Appeal No. 1998-2010
Application No. 08/542,861
Although not before us on appeal, claim 38 has been indicated by the examiner to
be allowable. Answer, page 2. While the Advisory Action dated November 21, 1996
indicated that claim 31 (now claim 38) contained allowable subject matter, we find that the
record does not reflect “reasons for allowance” of the subject matter of claim 38. Upon
return of the application to the examiner, the examiner is requested to reevaluate the
allowability of claim 38 in view of the significant issues of lack of enablement on the record
before us. If the examiner maintains allowability of claim 38 upon reevaluation of the
record, the examiner should provide reasons for allowance therefor.
