Show Notes

In this segment of “IP in the News” on Passage to Profit Show, we dive into the fascinating story of Judge Newman, a 97-year-old trailblazer who has served over 50 years on the bench of an intellectual property court. Despite passing competency tests and being sharp as ever, her role is under scrutiny by a chief judge who believes it's time for her to retire. Join us as we explore the heated debate over age, competence, and purpose—who gets to decide when it's time to step aside, and what does this mean for a rapidly aging society?

 

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with John A. Brink from Brink Group of Companies, Neal K. Shah from CareYaya and Iman Cassells Alleyne from Kind Academy.
