This book is written to prepare for the Design Protection Act section of the first patent attorney exam, which will be held in 2024.

The first multiple-choice exam for the Design Protection Act has been administered since 2002, and currently consists of a total of 229 questions.
There is no better way to study than by repeatedly solving past exam questions by level until they become second nature.
After that, if you check your skills through a full-range mock exam and improve any areas you are lacking, you will be able to easily get a perfect score on the first round of the Design Protection Act.

Although it is lacking in many ways, I sincerely hope that this book will be of some help to those studying design protection law in passing the exam.
