Flashcard Series 1

Even IP Watchdog is lacking up-to-date and relevant coverage on commercial aids to prepare for the patent bar exam. Their exam tip articles were back in 2013, 10 years ago before AIA.

Why Flashcards

There is a strong need to fill the vacuum of practical knowledge. Besides the most expensive PLI Study Course which costs a few thousand and weighs a few pounds, there is a handy travel-size flashcard for $90 by Kim Rubin, a registered Patent Agent and a successful inventor.

The flashcard comes with a 34-page Step-by-step Guide, Post AIA prepared in 2013–2014. It has the best strategy to prepare anyone to take and pass the exam.

The details are so practical, relevant, and important that it deserves an outline. The first part is the sources of patent law.
