Appeal No. 2002-2071
Application 09/428,451
The appellants request that we sanction their amendment
after appeal (request, page 3). The appellants have no right to
entry of an amendment after appeal unless it is in conformity
with an explicit statement in the board decision that a claim may
be allowed in amended form. See 37 CFR § 1.196(c)(1997). Our
decision contains no such explicit statement.
We have considered the appellants’ request for
reconsideration of our decision but, for the above reasons, we
decline to make any change to the decision.
