We were talking with two individuals\u00a0earlier this week about the MPEP and what to expect on the day of the exam. \u00a0This is a great question and it shows they are trying to prepare as best as possible. It also got us thinking about how there is a widening discrepancy between what you\/students\/patent practitioners will use on a daily basis vs. what is provided on the exam. \u00a0What do we mean by this? \u00a0Well, here\u2019s our question:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0<\/span>USPTO<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>has created a\u00a0fully searchable\u00a0MPEP. \u00a0You have the ability to enter keywords, phrases, and search across the entire MPEP<\/a>. \u00a0It\u2019s a very useful tool and resource. \u00a0This version of the MPEP is in stark contrast to what is provided on the exam. \u00a0The format of the MPEP you\/students encounter on the day of the exam is very limited. \u00a0You are unable to search or query across the entire MPEP and instead, must pre-select a chapter and perform a *very* limited search function within that specific chapter.<\/p>\n

Additionally, how many of you use the \u2018control-F\u2019 or \u2018command-f\u2019 shortcut to bring up a search window\/find window in text? \u00a0Yeah, don\u2019t do this on the day of the exam at Prometric. \u00a0It won\u2019t work, and sometimes can freeze up your screen.<\/p>\n

We not really sure the reasoning behind having different interfaces. \u00a0Whilst we can assume it\u2019s most likely the software that was built\/provided\/used by Prometric, it appears this software has been in place for a number of years now. \u00a0It would be nice to see it updated to more accurately reflect what actual patent practitioners will be using.<\/p>\n

Have a look for yourself at the differences:<\/p>\n

Go take a look at the USPTO MPEP (here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Now compare that to MPEP interface provided on the day of the exam at Prometric (here<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n

So, what to do to practice? \u00a0Using the searchable MPEP (web browser) is nice and useful for quick lookups and to help process information rapidly. \u00a0That said, we still recommend downloading the pdf version of the MPEP, and using adobe to perform the search functions. \u00a0This will most reflect what you\u2019ll encounter on the day of the exam.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”4.7.7″ background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)”
