If you exaggerate anything, I’ll reject you. I don’t need BS. If you say you got a patent and it’s only applied for, you’re not truthful.

And if you say “I don’t know that, it’s not something I’ve worked on before” you score culture points.

That's fine, and I would say there's generally no need for that. But let's be real: you're not going to hire me if I tell you the reason I want to work for your company is because I need money to pay bills and couldn't give two shits about it otherwise, so I'm going to lie to you about that.
