Bar Exam Resources

• The Examination for Registration to Practice in Patent Cases Before the USPTO Exam (a.k.a the Patent Bar) consists of 100 multiple-choice questions (90 are scored).  The exam is divided into morning and afternoon sessions each running 3-hours. To pass the examination, a candidate must correctly answer 70% of the scored questions. 
• The examination is offered year-round via computer at test centers across the country and on a date and time chosen by the applicant. The USPTO no longer administers a paper examination.
• Details about application requirements and the exam's contents are available here. 

The examination covers the subject matter designated in the source materials, including the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP). Applicants should regularly check the source materials to verify the subject matter that may be tested, as the materials may be revised from time to time, including during their examination window.
