Dear Patent Bar Candidates,

Re: All-New PATBAR™ Program

I'd like to take this opportunity to tell you about our all-new Patent Bar Review program. We started over from scratch to create the best available program.

Our researchers spent several months scouring forum messages and blogs posted by people who have taken the new computer-administered exam, as well as talking with our customers who have taken it. Through this Exam Question Research (EQR), we have found information that is available nowhere else. Since the Patent Office doesn't release questions from the exam, this is the only way to find this information, and no other program does this extensive research. You will see many questions on the exam that you immediately recognize from our program.

We offer customer support while you study, to help you with any questions you're stuck on, or any material you don't understand. We take questions by email, and answer them every weekday morning.

Our study guides are streamlined and extremely efficient, and substantially reduce the amount of time you need to study (see a sample on our course sample page). Our lectures are a fantastic summary of the material, and are professionally recorded by an experienced lecturer (listen to a sample on our course sample page). Our Exam Simulation Suite is the only one designed from scratch to match the real exam as closely as possible. Our Flash Cards are guaranteed to teach you to look up questions efficiently, and quickly navigate the MPEP.

For more information, please call us (1-800-392-6512) or email us at director@patbar.com. You can also read more about these features on The Program page.

Thank you for visiting our website.

Sincerely,
Course Director: David Everett Meeks (Signature)

Program Director

80% Identified and Still Counting™

PATBAR™ has identified 80% of the patent bar exam questions, and within 3 months the company hopes to be up to 90% or higher.

"This was a massive, frustrating, but entirely worthwhile undertaking. The project involved hundreds of hours scouring the internet. This included analyzing, interpreting, and collating the body of information into a coherent presentation for our students."

"With this completed, and with a brand new course including new study guides and new lectures, our students are benefiting from the most effective patent bar review course ever offered."

"Student feedback has been overwhelming. With PATBAR™ passing the patent bar is more predictable and more certain than ever before."

"Of course our company has always had the most robust customer support and near perfect exam simulation."

"And now, with a new course and a new focus, your chances are better—and the experience is better—with PATBAR™."

Statement from Director David Meeks, Patent Attorney

The future is now.
Exam-Question Focus™
... is the future.

PRESS RELEASES

July 15, 2008

Middletown, NY (July 15, 2008) It was announced today that the PATBAR™ organization would continue their recommendation that science and engineering students entering law school should plan to take the patent bar either before they enter law school or during their first summer in law school.

PATBAR's Director, Patent Attorney David Meeks has stated that "nearly all law firms hiring associates in the area of intellectual property and patents will expect that any candidate have grades in the top third of their class, have interned one or more summers in law school, and have passed the patent bar. These are the credentials that form the baseline in current hiring practice."

"From an employment standpoint, the hiring requirements are universally high because associate positions in IP and patents usually have the highest salaries and bonuses, the greatest possibility of advancement, and the most stable work environment. It has long been known that patenting and patent litigation remain strong irrespective of cycles in the economy."

"From a student's perspective the first job is crucial. Understanding the challenges of obtaining high grades is the first priority. You must know or discover how to accomplish this very early on. Once accomplished, you can focus on the patent bar and job interviews for internships, and eventually job interviews for associate positions."

"In the vast majority of cases successful associates at a law firm have interned at the firm during their second summer in law school, and this may be the key to breaking into the challenging and lucrative field of IP and patents. Keep your grades up, take and pass the patent bar, and by the time interviewing starts for internships in the second year - you are prepared and confident for the challenges ahead."

PATBAR™ produces a patent bar review course.

May 18, 2008

Middletown, NY (May 14, 2008) It was announced today that the PATBAR™ organization began selling a new course for the patent bar after 16 years in the business and 8000 alumni. With the advent of the computer administered exam and the posting of information about the exam and exam questions all over the internet, the Director announced that it was time to harvest this valuable resource and base the course, at least partially on exam question research (EQR™). It was stated that knowing about exam questions and exam question topics (i.e., an exam-question focus) along with the tried and true daily study regimen developed by the company, results in a better and more rewarding experience, less study time, and a higher success rate. So far PATBAR™ is the only company supplying a course for the patent bar that has integrated the entire knowledge pool of exam questions into their program. The price will remain the same until January '09.

The Director has also announced that three features of the course, which have always been described as "awesome" by their students have not changed. The company will continue to provide daily customer support for its students (Email Help!), a daily regimen of home study including the use of prior exam questions throughout, and their proprietary software for practicing the exam (the Exam Simulation Suite™ CD).

The Director also announced that the daily study sessions and lectures have been completely updated and improved. It was felt that a brand new approach was needed. The new study sessions are shorter, more concise, and focus more on the basic core curriculum and exam questions. The lectures are now well written summaries of the material presented by a professional lecturer. The lectures are very easy to listen to and cover the most important material tested on the exam. The lecture summaries (representing a 100 page summary of the entire course) are hugely beneficial for cramming just before the exam.

The Director stated, "With PATBAR™ you will pay less, study less, and achieve a higher score than with any other leading program. At the end of the day you have a better chance and a better experience with PATBAR™."
