                   Application No. 08/514,255                                                                                       


                                  (1) Submit an appropriate amendment of the claims so                                              
                                  rejected or a showing of facts relating to the claims so                                          
                                  rejected, or both, and have the matter reconsidered by the                                        
                                  examiner, in which event the application will be remanded                                         
                                  to the examiner . . . .                                                                           
                                  (2) Request that the application be reheard under                                                 
                                  § 1.197(b) by the Board of Patent Appeals and                                                     
                                  Interferences upon the same record . . . .                                                        
                           Should the appellants elect to prosecute further before the Primary Examiner                             
                   pursuant to 37 CFR § 1.196(b)(1), in order to preserve the right to seek review under                            
                   35 U.S.C. §§ 141 or 145 with respect to the affirmed rejection, the effective date of the                        
                   affirmance is deferred until conclusion of the prosecution before the examiner unless, as a                      
                   mere incident to the limited prosecution, the affirmed rejection is overcome.                                    
                           If the appellants elect prosecution before the examiner and this does not result in                      
                   allowance of the application, abandonment or a second appeal, this case should be                                
                   returned to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences for final action on the affirmed                       
                   rejection, including any timely request for reconsideration thereof.                                             


















                                                                15
