Congratulations to my friend and colleague Kimberly Moore who late last week was nominated for a seat on the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. A few Patent commentators have already complimented her patent law scholarship and reputation here and here. Although progress on Circuit Court nominations are likely to be pretty dicey between now and November, given Kimberly's credentials and temperament, I can't imagine that she will be a controversial or difficult confirmation.

She is a great friend, colleague, and scholar and I am just delighted for her that this well-deserved honor has come about.
