The 37 C.F.R. frequency charts show a ranking estimate for the most likely to be tested rules. We get these estimates based on current client feedback from our exit surveys.

The charts are based on a 5-star ranking system.

Here in this screen capture, you can see the 1-star 37 CFR rules. Clicking on the links will take you to the USPTO website where you can read the full rule.

It’s a really good idea to become familiar with the tested rules, especially the 4- and 5- star rules. At a minimum you’ll want to learn the general idea behind them.

Make sure you take advantage of this tool by spending a little extra time learning the most likely to be tested rules!
