This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Design Updates: As part of our ongoing effort to make FederalRegister.gov more accessible and easier to use we've enlarged the space available to the document content and moved all document related data into the utility bar on the left of the document. Read more in our feature announcement .

At the heart of invention

A group of students set about solving a problem for their community by creating an invention, yet they ended up doing much more — from unlocking the power of the invention mindset to experiencing the transformative ripples caused by it. One of those students, Katia Avila Pinedo, now champions invention education.

New to Intellectual Property?

Director of Emerging Technology and Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at the USPTO Jerry Ma has been awarded the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal® for excellence in public service.

As part of our efforts to modernize our systems and improve customer experience, we've launched the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) Center open beta for filing notices of opposition. 

The report addresses legal and policy issues surrounding AI-generated digital replicas, or the use of digital technology to realistically replicate an individual’s voice or appearance. 

This latest update builds on previous guidance by providing further clarity and consistency to how the USPTO and applicants should evaluate subject matter eligibility of claims in patent applications and patents involving inventions related to AI technology.
