Small Entity Clause Samples

The Small Entity clause defines the status of a party, typically in the context of intellectual property or patent law, as a 'small entity' according to specific legal criteria. This designation often applies to individuals, small businesses, or nonprofit organizations that meet certain size or revenue thresholds. For example, a company with fewer than 500 employees may qualify as a small entity and thus be eligible for reduced government fees. The core function of this clause is to ensure that eligible parties receive financial or procedural benefits, such as lower filing fees, thereby reducing barriers to participation in legal or regulatory processes.
