Appeal No. 2006-0650 Page 16
Application No. 10/007,613
Should the appellant elect to prosecute further before the examiner pursuant to
37 CFR § 41.50(b)(1), in order to preserve the right to seek review under 35 U.S.C.
§§ 141 or 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 the appellant elects 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.
