According to Wikipedia, Judge Pauline Newman of the Federal Circuit will mark a major milestone next Tuesday June 20th, when she turns 90 years old. I was planning on posting a congratulatory post next Tuesday; but, it occurs to me that there are many people in the patent community who might want to send Judge Newman a card or note of thanks for her public service. If you are one of those people, I believe an appropriate address would be:
The Honorable Pauline Newman
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
717 Madison Place, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20439.
You can read more about Judge Newman’s amazing career [here]. One thing seems clear, the secret to a long and productive life must be an open mind about patent eligibility.
(For those of you in big firms, I suspect your competitors will be sending unique flower arrangements.)
