WHY FIRMS CHOOSE PES

Built by a registered patent practitioner.
The course is authored and overseen by Lisa Parmley, USPTO registration #51,006 — a registered patent practitioner who has been developing patent bar training since 2001.

25 years of track record.
PES has helped thousands of candidates pass the patent bar. Every course is based on what actually works, refined continuously over more than two decades.

A structured path that new hires actually complete.
The 3-step system — foundation, material, practice — gives associates a clear roadmap instead of leaving them to navigate 4,000+ pages of the MPEP on their own.

More than just test prep.
Unlike patent-bar-only providers, PES also offers professional development training for already-registered practitioners. One provider, one coupon, full flexibility.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Firms already use PES to train:

Technical specialists preparing for the patent bar.
Engineers, scientists, and other technical hires pursuing USPTO registration as part of their career path at the firm.

Incoming associates with technical backgrounds.
Law school graduates with STEM degrees who need to pass the patent bar as part of joining the IP practice.

Registered practitioners building additional skills.
Attorneys and agents expanding into claim drafting, AI and patent law, robotics and patent law, or other specialized areas.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common questions from firms

Can we mix course types within one order?

Yes. Your firm coupon code can be used across the full PES catalog. If one associate needs the patent bar review course and another wants claim drafting training, both can enroll using the same firm code.

How does payment work?

When you provide the coupon code to your employees, they enroll and pay using a company credit card for automatic expensing. For larger orders or custom payment arrangements, contact us directly.

How long do employees have access?

Patent bar review courses include 12 months of access, with a 6-month extension if they attempt the exam and don’t pass within that time. Professional development courses include 12 months of access.

Can our firm track employee progress?

Employees have access to their own progress tracking within the course, including completed modules, quiz scores, and practice exam results. They can share this information directly with firm administrators. We’re also happy to provide general progress updates on request — just reach out and let us know what would be helpful.

Can we purchase additional seats later at the same pricing?

Yes. Once your firm is set up with a coupon code, we can reactivate or extend it for additional seats at the same volume pricing.

What if an associate doesn’t pass the exam?

All 12-month patent bar review plans include a 6-month free extension if the associate attempts the exam within their enrollment period and doesn’t pass. They send us their USPTO failure notice and we extend their access at no additional cost.
