this book jumps into the laws after laws without providing any introductory or even structure. its law after law. no real organization. reading it one by one does not help that much cause there are so much stuff being missed in explanations. I would love to hear more about the people who passed the exam using only this source cause it would be very enlightening.there are some sample questions and notes in text about common questions which is nice. all in all its a hard read. i'll update you if i went deeper in.
This book is a good guide for getting an overview of different sections of the MPEP and providing a layman's intro to what different concepts tested on the Patent bar are. I especially liked the book's explanation about the PCT app examination process, because it presented everything in chronological order nicely. There is also a very useful section in the end of the book that discusses answers to questions that have appeared on the exam. However, one thing to keep in mind as you're going through the book is that all of the topics up until the penultimate chapter are pre-AIA laws, so if you are just starting to study for the patent bar, I would first go to the back of the book and read the "AIA changes" chapter before diving in. Otherwise, you spend time studying material about concepts that are no longer important for the exam, such as interference hearings and "reduction to practice," and you get used to thinking about applicant's rights in terms of a "first-to-invent" rather than a "first-to-file" system.
This, by itself, is not sufficient to pass the patent bar, but it was very helpful to me. It breaks down all the pertinent, tested material (which is a lot) and provides brief summaries of the subject matter, and also real world application. Because the patent bar questions are almost always testing your ability to apply the laws, I found this very helpful. The PLI study guide works in the exact same way, covering the exact same material. I have a PLI study guide from 2007, but due to it being transferred several times to new owners, it is not in very good shape. I prefer this guide. Use this guide alongside the old patent bar exam questions, there are a lot of answers to old exam questions that don't provide you with enough information to understand why the answer is right/wrong.
While this book alone is probably insufficient to prepare yourself for the patent bar, it is well-worth the cost and time to read it. Read this book before you even pick up the MPEP or a practice test. Again, I didn't use this book alone, but this was by far the most valuable study resource I had to take the patent bar. And I passed on the first try.
Poor organization throughout the book make it difficult to understand concepts. Typos throughout as well. The practice questions in the back of the book attempt a summary of the question only and makes using the practice questions difficult. I read this book twice before the Patent Bar and very little of the material covered was tested. I also left this book at the testing center.
This book provides a base for taking the patent bar, nothing more. It goes nowhere near some of the topicsgood for starting out though, gives you the fundamentals and then some. Highly recommend going through the MPEP and maybe PLI if you want to spring for it.UPDATED 9/10Got a 61/100 on my first attempt.
If you are new to Patent law concept, OR if you read PLI but still can't understand some concepts, GET THIS handouts before you get anything else. The Explanations from this book is so much better than a few other named books/programs I had purchased. Get this with confidence.
