Our philosophy…
Be yourself…and believe in yourself. You have an abundance of talents and gifts, but for some reason this exam tends to instill an unwarranted sense of fear and doubt. We believe that only by being yourself (and for us, ourselves…quirky, energetic, passionate, and data geeks), can we truly make a difference and help. If we aren’t true to who we are, all of this just becomes “another” study program. We strive for more…to provide resources, study guides, etc…but to also provide a framework for your continued success. Being different is a wonderful thing. And it’s the differences that matters. Sometimes it’s small..like the difference between passing and failing is only one question. Sometimes it’s large…like the difference between a personal conversation with a friend vs an automated call center. But at the end of the day, difference matters.

A little Bit About Us
Wysebridge came to be through community. At the time (in 2011-early 2012) when some of us were studying for the exam, we were frustrated over:
-
The high cost of every study program out there
-
The lack of personal attention
-
The inability to get guidance
-
The archaic study programs being used (shipping CD’s)?
This led to an initial complete dissection of the patent bar exam. We realized that every program that was on the market did not adequately prepare individuals to pass. They were either too simplistic in their approaches and missed a lot of crucial nuances of the exam or they were to content heavy (some courses actually stated they wanted to ensure you were an expert in patent law)?! Worse yet, many of these programs were charging a small fortune (and still do)!
Talk about insanity. This exam is nothing more than what it said it was: A BAR. Get enough questions right, and you pass. The exam doesn’t measure your knowledge. It doesn’t prove your worth. It’s a “simple” multiple choice exam. Period.
Starting from there, we began to apply best learning practices as we refined our materials, laying out a course (for ourselves) to study. We quickly realized that to pass this exam, you need part knowledge, part skill, a healthy dose of confidence and a supportive community to keep you going when you feel completely frustrated. We began to tutor and share the materials we were developing with peers like yourself as they were in the same boat: fed up and frustrated with the current landscape of review materials.
As more and more individuals passed using our system, we realized we had a method that worked, a team of individuals who loved to help others, and a willingness to lay it on the line so anyone could use the program affordably. Thus, Wysebridge was born from a desire to help…to help ourselves pass, and to help our friends and colleagues pass, in a less stressful, more efficient manner. We combined our post AIA studies with insights from IP experts and CLO’s, added our love of data and analysis and built a studying community entirely online to accommodate the emerging generation of patent bar exam takers.
