                 Appeal 2007-0381                                                                                   
                 Application 09/934,878                                                                             

                 considered by the Examiner in the Supplemental Examiner’s Answer,                                  
                 Appellants would have been required to either request reopening of                                 
                 prosecution before the Examiner or file a Reply Brief to continue on Appeal.                       
                       In the instant case where the evidence currently remains non-entered,                        
                 the Supplemental Answer appears to be a mislabeled Advisory Action                                 
                 informing Appellants of the entry status of the Exhibit without otherwise                          
                 changing the preceding Answer (Supplemental Examiner’s Answer 6).                                  
                 Appellants’ Reply thereto appears to be a request for reconsideration of the                       
                 non-entry determination.                                                                           
                       We return this application to the jurisdiction of the involved                               
                 Technology Center and the Examiner in order for the appropriate Office                             
                 Official(s) to consider and prepare an appropriate response to the Reply                           
                 filed February17, 2006, and to otherwise clarify the record as may be                              
                 necessary in light of the Supplemental Examiner’s Answer, the Reply                                
                 thereto, and the above.                                                                            















                                                         3
