The PatBar decisive advantage

For nearly twenty years, PatBar has combined our expertise with the practical experience of our thousands of alumni in order to create world-class patent bar preparation materials. Moreover, PatBar continues to innovate, leading the pack in effectively preparing students for the exam, year after year.

PatBar embraces the philosophy that unparalleled patent bar preparation requires a strategic approach to skill-building. The PatBar Method codifies a multi-pronged approach that allows you to hit the ground running from the instant you receive your materials.

Why choose PatBar?

We understand that there is a dizzying array of patent bar study material. Many of our competitors have elected to take an Ivory Tower approach to instruction, inundating their clients with an overwhelming volume of material. The reality is that this academic approach is inefficient, unnecessary and often deleterious, diverting their clients' attention from the core strategies and techniques that you require to pass the exam.

PatBar offers detailed, customized and hand-selected materials, broken down into concise, easily digestible modules and summaries. You cannot learn the MPEP by rote memorization; only the PatBar Method promotes your mastery of the MPEP.

Only PatBar includes previous and current exam questions, meticulously culled from recent test-takers and correlated to the materials in your study sessions. The benefit cannot be overstated.

PatBar's proprietary Exam Simulation Suite virtually duplicates your actual experience on exam day, up to and including a searchable edition of the MPEP. Others have tried to copy our software. With PatBar, you get it right.

Audio CDs of the PatBar study materials allow you total immersion in patent law any time, anywhere. Flash cards allow you to learn to quickly find material in the MPEP on exam day for maximum proficiency.

See the Program Details section of our website for more information.

We view your success as our success. With that in mind, you are never in this process alone. The PatBar course is dynamic. We monitor and respond to ever-changing testing trends. We analyze this data and dynamically update our course so you are never left in the dark. While you are busy preparing for the exam, we are continually watching for new trends in testing emphasis and for new questions.

Subject: I passed!

David,

I just wanted to say "thank you" for the good advice and structured approach in overcoming the patent exam hurdle. I took the exam a little over a week ago and passed on my first attempt. The information you provided was a wonderful introduction to the various subject areas tested on the exam, but the real learning was in applying "lessons learned" via the practice exams. I can't thank you enough!

Sincerely,

Mike

Subject: Passed the exam

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

Subject: Very Satisfied with Customer Service

I lost my Study Guide Volume 1 while traveling last weekend. I was very concerned about replacing it, however, when I called PatBar the customer service representative immediately offered to ship a replacement free of charge. The service was so refreshing and completely put me at ease. Not only that, the book arrived the very next day allowing me to get right back to my preparation. I just wanted to send along a thank you and hope that you continue to extend this high level of service to your other customers. You've left me quite satisfied.

Best regards,

Andrew

Subject: Thank You!

Mr. Meeks:

I am so very proud to announce that I passed the Patent Bar today on my very first attempt!!!!

Your materials were instrumental in my success for two reasons: 1) The materials are precisely condensed to focus on parts of the MPEP that will most likely be tested and 2) the test taking software really allowed me to sharpen my test taking skills. I reviewed the materials and took the simulated exams multiple times. I am living proof that with the tools you provide and some dedication, it can be done...

Keep up the good work!
