"Very professional organization of materials, lecture room and slides. Start and finish on time was always the case. All of my questions were answered."
– Daniel Ersoy, R&D Director, Gas Technology Institute, Des Plaines, IL, a December 2008 Classroom Bar Review attendee
"On January 22, 2005 I arrived in Washington to take PRG's Patent Bar Review class. I came with no experience prosecuting patents, no experience writing applications, and no experience in the patent process in general. Yet, I passed the first time I took the exam, going from zero experience to "pass" in less than six weeks of actual study. I enjoyed the PRG course."
"I am a scientific advisor at a biotechnology IP law firm. For the past several years, every scientific advisor at our firm who has taken the PRG course has passed on the first try."
"What a great experience! The course materials are excellent, the instructors are excellent, the lecture charts are excellent! Paul Gardner should be CLONED!"
"My law professor said I should take Kayton's course 'if I want to pass on the first try.'"
"The course prepared me for everything that had been or might be on the exam."
"The PRG course described the patent rules in plain English."
"My colleagues recommend PRG as the one course that could virtually guarantee a passing score, and it did."
"This was one of the best, most intense learning experiences I have ever had. The high quality of the faculty even made the learning experience enjoyable."
"The treatise is the best compilation of USPTO rules and patent law I have ever seen. This is and will be of great value in practice as an agent and as a patent attorney. The organization is perfect; things are very easy to find on any particular topic."
"Everything I needed to pass the exam was 100% provided to me at the course, which gave my confidence a boost."
"Course materials are very user friendly. They are the first reference I use when I now have a patent law issue in practice."
"The quality of the material provided and the professionalism of everyone associated with PRG was the best."
"Very well organized. Not only helped me in the exam but for everyday practice."
"I found the materials to be comprehensive and the practice questions were so helpful. The explanations were useful and the video lectures really solidified the material for me. Would recommend PRG to anyone. I felt overly prepared in exam!! People in my firm recommended it."
"I liked that they did a good job of filtering the material in the MPEP so that it was manageable and focused on overall understanding of the material – not just memorizing."
"The course was extremely well organized and presented at a pace that was not too fast. Colleagues suggested this as the best course."
"Sample questions and answers were very helpful. Good introduction and overview of patent law. I chose PRG because of its strong reputation."
"All of the lecturers were excellent, well prepared and knowledgeable and willing to answer questions."
"Well-trained, informative and personable presenters. They made the wealth of fairly uninteresting facts interesting. They also were able to point out specific areas of focus that prior exams dealt with and areas generally ignored on exams which should help us with our upcoming study."
"I am a non-practitioner who deals extensively with IP, and this course gives you a wonderful understanding of the patent process. The lecturers are outstanding both in knowledge and skill of presentation. The best overview one could ask for, regardless of whether you intend to take the bar exam."
"The course materials and lectures were very well organized and very concise. The materials are a good reference for the exam and seem to comprehensively cover every type of question that may be on the exam. I was definitely impressed with all the lecturers, their knowledge of the material, and their public speaking ability. Their ability to convey this information to students makes them very valuable to PRG."
"The information was well organized and well presented. With the large amount of information and the various backgrounds of the students, the course is what it should be. Also, instructors were very accessible."
"The course was extremely well organized. Very information dense, but not indigestibly so."
"The keys to the questions and answers were great. The instructors were truly experts. I feel much more prepared for the exam."
"I would definitely recommend this course to colleagues. When I was asking colleagues what they did to pass the patent bar, they all recommended this course. "
"Great course. I wasn't sure if I even wanted to sit for the exam. I now know enough about the Patent Bar exam to know I want to sit for it - and know I have the tools to pass."
"The presentation of subjects was excellent. It was easy to follow the progression of topics since basic, fundamental topics were discussed first with more complicated aspects of the regulations presented later. I had no previous experience with patent law and I found the lectures to be very useful to understand the basics of the rules and regulations. The instructors were also mindful that some students had not been exposed to legal training and would define legal terms."
"I passed the Bar on the first try, without any law background. I learned the PRG materials instead of memorizing them!"
"I really get the feeling PRG knows how to run a successful review."
"I took both the PLI class here in NY and the PLI home course and neither compared to the PRG at home course and treatise. Only after the PRG at home course was I truly ready to pass on my first pass at taking the test."
- John Laurence, Cowan Liebowitz & Latman New York, NY, a 2008 Video Bar Review Course alumnus
"The professors were very knowledgeable and accommodating. By far superior to the PLI class (which I have taken) both in scope and detail. The course materials are great."
"I can’t afford to take a lesser course. Paul Gardner is a tour de force of patent law."
- Greg Wesner, K&L Gates, Seattle, WA, a December 2008 Classroom Bar Review attendee
