1215.03 Partial Withdrawal
A withdrawal of the appeal as to some of the claims on appeal operates as an authorization to cancel those claims from the application or reexamination proceeding and the appeal continues as to the remaining claims. The withdrawn claims will be canceled from an application by direction of the examiner at the conclusion of the appeal proceedings, if necessary (e.g., the examiner is reversed as to the rejection of the remaining claims on appeal), without further action by the applicant.
