1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of time and money, April 8, 2006

By 

Regular Joe "Regular Joe" (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patent Bar Exam Prep Workbook (Plastic Comb)

I bought it and now I regret it. It is useless. Buy the Aspen Publishers book by Mueller. That's all you need. Perhaps a horn book also. But, the Aspen book should do with a lot of practice tests. Stick to patent law to pass the test. You don't need the whole IP universe. And, once again, this book is a waste. I thought of suing to get my money back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive Prep Course, June 14, 2006

By 

Joe Law (Atlanta) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Patent Bar Exam Prep Workbook (Plastic Comb)

Unlike some "Regular Joe's", I believe this prep course is very comprehensive and useful. If you only buy the workbook, you are doing yourself a tremendous disservice. It is intended to be used with the Guidebooks. PES also offers audio CD's and a CD PTO simulator that includes 6 practice exams, comprised of previous Patent Bar questions. There is a 100 page glossary of terms included in the set, so you can learn the language of patent law. Furthermore, an additional handbook that covers patent basics, which includes 9 modules and quizzes on patent basics is also available.

Additionally, there customer service is excellent. I have emailed them numerous times to ask questions about the material and always recieve a prompt, courteous response within 24 hours. This course is intended to be a 16 week course, however, I am preparing on a 6 week time frame and feel as if this course is very beneficial in helping me to gain a complete understanding of patent law.
