Pauline Newman (born June 20, 1927)[2] is an American lawyer and jurist who serves as a U.S. circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. She has been called "the heroine of the patent system",[3] "the Federal Circuit's most prolific dissenter", and "the greatest ally to inventors with respect to [calling out] the ignorance of the CAFC, district courts, and at times even the Supreme Court".[4] Chief Judge Kimberly A. Moore commented of Newman that "many of her dissents have later gone on to become the law—either the en banc law from our court or spoken on high from the Supremes".[5]
