Appeal No. 95-3185
Application 08/129,029
The request for rehearing was not received by the Board until
December 1, 1998.
The applicants make four arguments in the request for
rehearing. First, it is said that the applicants "disagree
with the Board’s characterization of the Yamaguchi reference
as disclosing a disk duplicating system which records signals
read from the master disk, presumably in compressed form, onto
another disk" (Request at 2). However, nowhere in the
original appeal brief or reply brief did the applicants
specifically argue that Yamaguchi’s disk mastering system does
not reproduce recorded signals in compressed form for direct
recordation onto another disk. What the applicants did argue
was that Yamaguchi does not disclose reproduction of signals
from both the master and the copy disk, and that the Yamaguchi
apparatus does not reproduce signals from the copy disk.
Thus, no argument of the applicants in this regard was
overlooked. In any event, arguments not specifically raised
by the applicants in the appeal or reply briefs are not at
issue, are not before us, and are considered waived.
