“A chief judge of the court observed, ‘there can be no doubt that Judge Newman is the heroine of the patent system….'” – Issa Bill H. R. 10026, the “Honoring Circuit Judge Pauline Newman Act of 2026”Representative Darrell Issa (R-CA), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, has introduced a bill to designate courtroom 201 at the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building located at 717 Madison Place NW, Washington, DC, as the “Pauline Newman Courtroom”. Room 201 is the main courtroom of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). Newman, who turned 99 in June, has been in a bitter battle with CAFC Chief Judge, Kimberly Moore, since April 2023. In addition to naming the main CAFC courtroom after Newman, the bill specifies that “[a]ny reference in a law, map, regulation, document, paper, or other record of the United States to Courtroom 201 at the Howard T. Markey National Courts Building referred to in subsection (a) shall be deemed to be a reference to the ‘Pauline Newman Courtroom.’”
