Frequently Asked Questions

What is AirspaceRegistry.org?

A community-driven registry where individuals, businesses, and communities can register locations and express preferences regarding future interactions involving drones, augmented reality, and other spatial technologies.

Does registering a location create ownership rights?

No. Registration records community preferences and location information only. It does not create new legal rights or ownership interests.

Does the registry create no-fly zones?

No. Registry preferences are informational and voluntary and do not replace laws or regulations.

Why register early?

The next generation of technology will increasingly interact with real-world locations and airspace. Early participation helps ensure individuals, businesses, and communities have a voice as standards and practices evolve.

Is registration free?

Yes. Early participation in the community registry is currently free.

Does AirspaceRegistry.org own the founder's patents?

No. The founder separately owns an issued U.S. patent and multiple pending patent applications relating to spatial rights registration and management systems. While those intellectual-property rights may support the effort in the future, they remain separate assets and are not licensed or assigned to the registry merely because the registry exists.

Why compare this to DNS?

DNS became foundational infrastructure for organizing information on the internet. AirspaceRegistry.org seeks to become an early framework for organizing information about real-world locations and airspace interactions so that communities and future technologies can communicate more effectively.
