An amendment to exempt small businesses, universities, and individual inventors from the provisions of the bill that require publication of patent applications 18 months after filing. The amendment would permit early publication of a patent application only if the data exists in the public domain of other countries; if an application has been pending for more than five years and the Patent Office determines publication to be in the public interest; or if it has been determined that the inventor has intentionally delayed the patent granting procedures.
