"Judge O'Malley, who served on the Federal Circuit from 2010 to 2022 after 16 years in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, was the first former district court judge to be appointed to the Federal Circuit. Her unique perspective as both a trial and appellate judge has continued to shape her views on the judiciary, patent law challenges, and the future of IP."
"At 13 years old, she acquired a book from her brother to read on the beach called "Gideon's Trumpet," detailing the landmark Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainwright. Upon reading the book, she declared to her family her ambition to become a federal judge, but was met with laughter. Ultimately, she was undeterred. Despite her parents being scientists, a field she initially sought to avoid, her career ultimately led her to the highly technical realm of patent law."
