Covered-List work rewards command of the record. We hold the guidance documents, the grant language, the condition precedent and the agencies' cadence in working memory, current to the latest public notice. Here is what that command looks like in practice.
Forty Conditional Approvals exist across the drone, router and robotics waves: eighteen UAS grantees approved between March 17 and August 21, 2026, twenty-one router grantees across twenty-six grant actions, and one advanced-robotics grantee on September 9, 2026. We maintain a standing reading of all of them: applicant structures, scope patterns, condition language, and the nineteen grant-announcement notices, as of September 10, 2026, whose dates had set a one-to-two-week batch cadence through August.
That reading is public on this site as the Register, read by Gatewell, because we would rather demonstrate the work than describe it.
Drones were listed December 22, 2025; the first grants published March 17, 2026, about twelve weeks from listing to first names. Routers were listed March 23 and the first grants came April 14, three weeks, into an already-warm process. Advanced robotic devices were listed July 28; the first grant published September 9, 2026, six weeks later, to a Swedish applicant. Power inverters were listed the same day and have no grant yet. The applicants on a first notice spend every month afterward as the only approved names their buyers can see.
The read-through is simple. The first wave is forming now, and we are building filings for it. An application begun today files inside that wave. One begun after the first grants publish files behind it, into a backlog, without the first-mover shelf. Our clients will not be in the second group.
Gatewell's founder, Ilya Tsimerinov, has spent fifteen years building and operating regulated, cross-border businesses in Los Angeles: healthcare, consumer lending, retail. Different industries; identical discipline: get the corporate structure right, get the filing right, stage the money against milestones, and never let a client be surprised by a regulator.
A winning Conditional Approval record is not a legal brief; it is an operating plan: who owns you, who supplies you, and whether your US manufacturing commitment is an intention or a contract. So the practice is built from the three disciplines that plan demands. Equipment-authorization review: the reviewer's-eye reading of what survives scrutiny at the certification layer. National-security diligence: evidentiary records built to answer the questions interagency reviewers actually ask. Manufacturing operations: site, partner, and capex planning by the standards of people who stand up real assembly lines. Filings are prepared with supervising counsel. The plan underneath is built by the operating disciplines the plan describes.
The comments we have filed in those proceedings are on this site under Filings, each linked to the Commission's own copy. A filing you cannot check is a claim.
Fixed fees, staged against engagement, filing, and grant. A conventional deposit structure that mirrors standard T/T practice. Gross-up provisions where treaty relief is unavailable, US residency certification furnished annually, and export-voucher compatibility for qualifying Korean SMEs. You will know the total before we begin, and you fund only the work you can see.
And a screening policy we will not bend. We decline PRC-nexus structures as a matter of firm policy, and we put a documented risk-factor assessment in writing at the diagnostic stage, because the only filing record worth building is one made of cases we would bet on.
Two weeks, a fixed fee, and a written judgment on your pathway from the people who read this register for a living.
