Appeal No. 2003-2062
Application 09/853,568
Regarding any affirmed rejection, 37 CFR § 1.197(b) provides:
(b) Appellant my file a single request for rehearing
within two months from the date of the original decision . .
. .
The effective date of this decision is deferred until
conclusion of the proceedings 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
Appeals and Interferences for final action on the affirmed
rejections, including any timely request for rehearing thereof.
This application, by virtue of its “specials” status,
requires immediate action, see MPEP § 708.01 (Eighth Edition,
Revised August 2001). Further, it is important that the Board of
Patent Appeals and Interferences be promptly informed of any
action affecting the appeal in this case.
