Another year of IP is behind us, and it is time to reflect on what mattered most—what decisions will affect practice for years to come and/or continue to play out in the courts as we move into 2024? While the commenters below have comprehensively identified most of the key moments, one elephant in the room that has been nearly unmentioned is U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Chief Judge Kimberly Moore’s campaign this year to oust Judge Pauline Newman from the chief U.S. IP court. While the case continues to play out in district court and is not a matter of IP law per se, many stakeholders have told IPWatchdog over the last months that, whatever the outcome, the damage has already been done to the reputation of the Federal Circuit, of which Judge Newman is a founding member. In September, the Judicial Council ordered that Newman be suspended from all cases at the recommendation of a Special Committee that includes Moore. She has since been working in her chambers part time, but with no clerks or paralegals. What happens next remains to be seen, likely in the New Year.
