PATLOQ is your AI patent bar coach — a study assistant grounded in the MPEP and USPTO rules, with adaptive practice questions and a study coach built for the USPTO registration examination (the "patent bar").
IMPORTANT — NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: PATLOQ is an independent, third-party study aid. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) or any government agency. PATLOQ does not represent a government entity and does not provide or facilitate official USPTO services, registration, or the actual examination.
Built for aspiring patent agents and patent attorneys, PATLOQ turns patent bar prep from a mountain of MPEP chapters into a focused, personal study plan.
