Patent Bar Review


“Your course was exceptional. I had taken PLI before your course and had no idea what I was doing. A friend at work suggested your course and I could not have been more satisfied.” – John Laurence, Cowan Liebowitz & Latman, New York, NY, a 2008 Video Bar Review Course alumnus

Patent Resources Group (PRG) is widely acknowledged as the industry leader in preparing students to take the USPTO patent bar registration examination. Here are only a few reasons why you should take the Patent Bar Review Course from PRG:

  • You will obtain the most comprehensive level of preparation that will enable you not only to pass the exam but to practice patent law effectively immediately thereafter.
  • You will receive patent bar instruction from expert patent attorneys who know the latest legal developments affecting the patent community and your career.
  • You will network with this stellar teaching staff; all sought-after patent law experts who are continually searching for talented law school graduates, scientific advisors, and practicing engineers.
  • You will learn the material, not merely memorize it for the exam.
  • If you are currently in law school, PRG's Bar Review Course will prepare you to pass the exam before graduation. Doing so will significantly increase your employment opportunities and earnings potential.
  • You will receive six days of intensive live Classroom instruction or approximately 46 hours of Video instruction, lecture charts, the four-volume Patent Practice treatise on how to practice patent prosecution, and the ExamWare® exam preparation software with searchable Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) on CD-ROM.
  • You will join an elite community of 40,000 PRG alumni who have led their professions since 1969.
  • Projected CLE credit for both the Classroom and Video Patent Bar Review Courses is 46 hours (including 1.5 hours ethics).

When you sign up for Video or Classroom instruction, you automatically receive a copy of Professor Kayton's ExamWare® CD-ROM. ExamWare® is a software program that emulates the USPTO computerized patent bar exam.

PRG recommends studying the materials in the same format in which you plan to take the exam, i.e., computer-based exam takers should use the MPEP and Q&As that are a part of ExamWare®.

Give yourself an edge in exam preparation - register for a Classroom Bar Review Course and add the Video Course DVDs to reinforce the live lectures after your Classroom Course sessions are over, or purchase the Video Course and add attendance at a Classroom Course just before taking the exam as a way to boost your home studying. Either option is only $820 in addition to the initial course registration fee. Contact a PRG registrar at 434-974-1700 or registrar@patentresources.com for more information on time limits and how to register.

(8th Edition, Revision 4)

The Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) is provided within the ExamWare® CD-ROM. During the computer-based exam, the MPEP will be accessible for online research by examinees at their monitors, but searching can only be conducted on a chapter-by-chapter basis. To prepare for such activity, the MPEP on the ExamWare® CD-ROM also enables PRG registrants to search chapter-by-chapter. However, in addition, the search may be done globally to expedite the study process.
