2025 PEB Pass Rates Published

The 2025 UK patent attorney examination results show higher pass rates in most papers, including FD4.

Congratulations to everyone who received their 2025 PEB results this week, particularly those who have now completed the Final Diploma examinations and qualified.

The PEB has also published the pass rates. The FD4 pass rate was 59.14%, up from 53.33% in 2024. FD2 remained the most difficult of the Final Diploma papers, with a pass rate of 45.19%.

The numbers are a useful reminder that these remain demanding professional examinations even where pass rates have improved. If you were unsuccessful this time, it is worth taking some time to review your script and the examiner materials before deciding how to approach your next sitting.
