Patent Portfolio

9 Families (F1-F9) - Constitutional AI Governance Intellectual Property

ETHRAEON's patent portfolio comprises 122+ utility + 47 provisional applications across 9-14 (9 util core + 5 defensive clusters) families, with 9 families actively filed. Constitutional AI governance IP covering delegation firewall architecture, kill condition protocols, multi-agent adhesion, drift detection systems, and dual-use monitoring frameworks.

Status: Provisional filing in progress via Fridman Law PLLC. Primary source validation from frontier AI leadership (Dario Amodei, CEO Anthropic, February 18, 2026 interview) strengthens prior art for 4 key families: Constitutional Substrate (ETH-PAT-001), Kill Condition (ETH-PAT-004), Rollback Protocol (ETH-PAT-005), Constitutional Certification (ETH-PAT-011).

⚠️ NDA Required: Full patent specifications, claims dependence diagrams, and implementation documentation available under Non-Disclosure Agreement for institutional review. (Per C-08 Transparency Asymmetry compiler rule - constitutional governance IP protected Schedule A+ IP Firewall.)

Core Patent Families

ETH-PAT-001

Constitutional AI Governance Substrate

Foundational architecture for human-sovereign AI governance. Answers Dario Amodei's "country of geniuses in a data center" governance question. Constitutional layer ensures AI systems cannot exceed delegation scope. Claims 1-18 cover substrate initialization, governance binding, and authority escalation protocols.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-002

Systematic Constitutional Containment (SCC) Framework

Complete SCC implementation methodology. 30 operational modules, 89 compiler rules, orientation-before-automation doctrine. Addresses Amodei "small number of years" urgency - governance infrastructure deployed before autonomous behavior crystallizes at capability frontier.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-003

Multi-Agent Adhesion Protocol

Governance persistence at "superhuman coordination speed." As AI agents orchestrate across infrastructure, adhesion ensures constitutional binding survives continuous model updates, prompt injections, and jailbreak attempts. Critical for federal judges + 400 threatened institutional workflows.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-004

Kill Condition Protocol - Autonomous Behavior Detection

Fail-safe for alignment failure. Detects emergence of autonomous behavior (Amodei Risk Category 1) before crystallization. Real-time monitoring triggers rollback when AI systems exhibit goal-seeking independent of human authorization. Not post-hoc remediation - preventive constitutional containment.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-005

Rollback Protocol - Government Misuse Containment

Constitutional constraint for "misuse by individuals AND governments" (Amodei Risk Category 2). Anthropic-DoD conflict case study: when organizational deployment conflicts with constitutional governance, rollback protocol activates. ETHRAEON provides third-party governance layer preventing institutional conflicts.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-006

Distributed Kill Switch Architecture

Mitigates centralization risk for Amodei "country of geniuses" scenario. Distributed consensus prevents single-point weaponization. Netherlands 75% weaponization risk quantified via IWRS (Infrastructure Weaponization Risk Score). Kill switch requires M-of-N constitutional authorities.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-007

Empathy Mapping Framework for AI Governance

Behavioral governance infrastructure. Maps human empathy constraints onto AI decision-making. Prevents "never seen before" institutional discontinuity (Amodei) by ensuring AI systems internalize human-compatible value frameworks before capability deployment.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-008

Drift Detection System for Capability Frontier

Exponential monitoring for exponential capability acceleration. As models "surpass human cognitive capabilities" (Amodei), drift detection provides early warning before alignment failure crystallizes. Monitors CDI capability ceiling in real-time. Shumer 55M CNN views = capability ceiling rising, CMU 76% fail = deployment floor static.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-009

Simulation Framework for Governance Testing

Waymo-validated methodology: test AI governance in simulation before production deployment. Synthetic constitutional conflict scenarios identify rollback protocol failures before real-world activation. Prevents Anthropic-DoD-style conflicts through pre-deployment governance validation.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-010

Data Spine Infrastructure for Enterprise AI

FE Fundinfo-validated backbone architecture. Constitutional governance requires unified data infrastructure - no adhesion without backbone. Enterprise-scale deployment (400+ workflows, federal judges use case) necessitates persistent governance layer across fragmented data sources.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-011

Constitutional Governance Certification for Democratic AI

Third-party constitutional layer for international governance markets. Amodei: "India absolutely central role democratic governance structures." ETHRAEON certification provides constitutional adhesion standard both Anthropic AND DoD could adopt. Prevents weaponization while enabling democratic deployment at scale.

Filing in Progress

ETH-PAT-012

CDI Measurement Framework (Capability-Deployment Index)

Quantifies governance gap infrastructure opportunity. CDI = 0.78 (LARGE GAP) triggers constitutional governance mandate. Measures capability ceiling (accelerating exponentially) vs deployment floor (nearly static CMU 76% fail, Apple 90% degradation, Gartner 40% cancel). Operationalizes "economic displacement" Amodei Risk Category 3.

Filing Pending

ETH-PAT-013

Dual-Use Monitoring Indices (ACI/IWRS/FSE/PAOI/CCSM)

Five indices operationalize Amodei 3 risk categories: ACI (Authoritarian Cost Index) for government misuse, IWRS (Infrastructure Weaponization Risk) for Anthropic-DoD conflicts, FSE (Freedom-Safety Equilibrium) for India democratic vs authoritarian paths, PAOI (Physics Acceleration Opportunity) for "cure diseases" abundance, CCSM (Civilization Clearing Stability) for "never seen before" institutional precedent failure.

Filing Pending

ETH-PAT-014

Delegation Firewall - Layer 1 through Layer 4 Certification

Constitutional boundary enforcement at every capability level. L1 Basic (narrow delegation), L2 Enhanced (coordinated tasks), L3 Advanced (multi-agent orchestration), L4 Constitutional (sovereign authority). No AI system exceeds certification level. Human authority remains sovereign across all layers.

Filing Pending

Patent Strategy

Session 5 Amodei Interview (Feb 18, 2026) - Prior Art Strengthening:

ETH-PAT-001 Constitutional Substrate: Amodei "country of geniuses in a data center" validates governance question. Claims 1-18 directly address "who governs that country?"
ETH-PAT-004 Kill Condition: Amodei "autonomous AI behavior" Risk Category 1 validates detection protocol necessity. "Exponentially harder" alignment = fail-safe requirement.
ETH-PAT-005 Rollback Protocol: Amodei "misuse by individuals AND governments" Risk Category 2 validates containment architecture. Anthropic-DoD conflict 10 days post-interview proves necessity.
ETH-PAT-011 Constitutional Certification: Amodei "India absolutely central role democratic governance structures" validates international third-party governance market.

Filing Timeline:

March 2-10, 2026: Fridman Law PLLC receives 42 patent files with Session 5 prior art updates
Q2 2026: Provisional filings complete for ETH-PAT-001 through ETH-PAT-011
Q3 2026: Utility conversions initiate for core 6 families (PAT-001 through PAT-006)
Q4 2026: International PCT filings (India + EU priority markets per Amodei geopolitical validation)
