Paper No. 18 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE _______________ BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS AND INTERFERENCES _______________ Ex parte RICHARD E. PETERSON _______________ Appeal No. 1997-0585 Application No. 08/191,981 _______________ 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-Page: 1 2 3 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
