You can look it up. There are 12 seats for judges, all currently filled. Six retired judges are on active senior status and can take as many or as few cases as they would like. They all have Wikipedia biographies. Notice that patent lawyers gain status and power through the cancerous growth of an irrational, unpredictable, totalitarian patent system shoving its filthy tentacles far beyond the law into areas like software where it does not belong. Therefore the most scientifically literate patent judges are the worst judges on the court, advocating for their own personal interest and dispensing with the law at the cost of innovation and science. Chief Judge Prost and Judge Dyk are the leaders of the rational restraint faction on the Court, pro-patent but not biased or irrational. They have no extensive science background but often appear to understand science and engineering issues far better than the judges that do because they are unbiased. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Federal_Circuit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Court_of_Appeals_...
