Patent Bar Exam : The Best Test Preparation and Review Course

Rating:
Summary: Don't Waste Your Time or Money
Review: I was looking for a high-level tool to provide context as I studied for the exam, which I passed. This book didn't provide anything that wasn't already available for free elsewhere and represents nothing more than a slipshod attempt to make a fast buck. There is a need for such a book, but this isn't it. I'd recommend "Patent It Yourself" as a supplement to the various professional bar prep materials to get the big picture.

Summary: Complete piece of garbage!
Review: This guy basically just stole huge blocks of information from the USPTO website. Don't waste your money on this ripoff and visit www.uspto.gov instead. Amazon should pull this book off the site as a service to its customers.

Summary: A good supplement - Distills the MPEP into 65 pages
Review: This is a good supplement to study from, however its a bit out of date now (year 2000). While the book has direct quotes from parts of the MPEP, thats precisely what I needed to pass the exam.. (The patent bar exam doesnt allow you to take in "notes" but does allow you to take in sections of the MPEP.)
The 4000 page MPEP is essentially distilled into 65 pages of the most commonly tested questions on the Patent Bar in this book. Its a great supplement to studing, and its easy to read question and answer form helped me pass this difficult test.
