) should read as follows: “c) a first uppermost cutting              
          level comprising superabrasive gains and successive uppermost               
          cutting levels among the plurality of cutting levels of each                
          tooth;”.                                                                    
               Accordingly, it is                                                     
                    ORDERED that the application is remanded to the                   
          Examiner for the following matters:                                         
               (1) consideration of the IDS (Paper No. 18) in accordance              
          with the pertinent rules;                                                   
               (2) consideration of the Declaration (attached to                      
          Paper No. 11);                                                              
               (3) consideration of the petition to change inventorship               
          (Paper No. 14);                                                             
               (4) appropriate entry of Amendment B (Paper No. 11);                   
               (5) correction of the appendix of claims on appeal so as to            
          include a correct copy of appealed claim 28; and                            
               (6) for such further action as may be appropriate.                     

                                          2
