About the Patent Education Series ™

Countless individuals have passed the Patent Bar Exam with the aid of the Patent Education Series™ review course materials since 2001.

A growing number of attorneys, scientists, engineers, and law students prefer our independent study program to live courses.  Our Patent Bar Review course features an interactive, online members area, complete with everything you need to help you pass the exam. We focus on the tested materials and on providing you with a good user experience.

Our materials were put together with a concrete start and end strategy in mind. A gradual increase in the complexity of the material eases you into the details of patent law.

Active learning exercises increase your retention as opposed to passively watching a video or reading a manual. Every step of the course has been planned out to maximize your learning so you can pass the exam as quickly as your schedule allows it.

We’ve evolved our course materials from a home study program to an online interactive program. We were the first to implement an online component to our materials. Since the course is completely online, it enables us to implement updates and new study materials much more quickly and easily.

The online training area for members focuses on active learning with interactive, mobile-friendly quizzes and easy-to-use study materials. E-learning has evolved past just online video or downloadable text and our online course makes the most of the new technology.

We have a remarkable record of helping people pass the Patent Bar exam and truly care about your future.  Review our success stories from previous clients to hear what they have to say about our course materials.

“Passed in 3 Months!”

“Just wanted to contact IP Enterprises and inform you guys that I passed the Patent Bar today. After 3 months of studying and hardwork, I want to thank you for the materials. The material not only prepares you for the test but provides an understanding of Patent prosecution.

Thanks again.”

Scott Parmley created the scoring capabilities for the elearning course from the ground up.  This has added significant value for our clients as now they can track their progress through the course every step of the way.

Although we do not publish an official pass rate, of our clients who actually complete our course as recommended, we have seen zero failures.  The Score Keeper application developed by Scott allow clients to view every quiz and test score as well as visualize their progress.  Clients may also review questions they have answered wrong so they can hone in on what they’re having the most trouble with.

Elearning courses have progressed far beyond simply showing text and videos online and with Scott’s help we’ve been able to far surpass what many other online courses attempt to accomplish.
