Dear Law School Student, Scientist, Engineer:
Did you know that you can get preferential treatment from patent law firms hiring new patent lawyers or associates? Did you know that you can start out half-way up the ladder to success? Get the advantage that those in-the-know don't want you to even be aware of! The current climate of scarcity in the intellectual property field makes it a tremendous opportunity for those wanting to get in on the patent technology revolution!

Subject: I Passed!

I passed! I know you get these e-mails all the time, but I wanted to
send one anyway. First, thank you for responding to my questions. I
know of other programs where help is not so forthcoming. I really felt
like I got my money's worth from your program.
Second, the practice questions and exam software you provided made the
difference. In fact, I recognized some questions on the test and
automatically knew the correct answer, which saved time. However, the
exam software was really key to passing. Your explanations that
included the appropriate MPEP/CFR/USC section helped me learn which
search terms to use to find the appropriate rule/law. By the time I
took the exam, I knew exactly where to look and which search terms to
use.
Glad it's over! Now I can concentrate on finishing law school.
All the best,
--Chuck *****

As a patent attorney, you will be able to litigate patent cases in the court system, as well as represent clients while dealing with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Patent lawyers work either for themselves, representing their own clients, or for a patent firm or patent technology company. Salaries vary, and generally get up to around $300,000 for those that have been in the business for a number of years and have some experience. Starting salaries are significantly above those of attorneys in general, and jobs are much easier to find.

Mr. David Meeks, our founder, is a Registered Patent Attorney who has more than 16 years experience in preparing students to pass the Patent Bar exam. He has discovered the secret to making the patent bar exam easily passable by anyone who invests a moderate amount of study time. This formula will continue to work with the new computer-administered patent bar exam format because it doesn't depend on having paper copies of the materials in front of you.

Mr. Meeks,
I am excited to let you know I passed the Patent Bar today on my first
try. I have studied the PatBar manuals consistently since January 7th.
There were several questions from the practice exams in the PatBar
materials that were on the actual exam.
As I suspected, there were several questions regarding PCT practices in
chapter 1800. There were also an increased number of questions
relating to Reexamination proceedings (this was a surprise to me).
Thank you for being so prompt to respond to the questions I had while I
have been preparing for this exam. I'm relieved I only had to go
through this once.
Sincerely,
Scott *****

The patent bar is a very tough exam!
The fact is that the Patent Bar Exam is very tough. It was designed to pass only those who really know their stuff, possibly through an apprenticeship with another patent attorney or patent agent (as antiquated as that may be). The pass rate has been as low as 37% in recent years. In addition, the patent bar exam has just changed to a new computer format, and you are no longer allowed to bring in your own books to take the patent bar exam. If you don't study the right way, you're throwing your time away and flushing your money down the toilet.
But be warned: Trying to study yourself, or choosing live patent bar classes, will almost certainly cause you to waste a great deal of time, effort, and money. This includes patent bar home study courses which are just a video-taped version of a live patent bar program, and which aren't broken up into well-defined study sessions. You also need to watch out for patent course providers selling their wares based on pass rates or a patent bar exam chart. There is no accurate way to collect this information that isn't skewed by sampling errors of some kind (resulting in your being misled and misinformed).
However, when done correctly, studying for the patent bar exam in your spare time can be an enjoyable experience which gives you the pride and confidence, as well as the credentials, that you need to succeed.
Do you know how to pass the patent bar?
If you don't, then you're not alone. Thousands try every year, and thousands fail. There are many different methods of patent bar study, which vary in the amount of study time per day, the total study time, ratio of studying to practicing on prior patent bar exam questions, and the selection of material that is considered irrelevant and not included in the program. If you don't get just the right combination of these factors, you're in for lots of frustration.
Here's the good news:
Mr. David Meeks has devised a patent bar review course which will help you quickly, easily, and efficiently pass the Patent Bar exam. The program is broken into 63 study “modules” which only take a couple of hours each, and are designed to be absorbed one-per-day. Each module is specifically designed to help you get the most out of the material by using excerpted and edited sections of the MPEP (the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure, basically the “Bible” of the patent world), as well as video or audio lectures, USPTO exam prior patent bar exam questions related to the same material, and two condensed versions of the material. This program will get you the patent bar exam results that you desire.

Computer Administered Exams
We have produced three new items for the PATBAR™.COM Home Study Kit that are directly related to the new exam format.
The first is a CD (called the Exam Simulation Suite™) that will allow the user to practice the new computer format using 500 questions broken into ten 50-question sessions. The simulation will provide the same computer interface and resources as found on the actual exam. The practice sessions will assure that the user is familiar with the format and skillful at using the "open book" resources that have been preloaded on the computer, including a complete copy of the MPEP.
The second item is called "FAQ Review." This item, produced in question and answer format explains all the basic concepts of patent practice in an easy to understand presentation.
The third item is called SmartCharts™. SmartCharts™ are specially designed tables for a number of important aspects of exam preparation, including "deadline" practice. Each table explains a number of major, hard to understand provisions.
PATBAR™.COM'S
Home Study Program Kit
( ...the Easy Way!™)
As you can readily see from the chart and photograph, PATBAR™.COM's Home Study Program Kit is the most powerful and complete patent bar review course ever assembled. It has more features and items than any other course ever offered. Every item is carefully designed to give just the right emphasis for the new computer based examination.
Beyond course items and features, our organization provides the best customer support in the business. We reply to thousands of email every year with succinct, custom-tailored explanations based on our many years of experience helping students pass the patent bar. We can help you more, faster, and better than any other provider.

Here are some of the things that make PATBAR™.COM's Program (...the Easy Way!™) so effective:
- Email customer support to answer any questions about the material. This helps you even if you don't use it, because any questions we get help us update the course to be more understandable.
- Paced study sessions, so you aren't overwhelmed or burned out.
- Modularized approach that lets you concentrate on a small, uniform section of material.
While there are a number of ways to prepare for the patent bar, none offer the simplicity, ease of use, and quality of the PATBAR™.COM Patent Bar Home Study program. PATBAR™.COM's Program (...the Easy Way!™) is the easiest way to study for the patent bar exam.
WARNING: Any Patent Bar course that you invest in should meet all of these criteria –
 One: Includes active, daily customer support by email to answer all of your study questions.
Two: Has a way to get oriented towards looking up information in the new computer-administered format, such as our innovative “Exam Search Guide.”
Three: Is broken up into small study sessions, to keep you from “choking” on too much material.
Four: Includes condensed versions of the material for you to study, including a version which includes everything that's ever been tested, and a version which includes only what's tested FREQUENTLY.
Five: Is designed specifically as a home study course, and not just a taped version of a live course.
Beware of: Live courses, because they present information so quickly that you're unable to absorb it, wasting your time and money.
Beware of: Courses sold based on pass-rate information. Not only is this information hard to collect accurately, but whether you pass or fail is much more dependant on studying enough, and doing so in the correct way.
PATBAR™.COM's Program (...the Easy Way!™) includes:
- Introductory Video: The DVD explains the best way to use the program, how to get the most out of your study time, and how to approach the test on exam day.
- Introductory Reading Packet and Glossary: This is an introduction to patent law itself. It gets you up to speed on patent law and introduces the topics covered in the course.
- MPEP (Hard Copy).
- Manual 2 - Prior Patent Bar Exam Questions: This manual contains questions from prior Patent Bar exams, sorted by section, for you to practice on.
- Manual 4 - Patent Bar Core Curriculum: This manual is a condensed version of the material including additional information to help you “get” the concepts of patent law required for the patent bar exam.
- Manual 5 - “Last Minute” Curriculum: This is a highly-condensed version of the material, designed to let you review and cover all of the material right before the exam. You can use this manual right before the patent bar exam to refresh your memory and to reinforce the concepts that will be tested.
Program Lectures
- Each study session includes a lecture which runs on average of around 25-30 minutes. Each presentation reviews the most important material covered in the study session. In this way the student can begin to appreciate what is heavily tested on the patent bar exam and where the proper emphasis should be. The lectures are available on audio CD's, or DVD's*.
 
* additional cost for DVD's $195.
