The Intellectual Property Landscape: USPTO to Update Patent Bar Exam Again Reports Wysebridge Patent Bar Review:

Raising the BAR on the IP Bar.

The exam would change because of all the new laws. As well, the backdrop in the courts is very fluid.

Some of the problems, of course, is that a lot of the changes are just starting to filter into the books and web sources.

With 1/3 of the Patent Bar exam new, it will be a bit of a trick for the lawyers to come up to speed. And the ones that are faced with the bar will have to do so in a hurry.

Plus it may be that the exam is simply harder too.

Ouch… Double Ouch.
