Bill > S215

This bill aims to protect innovation and entrepreneurship in the Commonwealth by addressing bad faith assertions of patent infringement. It defines "assertion of patent infringement" and provides a list of factors that courts can consider when determining whether such an assertion was made in bad faith. The bill allows targets or aggrieved parties to bring civil actions against those who make bad faith assertions, and it empowers the Attorney General to enforce the law and seek appropriate remedies. The bill also includes exceptions for certain entities, such as higher education institutions and entities that are actively investing in the patented technology.
