Broadband Adoption Act of 2015 Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to direct the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to adopt a final rule establishing support under the Universal Service Fund Lifeline Assistance Program for qualifying low-income consumers in urban and rural areas to purchase broadband Internet access service at reduced charges by reimbursing participating providers for each such consumer served. Requires the program to allow qualifying consumers to elect to apply support from the Lifeline program to basic telephone service, voice telephony service, or broadband Internet access service, regardless of whether the service is purchased as a stand-alone service or in a bundle. Directs the FCC to consult with the federal-state joint board on universal service regarding ways to encourage states to develop programs in conjunction with the Lifeline program. Requires the program to be technology neutral to promote competition from service providers. Requires participating broadband Internet access service providers to obtain FCC authorization to participate in the Lifeline program, but a provider is not required to be an eligible telecommunications carrier to receive support under the program. Directs the FCC to: (1) adopt regulations to prevent receipt of duplicative support under the Lifeline program, and (2) establish a national database to determine consumer eligibility.

        including those producing auto parts, electrical appliances, 
        medicines, tools, toys, office equipment, clothing, and many 
        other products;
            (5) ties have been established between counterfeiting and 
        terrorist organizations that use the sale of counterfeit goods 
        to raise and launder money;
            (6) ongoing counterfeiting of manufactured goods poses a 
        widespread threat to public health and safety; and
            (7) strong domestic criminal remedies against 
        counterfeiting will permit the United States to seek stronger 
        anticounterfeiting provisions in bilateral and international 
        agreements with trading partners.

            (4) Section 2320 is further amended--
                    (A) by redesignating subsection (f) as subsection

                    (B) by inserting after subsection (e) the 
                following:
    ``(f)(1) In determining whether a particular mark is a `famous 
mark' under this section, the court may consider information, data, 
testimony, and documentation regarding factors such as, but not limited 
to--
            ``(A) the degree of inherent or acquired distinctiveness of 
        the mark;
            ``(B) the duration and extent of use of the mark;
            ``(C) the duration and extent of advertising and publicity 
        of the mark;
            ``(D) the geographical extent of the trading area in which 
        the mark is used;
            ``(E) the channels of trade in which the mark is used;

        particular, the extent to which the mark has been recognized as 
        being famous by Federal or State courts or administrative 
        authorities.
    ``(2) In order to qualify as a famous mark under this section, the 
mark must be registered on the principal register of the United States 
Patent and Trademark Office under section 1 of the Lanham Act.
    ``(3) The United States shall bear both the burden of proof and 
persuasion with respect to the determination of whether a particular 
mark is a famous mark under this section. Evidence, in the form of a 
certified copy of a published court or administrative opinion, of a 
prior determination, on the merits, by a Federal or State court or 
administrative authority, holding that a particular mark is a famous 
mark (regardless of whether the proceedings leading to the 
determination were civil, criminal, or administrative in nature), shall 
create a rebuttable presumption that the mark in question is a famous 
mark.
    ``(4) A person may not be prosecuted under this section by virtue 
of a mark that is a counterfeit mark if the person has, or is the agent 
or employee of a legal entity that has, lawfully registered that mark 
on the principal register of the United States Patent and Trademark 
Office under section 1 of the Lanham Act and that registration is valid 
at the time of the alleged offense.''.

Stop Counterfeiting in Manufactured Goods Act - Modifies Federal criminal code provisions regarding trafficking in counterfeit goods or services to prohibit trafficking in counterfeit marks. Directs the court: (1) upon a determination by a preponderance of the evidence that any articles in a defendant's possession bear or are counterfeit marks, to order the forfeiture and destruction of such articles, regardless of the defendant's criminal culpability; and (2) in imposing sentence, to order a person convicted of, or who pleads guilty or nolo contendre to, a violation to forfeit any property derived from proceeds of, or used in the commission of, the violation.

Modifies the definition of "counterfeit mark" to include a spurious mark that is applied to, or consists of, a label, patch or medallion.

 Authorizes the court, in determining whether a particular mark is a "famous mark," to consider information, data, testimony, and documentation regarding specified factors, such as the degree of inherent or acquired distinctiveness and the degree of general public recognition of the mark, and the record of successful criminal, civil, or administrative enforcement of rights in the mark. Places upon the United States the burden of proof and persuasion regarding the determination of whether a particular mark is a famous mark.

Prohibits prosecution of a person by virtue of a counterfeit mark that has been lawfully registered and that is valid at the time of the alleged offense.
