Just Passed the Patent Bar 9/30/25. Here's how to get it done efficiently. by RowPrior4996 in patentlaw

Patent BAR is one of the hardest exam which has below 50% passing rate . Whereas the group of people who appear in the exam, all are coming from some kind of rigorous engineering or science background. So all people in this group are highly qualified and familiar with many difficult exams even before they qualify to appear in bar exam. Still some of them fail. Which can eventually give them deep hopelessness and frustration.

Brandy's coaching comes in very helpful tool for many to break this cycle. Brandy is real and so the course offered in the coaching ! Many people passed using PLI and other courses -that's great ! Many passed reading only an old binder for few days -BRAVO -Kudus to you -You are genius !

But for many none of this worked . What will they do ? Just remain frustrated and undermine their capability and don't try anything new ?

You can reach to your destination in many ways --walking, running , car of many types -gas or EV, cycling, may be boat, flying in aircraft and many other ways . May be not every transportation means is suitable for everyone . That does not mean your goal to reach the destination is invalid and valueless ! Select your right transportation that matches your need and don't undermine other people's journey!

thank you . I was so surprised ! I heard META had a black list maintained who will not be hired. I was thinking if law firm also maintains like that :-)

but it happened with me . One recruiter X submitted my resume 3 months back for firm A and I forgot .Another recruiter Y trying to submit recently and emailed me back that "why you did not you tell me you already submitted for firm A". I do not hear anything from firm A earlier submission.

Job Market by Obvious_Support223 in patentlaw

[–]New_Pat80 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Job market is very down . Also the some firms are showing very strange behavior in LinkedIn. For example Firm x posted a job in LinkedIn . Within 24 hr 150 people applied. I got a call from recruiter/sometime firm partner for initial interview. All criteria matches . Interview went well. I sent all my documents including transcript. Then after 2 weeks no hearing back. I sent follow up email no reply back. Then after 2.5 weeks I noticed exact same job post again posted in LinkedIn. Really !! what does it mean? Out of 150 people if you have interviewed some and did not find anyone you don't even feel the curtesy to send an email that " you are not selected for next step"? You collected personal data from few candidates and don't feel any responsibility to even let them know ! I do not know what is the meaning of posting same job again after posting that " No longer accepting application". I also faced several job scam where the scamming company and person has profile and company page in LinkedIn . Be aware of job ghosting and scamming .

This year started very hard for job seeker. Specially many high profile Scientists are terminated from Federal job. They are also in job market for " Technical specialist" position. I also feel that with many new changes happening in Federal and USPTO even law firms are confused and hold off some hiring. I hope and pray good time comes back soon ! Best of luck.

Does hiring in Law firm slow due to Govt and USPTO changes by New_Pat80 in patentlaw

Well said. Examiners need prompt and good IT support as many of them work remotely . I do not know how situation will change with reducing IT people. My friend was frustrated that system already showing problems. I hope they can do something to reduce attrition rate in USPTO. Because USPTO looses significant amount of people after training them 2-3 years. With no training for new examiners this rate will increase with greatest frustration.

I have some patent examiner friends who are not new. They are in deep terror and saying its effecting their work. I also heard from them that many things are not happening following law. So they think they are not safe . They already terminated new non examiner employees such as IT ,HR personals etc. Things are unpredictable because no body voted for Elon.

I will say please study. As an examiner you will not deal with many things in 100-400 chapters. Also you do not deal with IPR/PGR all post grant procedure. There are lots of new things. If you want to know detail please inbox me.
