BEFORE THE BOARD OF PATENT APPEALS
AND INTERFERENCES

Ex parte MILLO BRANCHESI et al.

Appeal No. 1999-0250
Application 08/374,397

ORDER REMANDING TO EXAMINER

In the Advisory Action of December 30, 1997 (Paper No. 51), the examiner
authorized entry of an Amendment filed July 14, 1997 (Paper No. 48). However, it does not
appear that the Amendment had been entered.
Accordingly, it is
ORDERED that the application is remanded to the examiner for entry of the
amendment filed July 14, 1997, and for such further action as may be appropriate.
It is important that the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences be informed
promptly of any action affecting the status of the appeal (i.e., abandonment, issue,
reopening prosecution).
