            Appeal No. 95-3185                                                                          
            Application 08/129,029                                                                      

            Thus, in our opinion, it does not matter whether it makes good                              
            business or economic sense to perform real-time monitoring                                  
            while duplication is taking place.  Checking for errors by                                  
            listening to the signal being duplicated onto another disk                                  
            nonetheless would have been obvious to one with ordinary skill                              
            in the art, from a technical or scientific point of view.  One                              
            with ordinary skill in the art would have recognized that                                   
            error checking can be performed at any time, including the                                  
            duplication period.                                                                         
                                             Conclusion                                                 
                  We have reconsidered our decision in light of the                                     
            applicants’ request for rehearing.  However, the request is                                 
            denied, insofar as we decline to make any change in our                                     
            decision.                                                                                   













                                                   6
