          Appeal No. 1999-1748                                                        
          Application 08/846,285                                                      

               The effective date of the affirmance is deferred until                 
          conclusion of the proceeding before the examiner unless, as a               
          mere incident to the limited proceedings, the affirmed rejection            
          is overcome.  If the proceedings before the examiner does not               
          result in allowance of the application, abandonment or a second             
          appeal, this case should be returned to the Board of Patent                 
          Appeal and Interferences for final action on the affirmed                   
          rejection including any timely request for rehearing thereof.               

               This application, by virtue of its “special” status,                   
          requires immediate action MPEP § 7058.01(d).  It is important               
          that the Board be informed promptly of any action affecting the             
          appeal in this case.
