     Appeal from the United States Patent and Trademark
 Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board in No. 11/610,411.
                   ______________________

                       ON MOTION
                   ______________________
 Before O’MALLEY, WALLACH, and HUGHES, Circuit Judges.
 O’MALLEY, Circuit Judge.
                         ORDER
    The Director of the United States Patent and
 Trademark Office (“PTO”) moves without opposition to
 remand this case to the PTO for further proceedings.
     The Patent Trial and Appeal Board affirmed the Exam-
 iner’s rejection of certain claims, but the PTO concedes that
 the Board should reconsider its rejection in light of the
 PTO’s examination policy on “configured to” claim lan-
 guage.
