A bill to amend title 35, United States Code, to provide a good faith exception to the imposition of fines for false assertions and certifications, and for other purposes.

This bill amends U.S. patent and trademark law to create a "good faith exception" for fines related to false statements. Specifically, it adds language to two sections of Title 35, U.S. Code: requiring that entities not face fines for false assertions (in Section 41(j)) or false certifications (in Section 123(f)) if they demonstrate the statement was made in good faith. It directly affects businesses and individuals filing patents or trademarks who might otherwise be penalized for unintentional errors. The change reduces penalties for honest mistakes in legal filings, focusing on intent rather than outcome.
