Frequently asked
Why do so many trademark filings appear in USPTO Class 009? +
Class 009 covers computer hardware, software, mobile apps, AI tools, and consumer electronics. It is the USPTO's broadest and most-filed trademark category. Roughly half of every Big Tech trademark filing lives here. The class includes everything from iOS apps to satellite electronics, so its filing volume tracks the overall pace of new technology product launches.
How do USPTO patent applications differ from patent grants? +
Applications are filings that have entered the USPTO examination process. They publish 18 months after the priority date even if not yet granted. Patent grants are applications that completed examination and were issued as enforceable patents. Tracking applications reveals what companies are working on; tracking grants reveals what they can now enforce.
What does the FCC actually regulate? +
The FCC regulates interstate and international communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable. That covers spectrum licensing, broadcast station ownership, broadband competition, robocall enforcement, equipment authorization (for any radio-frequency device sold in the US), and net neutrality policy. The FCC publishes orders, notices of proposed rulemaking, and enforcement actions on its website.
What is the NIST AI Risk Management Framework? +
AI RMF is a voluntary framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology that guides organizations on identifying, measuring, and managing risks from AI systems. It is not law but is widely adopted as the de facto US framework, similar to how the NIST Cybersecurity Framework became the standard reference for cyber risk management.
Where do federal AI policy decisions get published first? +
Across multiple channels: White House executive orders on AI, OSTP technical papers, NIST framework updates, agency-specific guidance from SEC, FTC, and HHS-OIG, and Congressional hearings recorded by C-SPAN. There is no single federal AI policy publication. GovPing aggregates the relevant outputs from each agency that has weighed in.
