§ Trademark coverage · per-jurisdiction
What we've indexed. And what we haven't.
The R13 board memo (2026-05-19) made one rule binding: partial data is worse than no data. A jurisdiction is either fully COVERED with a published Coverage Spec, PARTIAL with a disclosed caveat, or NOT_CHECKED. Never silently mis-claimed. This table is that rule made public.

Per-jurisdiction detail
Each row below is the honest disclosure for one jurisdiction — what's indexed, when it was last refreshed, what's missing (the known-gap surface), and the link to the versioned Coverage Spec when one exists. The Coverage Spec is the 14-field artifact that operationalizes the cardinal rule (R13 D-R13-3).

Per HOD R15 Gap-Closure (2026-05-19) the public posture restricts the Madrid claim to UK-designations only until the full bulk lands.

- Deferred 2026-05-19 per R13 amendment. Brazil INPI ingest pipeline is built and tested (cron_inpi_br_bulk.py) but parked: Brazil represents ~0.3% of /v1/verify queries (long-tail of the 3% non-Top-7), and per the cardinal rule the maintenance burden of claiming a jurisdiction exceeds expected revenue lift until query share reaches 1% or a paying customer requests it with revenue attached. Mexico + Argentina + other LatAm follow the same logic. Customers with LatAm exposure must rely on local counsel.

The board deferred not because the data is bad but because the communication strategy is not yet locked — Madrid coverage is easily misread by consumers as 'international coverage' when in reality it is the subset of marks routed via the Madrid Protocol. Until the framing is locked, the cardinal rule stops the purchase.

Domain axis — advisory tier (per-TLD table)
Per HOD R15 24hr Gap-Closure (RED-2, 2026-05-19): domain availability surfaces as an advisory signal across up to 8 TLDs via authoritative RDAP; registry-set premium pricing, ICANN reserved-name guards, and aftermarket-listing detection are NOT_CHECKED at launch. The R13 Domain Axis audit (2026-05-19) found ZERO of 8 publicly-claimed TLDs reach claim-grade against the strict sub-conditions; rather than ship a partial scored axis, the entire domain surface is downgraded to advisory — parallel to the Sound axis advisory tier per 53b3ab1. The cross-axis inconsistency the audit flagged (TM claims UKIPO COVERED but domain doesn't check .uk) is being closed in Wave 1 Q2 2026 alongside the EUIPO + Anglo-5 TM expansion.
Every /v1/verify response carries a tlds_consulted: list[dict] field with per-TLD method and definitiveness — parallel to jurisdictions_consulted on the trademark axis. A TLD NOT in the receipt was NOT consulted for that verdict. Advisory rows surface availability binaries (registered / not registered) but do NOT carry verdict-grade weight.

Cultural axis — three-tier language coverage
Per HOD R15 24hr Gap-Closure (RED-3, 2026-05-19): COVERED-with-caveat tier is 14 languages (HurtLex + LLM advisory); ADVISORY-only tier is 14 additional languages; 9 publicly-mentioned languages are NOT_CHECKED. The cultural axis is advisory only; native-speaker review is recommended before launch in any market beyond the COVERED-with-caveat tier. The 9 NOT_CHECKED languages (Bengali, Cantonese, Hausa, Yoruba, Amharic, Urdu, Punjabi, Hebrew, Tagalog) were de-claimed in the Cultural P0 sync (162b6bd) which also shipped the sacred_names denylist and the cultural_sources_consulted wire field.
Sources reconciled: HurtLex (Basile et al. 2018, CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0; 28-language slur lexicon), a curated disaster catalog (67 entries, CC-BY 4.0, PR-tracked at etymolt/disasters-db), and a three-LLM cultural panel (Claude opus-4-7, GPT-4o-mini, Gemini 2.5 Pro). LLM signals are treated as advisory, not authoritative. The three providers share frontier-model training-corpus blind spots and are NOT three independent oracles. We do not currently corroborate against native-speaker review for any language, and we do not capture regional sub-national variation or post-2024 slang evolution.

Refresh cadence summary
Per-source refresh windows vary because the upstream registries publish on different cadences. Every verdict carries per-jurisdiction freshness metadata in coverage_caveat when a refresh window has been exceeded.
- USPTO bulk: up to 7-day refresh lag on the daily-delta channel today. Targets daily refresh after the gate-01 pass (2026-06-01).
- TTAB precedent: 16-day delta lag pending the cron resume (D-R13-7, target 2026-05-30). Weekly cadence after the fix lands.
- UKIPO domestic: weekly bulk refresh. The most reliable refresh cadence in the indexed set.
- IPAS Australia: weekly bulk (full domestic corpus, 2.21M rows; full ingest landed 2026-05-19).
- WIPO Madrid IR: daily-FTP delta from ftpird.wipo.int — 156K IRs across 124 designated countries; recovery of truncated ZIPs in flight.
- Famous-marks denylist: on-demand (PR-merge updates); not on a fixed cadence because the catalog is hand-curated.
The wire receipt: jurisdictions_consulted
Every /v1/verify response carries a jurisdictions_consulted: list[str] field with the sources actually queried for that specific verdict. LLM integrators (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Lovable, et al.) are contractually required to render this list verbatim — the user sees exactly which jurisdictions were checked for their name.
A source NOT in jurisdictions_consulted was NOT consulted for that verdict. That is the cardinal-rule honest receipt — the partial-data-as-complete trap codified by the R13 board can never silently fire if the receipt is rendered.
