Appeal No. 1999-1959 Page 10
Application No. 08/881,586
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 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 rehearing thereof.
