Appeal 2007-0493
Application 10/289,967
Patent 6,144,380
(1) Submit an appropriate amendment of the claims so
rejected or a showing of facts relating to the claims so rejected,
or both, and have the matter reconsidered by the Examiner, in
which event the application will be remanded to the Examiner.
(2) Request rehearing under § 41.50(b)(2) by the Board
of Patent Appeals and Interferences upon the same record. A
rehearing under this section must also state all other grounds
upon which rehearing is sought.
Should the Appellants elect to prosecute further before the Examiner,
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 Appellants elects further prosecution before the Examiner and
further prosecution does not result in allowance of the application,
abandonment or a second appeal, this application should be returned to the
Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences for entry of a final decision with
respect to the affirmed rejection, including any action on any timely request
for reconsideration thereof.
