2023 In Review: USPTO Patent Bar Exam Passing Rate Report 

Patent Bar Exam Success Rates: Annual Overview.

This analysis presents the annual total of Patent Bar exams administered and the corresponding pass rates.

The National Average Passing Rate on the Patent Bar Exam in 2023 was only 46%. 

The Patent Bar, officially known as the United States Patent and Trademark Office Registration Examination, is a crucial step for those seeking to practice patent prosecution – the process of securing patent rights for new inventions. This field is particularly attractive to individuals with a background in science or engineering who wish to apply their expertise in a legal setting, or those considering a shift into the specialized domain of IP law.

Regarded as one of the toughest professional exams, the Patent Bar Exam poses a significant challenge. Passing rates for the Patent Bar Exam have historically hovered around 50%, with a ten-year average of 47%. However, Wysebridge users consistently surpass this, with first-time test takers achieving over an 80% pass rate – significantly above the national average. When considering all Wysebridge users, including those on subsequent attempts, the success rate climbs into the upper 80th percentile.

The exam currently operates in both computer-based and paper-based formats. The computer-based exam, administered by Prometric, offers flexibility in scheduling and location. The USPTO also conducts a paper-based exam annually at a predetermined location. The exam comprises 100 questions divided into two sections, each with a 3-hour time limit and a 1-hour break in between. Answers are locked in after each section and automatically submitted when time expires. To pass, candidates must score 70%, equating to 63 out of 90 scored questions, as 10 are unscored beta questions.

Given the exam’s complexity and the necessity to understand its nuances, review programs like Wysebridge are invaluable. They provide guidance on exam strategies and essential study content, going beyond mere guessing to ensure a well-prepared approach. For those interested in taking the exam, Wysebridge offers comprehensive resources, including an overview of the basics and the General Requirements Bulletin from the USPTO.

paddock adventures, part ?/?

We were supposed to take both foster dogs up to the paddocks for a free run and some socialisation today, but plans changed and poor Chance didn't get to go. Peppy, however, got to meet the people who saved her life by sponsoring her release from the kill shelter.

Warm fuzzy feels ensued.

So, anyone who I've bored with my involvement in European rescue has an idea of how this stuff works. Romania (which is where most of my fosters come from) has an endemic street dog problem, thanks in part to Ceaușescu's forced industrialization program in the 80s, and - today - a number of other issues that Romanian animal welfare groups are working hard to combat, not least the 2013/4 culling legislation. The kill shelters are frequently violent places, and do not euthanize humanely.

The only reason rescues - either domestic or international - are able to get dogs released from kill shelters, thus delaying the culls, is thanks to sponsors, who sponsor a dog's release and care in a safe foster shelter in Romania, where they can be assessed and then adopted or, in the case of those who need some extra tlc, brought to a foster home prior to adoption.

Sponsors are amazing and we love them. Literally, from ~25EUR/month cosponsor, you save a life and do a little bit towards campaigning for better animal welfare and an end to culling. <3

Here's where Peppy started out. Terrified, defensive, so very smol:

Thanks to her sponsors, she's been able to come to a foster home, where she's working on her trauma/anxiety (...aren't we all?) and she's now more than ready for adoption (third application's the charm, we hope... when/if she gets one...).

Today was so nice, because her sponsors recently lost their elderly dog, but got to meet an individual whose life they saved. She loved hanging out with them, and her friend Lou (even if he gave zero fucks about playing with her today), and getting as many tummy rubs and pets as caninely possible. Which is a lot. Great socialisation for her, a happy day for them. Win-win, I think.

Pictured: pocket rocket and bombastic side eye, and approximately 0.8 seconds before Louis got bowled over. Bless.

Given that so many stories in sponsorship and rescue do not have happy endings, it was lovely to see her get a good day out and a nice free run... and almost as many tummy rubs as she could handle.

Next step: finding that elusive forever home.

We do rag on Tarka so much for his deeply uninspired clothing choices, it feels like I must point out, in his favor, that he seems to have changed his shirt at least one time. This one’s slightly different than the usual black one

THE PATENT BAR EXAM

The Patent Bar Exam is a rigorous test that evaluates individuals' knowledge and understanding of patent law. It is administered by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and passing this exam is a requirement for becoming a registered patent attorney or agent. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions that cover various aspects of patent law, including patent application procedures, patent prosecution, and patent infringement. It also tests applicants' understanding of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), a comprehensive guide to patent examination. Studying for the Patent Bar Exam requires a thorough understanding of patent law and the ability to apply that knowledge to practical scenarios. By passing this exam, individuals demonstrate their expertise in patent law and their readiness to assist inventors in protecting their intellectual property.

While the national average pass rate for the Patent Bar Exam is below 50%, Wysebridge users boast an impressive over 80% success rate on their first attempt.

PATENT ATTORNEYS

Patent attorneys help clients with obtaining and protecting patents for their inventions. They provide legal advice and work on patent applications, ensuring that they comply with the laws and regulations. Patent attorneys also conduct patent searches to determine if an invention is unique and not already patented. They work closely with inventors, scientists, and engineers to understand the technical aspects of the inventions. Additionally, they may also be involved in negotiating and drafting licensing and technology transfer agreements.Average salary of patent attorneys Patent attorneys typically earn a high income due to their specialized knowledge and skills. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average annual salary for patent attorneys is around $144,000. This can vary based on factors such as experience, location, and the size of the law firm or company they work for. However, it's important to note that these figures can fluctuate over time and may be influenced by market demand and economic conditions.

Patent attorneys typically earn more than regular attorneys due to their specialized knowledge and expertise in intellectual property law. According to the American Intellectual Property Law Association, patent attorneys have the potential to earn higher salaries than attorneys practicing in other areas of law. In addition to their legal qualifications, patent attorneys are also required to have a technical background, which further enhances their earning potential. On the other hand, regular attorneys’ salaries can vary widely depending on factors such as their experience, location, and field of specialization.

Damian Al Ghul was livid.

He leaves you on your own, after a month of convincing him that you’re fully capable of taking care of yourself with no help from his men, and now he’s starting to regret leaving you alone as he paces back and forth in his study, green and gold silk crumbling under his hold. Everything in the room is either pushed over or flipped. His hair is a mess from the amount of times he ran his fingers through it. His heart sank when he got a letter—a Ransom little from a long-time enemy of the Al Ghul family. They’ve taken you hostage and want something in return, and if he’s unable to meet the requirements then they’re sure your head will look pretty on their wall. The paper is ripped in shreds on the floor. The doors to his studies are slammed open and out he goes—jaw clenched and everybody fearing the dangerous aura that spills from him.

But you on the other hand hold no worries as you sit on the ground patently as you wait for your dear husband to rescue you. Locked up behind bars, Knees brought up to your chest—humming a soft tune as you feed a small mouse, that had caught your attention by squeaking at the very stale loaf of bread they have given you, you don’t hesitate, breaking it into pieces and give it to the poor starving animal. You don’t know how long it’s been since you’ve been taken, but you know it’s been more than a day. The silk on your body is torn out the bottom, and bits of dirt cling to it. You bring your hand down—palm up. And the dirty mouse climbs, settling down comfortably with bread in its hand. Legs are not straightened as you place your hand on your lap, holding the dear animal softly. A soft sigh escapes your lips, head falling back and up against the wall. “How much longer?”

You don’t know how much passes right after.

But you hear screams and gunshots.

Tried eyes bore onto the door that’s on the overside of the bars. The mouse starts to shake in your hands—you feel it as you try to calm it down by gently rubbing the top of its head with your finger. The gunshots and screams get louder—they’re getting closer and you feel your heartbeat quicken a bit.

The door is kicked open—and you jump. Green and gold catch your eyes and a smile forms on your lips. “Finally,” you say, pushing yourself up with your green hand. Damian holds a frown on his face and a worried expression. His katana is placed back in its hilt.

“I apologize for being so late—“

“Don’t apologize” you cut him off “I’m just glad you’re here”

He says nothing and hums, opening the gate that held you secure in place. His arm is outstretched to you—waiting patiently for you to grab it and you waste no time in doing so. The minute he feels your hand against his, he pulls you closer in a heartbeat. In his arms he left you up your feet in bridal position. A giggle erupts from your throat, oh how he missed that sound, and you shake your head. “I can walk Damian. I’m not hurt, I kicked their asses before they did anything” your hand is brought up to his cheek, cleaning any blood that was left behind on his skin. He leans into your soft touch as he makes his way out of the room.

“That’s my beautiful wife,” he says in a murmur that makes your heart throb.

“Enough sweet talking me, let’s hurry and head on home” You wrap your arm around his should “Me and Perla need a nice bath”

Damian takes a glance at you, eyebrow raised in confusion “Who’s Perla?” He questions.

And just as you were about to answer a soft squeak comes from his shoulder, and a white small mouse stands still. Your other hand is brought up and a finger rubs against the white fur.

“She’s our new pet!”

Adding the mouse was so random! 🎊
