                                          ORDER REMANDING TO EXAMINER                                                           
                                                     _______________                                                            
               Before RUGGIERO, DIXON and GROSS, Administrative Patent Judges.                                                  
               DIXON,  Administrative Patent Judge.                                                                             

                                                          REMAND                                                                
                      Appellant filed an Information Disclosure Statement on April 24, 1995 (Paper No.                          
               3).  From our review of the prosecution history, it is not clear from the record whether                         
               the examiner considered the statement submitted or whether the examiner notified                                 
               appellant of why their submission did not meet the criteria set forth in 37 CFR §§ 1.97                          
               and 1.98.                                                                                                        
                      Accordingly, it is                                                                                        
                      ORDERED that the application is remanded to the examiner for consideration of                             
               the Information Disclosure Statement filed April 24, 1995 (Paper No. 3), for notification                        
               to appellant of consideration, and for such further action as may be appropriate.                                

                                                             -1-
