Who Is Eligible for the Guarantee?
The pass guarantee comes with the PRO Unlimited (one-time payment) plan, which includes 12 months of access. PRO Monthly subscriptions are not included. To get more time, contact us, and if you attempted the exam and did not pass, let us know. There are no other requirements.
We then extend your access for another year, and keep extending it one year at a time until you pass. Our pricing page summarizes this benefit; this page explains how it works. See current Wysebridge plans.

Is the Pass Guarantee a Refund?
No. The pass guarantee extends your access; it is not money back. If you do not pass, we do not refund your PRO Unlimited purchase. We extend your access so you can keep studying. Fees you pay to the USPTO and Prometric for the examination are paid to those organizations, not to Wysebridge.
Refunds are handled separately: the 14-day satisfaction refund from your purchase date and the OED ineligibility refund are described in our refund policy.
What the Guarantee Does Not Include
- It is not a refund or money-back guarantee. Not passing the exam does not make your purchase refundable.
- It is not a guarantee that every student will pass.
- It does not cover USPTO or Prometric examination fees.
- It does not cover PRO Monthly subscriptions.
- It does not replace the USPTO's eligibility or registration requirements.
- It does not change the USPTO's retake, registration, or exam-result procedures.
Extensions
How to Request an Extension
- Email support@wysebridge.com with the email address on your Wysebridge account.

- Still need more time after that? Contact us again and we extend it another year, one year at a time until you pass.
Why Does Wysebridge Offer a Pass Guarantee?
Some students need more than 12 months, whether an exam date moves, life gets busy, or a first attempt does not go their way. The guarantee means you do not have to buy the course again: your access continues, one year at a time, until you pass.
Wysebridge also publishes separate historical student-outcome data, with its cohort definition and methodology, on the Wysebridge pass-rate data page. Those statistics describe past cohorts; they are not a prediction of any individual result. For how the program is built, see the Wysebridge study methodology and the Patent Bar prep course.
Other providers
How the Wysebridge Guarantee Compares With Other Course Guarantees
Patent Bar prep providers use different guarantee models. Some offer a full refund after a failed attempt if completion requirements are met. Others provide extra course access instead of cash back, and some combine satisfaction guarantees with post-failure extensions.
For example, as of October 2026, Patent Education Series offers a 14-day money-back guarantee (3 days on its 30-day plan) plus a six-month access extension on 12-month plans after an unsuccessful attempt. PatBar advertises a 30-day refund for any reason, a full refund if the USPTO determines you don't qualify, and another nine months of access at no charge after an unsuccessful attempt. OmniPrep offers a full refund or free continued access if you don't pass after completing its course, and PassPatentBar offers a refund if you don't pass after scoring 84% or better on one of its 3-hour simulated exams; both have conditions. PLI provides continued course access until you pass at no added charge. Elite Patent Prep advertises a full-refund pass guarantee tied to course completion and practice-exam requirements.
Wysebridge uses an access-extension model: PRO Unlimited access is extended one year at a time until you pass, rather than a cash refund after a failed attempt. Separately, Wysebridge offers a 14-day satisfaction refund and an OED ineligibility refund.
