"I wanted to let you know that I passed the patent bar! PRG's review course was worth every dime. I knew all of the patent attorneys I spoke with couldn't be wrong; your course really is the ultimate learning tool." Dave Waters, Attorney at Law, Wilmington, NC EXAMWARE®—YOUR SECRET WEAPON PRG’s ExamWare® patent exam preparation software is a critical and invaluable component of our Patent Bar Review course, giving you every possible edge to pass the exam. A database of almost 2,000 exam Q&As (twice as many as PLI!), covering all past and current exam topics still tested by the USPTO and organized based on subject matter. Q&As that have all been corrected and revised as needed to make them consistent with the currently tested statute, rules, and MPEP (USPTO Manual of Patent Examining Procedure) revisions. Access to both study modes and a simulated exam mode, consisting of questions that are randomly generated, but which reflect the average frequency of subject appearance on past exams. Simulated exams that are automatically timed on the user’s computer, as is done similarly on the actual USPTO computer- based exam. The rationale behind each correct answer, as well as explanations of why each of the other answers are incorrect. For each Q&A, hyperlinks to the relevant patent statute, patent rules, and MPEP sections and subsections. A graphical score analysis tool that allows you to easily identify subject areas where you need to focus your studying based on your practice exam results. 1725 Jamieson Avenue, Alexandria, VA 22314 (703) 682-4860 • www.patentresources.com PRST STANDARD U.S. POSTAGE PAID PERMIT #273 ANNAPOLIS, MD Register online now at www.patentresources.com!
