Who Wysebridge is

Wysebridge is the professional platform for patent careers: USPTO Patent Bar prep since 2012, the free MPEP, IP law courses, and a profile for every registered patent practitioner. Wysebridge, LLC was founded in 2012 by Bryan Doreian. It publishes this reference.

Why it is featured here

Pay for a patent attorney depends on getting registered with the USPTO, and the gate to registration is the patent bar. Wysebridge has prepared candidates for it since 2012 and publishes its year-by-year pass record, which is why we feature it here.

Wysebridge also maintains a profile for every registered patent practitioner, so attorneys can show verified credentials to employers.

What to check before you rely on it

  • The 81% pass rate is Wysebridge's own published figure, not independently audited.
  • A patent attorney also needs a law degree and a state bar license; the patent bar alone makes you a patent agent.
