What is the patent bar?
If you'd like to practice patent law (as a patent agent or a patent attorney), you must pass the Patent Bar exam. Many test takers have said it's one of the most difficult exams they've ever taken so entry into this field is somewhat difficult.
Here is a basic overview of the Patent Bar...
-
It's a 6 hour, 100 question, multiple choice exam.
-
You must score 70% or higher to pass.
-
The national pass rate hovers around 50% and reaches as low as the mid-30 percentile
-
The exam is administered on a computer by the Prometric testing agency. You may not bring any notes, books, or study materials to the exam.
-
You will be limited to a computerized, PDF version of the MPEP the day of the test.
|
 |
Why the MPEP is not an appropriate learning tool for preparing for the patent bar exam.
| |
The MPEP (or Manual of Patent Examining Procedure) contains all the laws and rules used by the Patent Office. It's also the source for all the questions on the Patent Bar Exam. There is absolutely no way to pass the exam without knowing the material in the MPEP.
Here are a few points about studying from the MPEP that anyone who's ever tried it will certainly warn you about ...
-
The MPEP is well over 3,000 pages in length spread out over 27 major Chapters.
-
It's not an easy read. It includes long, drawn-out laws and rules, citations to the long drawn-out laws and rules, and endlessly lengthy paragraphs. As you can imagine, this makes it very difficult to understand.
-
Not everything in the MPEP is on the exam, but without help, you won't know what's tested and what's not.
-
The MPEP is full of legal jargon. The authors of the MPEP do not include a glossary so none of the legal terms are explained.
Many Patent Bar candidates wind up drowning themselves in thousands of pages of legalese becoming completely lost. As a result, they fail the exam (if they ever even attempt it at all). And they never pursue their dream of a highly lucrative career in patent law. |
|
 |
Passing the exam, without the high cost of other review courses or the high stress of preparing with the MPEP is possible.
If you're like most, you probably don't want to spend hundreds upon hundreds of hours sifting and flailing through the MPEP. It can take you a full year or more of grueling studying if you choose this route. And that's with at least part-time study each and every week.
That's time you could have spent at a new job as a Patent Agent or Attorney (accumulating experience). Or time you could have spent doing something more enjoyable than preparing for the Patent Bar Exam.
 |
|
Save your valuable time with a translated, condensed and outlined version of the MPEP that focuses on the tested material.
Here's just a brief summary of our review course ...
-
The course has been offered since 2001 and many engineers, scientists, and attorneys have trusted it to help them pass the exam.
-
It's in an interactive, online format that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet location -- 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, just minutes after you enroll.
-
It's based on a 3-step program that gradually increases in difficulty as you progress.
-
It encourages active learning at every step. This ensures you'll actually learn the material,be more likely to pass, and pass quicker.

Comprehensive, active learning approach
Numerous research studies have shown active learning increases knowledge and retention. This is why we incorporate active learning in our materials at every opportunity. You cannot get the retention levels we get from watching videos or listening to a lecture.
- It’s our goal to help you understand the material. You can’t just simply read or listen to lectures, but need tools to enable you to retain and apply the material.
- You apply what you’re learning by taking interactive, online quizzes that test your retention and comprehension of the material immediately.
- We’ve created hundreds of unique questions to enable you to do this. And we’ve also supplied you with the interactive tools you need. No other course does this, which is one of the many reasons why our clients are so successful.

You Can Pass the Patent Bar in 12 Weeks
 |
|
The PES-System was specifically created to help you pass the Patent Bar Exam in a much shorter amount of time and with less frustration than if you attempt it all on your own.
Save your time and concentrate your efforts on more important things like finding a job.
It is possible to prepare yourself in about 12-weeks following our 12-part lesson plan. Complete 1 lesson each and every week and you will be on track to take the exam in 12-weeks. (We estimate that each lesson takes approximately 15-20 hours of study time - some less, others more). People have passed even sooner. We give you all the materials as soon as you enroll so if you're ambitious, you can prepare at whatever speed suits you.
If you don't have enough time to finish one lesson each week, it's easy to spread the lessons out over a longer period of time. With about 10 hours of study time per week, you could complete 1 lesson every 2 weeks. This would put you on track to be fully prepared in about 6 months. |

Perfect for Someone Who has No Law Background
"Thank you for creating such great study materials for such a great price - I passed the exam on the first try! Your materials are perfect for someone who has no law background whatsoever. Your outline breaks down the MPEP and commonly asked exam questions/answers in plain English. The other course I ordered, xxx, simply regurgitated the dry MPEP - big waste of money. I will definitely recommend your study materials. Thanks again..."
