In a spirited discussion at our annual Women’s IP Forum, attendees were treated to an insightful fireside-style chat conversation with the Honorable Judge Pauline Newman, a trailblazer for women in law and a luminary in the field of intellectual property. Judge Newman spoke with Renee C. Quinn, Chief Operating Officer of IPWatchdog, Inc., about her extraordinary career and her life journey. Judge Newman has served with distinction on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit since her appointment by President Ronald Reagan in 1984. Her career has been marked by a commitment to innovation and the advancement of strong intellectual property rights, shaping the very foundation of modern patent law.

But did you know that Judge Newman was until a few years ago an active and licensed pilot? Did you know that she tutored singer and songwriting legend Joan Baez in chemistry when Baez was in high school? While so much of Judge Newman’s life has been well documented, there are so many layers to the extraordinary life of Judge Pauline Newman. 

Join us this week for her thoughts on life, patriotism, the law, and whether she ever experienced imposter syndrome as she climbed to the highest echelon of the male dominated worlds of innovation and intellectual property.
