CLEAR Act

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the patent law that obliges judges to pause any infringement claim against a retailer or end user if the product’s manufacturer is involved in the case. It protects small businesses and consumers by limiting their exposure to costly patent litigation, while still allowing manufacturers to be held liable. The measure applies to any new patent case filed after the law takes effect.
