We invited Judge Newman to speak at our annual Life Sciences program at IPWatchdog Studios, which gave Judge Newman a platform to tell her side of the story in her own words and to discuss what the Federal Circuit is doing. So powerful were her comments that at least several in the audience were seen shedding a tear, and she received a hearty standing ovation. “My colleagues decided in some secret procedure, the nature of which I still don’t know, that I am physically disabled and mentally incompetent, and they told me so, and that I would hear no more cases. As you can imagine, I protested, and after I filed suit in the district court to raise the Constitutional issue, they withdrew the charge of disability, physical or mental, but they didn’t withdraw the penalty, which is still in effect.”
