Patent Bar Exam Changes are Coming!

The Patent Office will dramatically revise the content tested on the Patent Bar Exam this April. Students need to know about these changes to the testable materials, and the Practising Law Institute is here to help. We have a free Web briefing on February 25th, 1pm Eastern. They'll talk about how and when the Exam is changing, talk about the materials they're preparing to make sure students are up to speed on the new materials, and help with strategizing as to when to take the Exam.  If you are unable to listen live, the archived version will be available a couple of weeks later, in plenty of time for preparing for the new Exam.
