          Application No. 09/562,686                                                  

          the examiner unless, as a mere incident to the limited prosecution,         
          the affirmed rejection is overcome.                                         
               If the appellant(s) 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.              
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection          
          with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).
