Patent Bar Prep - Day 33 February 14, 2007
Posted by atharkhan in : Patent Bar Prep , trackbackFinally finished Chapter 22. Phew! That…was… incredibly… tedious! At one point, I found myself skimming the question and going directly to the answers. Surprisingly, I wasn’t doing any better/worse than when I do read the question and agonize over it. So, maybe I should do that on the actual exam to figure out what the question is about.
Admittedly, this behavior was mildly “slacker-ish” but I am very glad I did it because it proves that there is some law/logic to the answers and that when in doubt, you can try and use just some basic rules to eliminate answer choices. E.g. if a question is about a design or plant patent and they are asking about when a maintenance fee is due, you can skip reading it and go to “none of the above” because there are no such fees for these types of patents. You don’t need to read (or make a timeline) about the filing and issue dates.
After Reissue/Re-Exam, Chapter 23 (Design/Plant Patents) was almost enjoyable. Almost. It was relatively brief — only 60 questions — of which maybe 10 were extremely easy. So, this one went by smoothly.
Tomorrow, I will start on Interference Practice (Chapter 24). I am hoping to get to 27 by Sunday.
