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
The USPTO publishes the MPEP; the question is how easily you can read and search it. Wysebridge's MPEP Center adds section-number search, linked cross-references to 35 U.S.C. and 37 C.F.R., highlights and notes, and a viewer modeled on the one patent bar candidates use at Prometric.
What to check before you rely on it
- For legal work, cite the USPTO's official MPEP.
- Chapter exam weights are Wysebridge estimates from historical questions, not USPTO figures.
