Appeal 2007-2446
Application 09/817,998
(2) Request rehearing. Request that the proceeding be reheard
under § 41.52 by the Board upon the same record. . . .
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.
No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with
this appeal may be extended under 37 C.F.R. § 1.136(a)(1)(iv).
