Show Notes

In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" on Passage to Profit Show, co-hosts Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart dive into a courtroom drama you probably didn’t know existed — the battle over a 98-year-old judge who refuses to step down from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Judge Pauline Newman, a legendary figure in patent law, has been fighting to keep her seat while the chief judge pushes for her removal. It’s a fascinating clash of brilliance, age, and authority that raises big questions about how long is too long to serve — and what it means for the future of America’s patent system.
