Born on June 20, 1927 in New York City, Pauline Newman would go
on to become the first judge appointed directly to the Federal
Circuit, her predecessors having come to the court through the
merger of the Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and the appellate
division of the United States Court of Federal Claims. Judge
Newman is now the longest-serving judge in Federal Circuit history
and has written many significant patent law decisions. Among
her many opinions are Intergraph Corp. v. Intel Corp., 195
F.3d 1346 (1999), which emphasized a patent owner's right to
refuse to license and Jazz Photo Corp. v. U.S. Int'l Trade
Comm'n, 26 F.3d 1094 (2001), which clarified the law of
repair and reconstruction at the time (since abrogated by
Impression Prods., Inc. v. Lexmark Int'l, Inc., 137 S.
Ct. 1523 (2017)).
