Marc Bohn of Times & Seasons noted that as of June 1, Judge Randall R. Rader is now Chief Judge on the Federal Circuit. The Federal Circuit’s website states:
Chief Judge Randall R. Rader succeeds Chief Judge Paul R. Michel, who retired on May 31, 2010, after more than 22 years of judicial service. Chief Judge Rader was appointed to the Federal Circuit in 1990. Chief Judge Rader is recognized both nationally and internationally as a noted speaker and faculty member in a number of major law programs, including The George Washington University School of Law, the Munich Intellectual Property Law Center, and other programs in Tokyo, Taipei, New Delhi, and Beijing.
Chief Judge Rader is a BYU alumnus, and is fairly well-known in the area of intellectual property. He teaches IP courses at various law schools and speaking on the topic frequently. Chief Judge Rader’s biography is here, but the PDF bio is more entertaining, if only for the smiley picture.
