CLIEAIR™ — open framework, protected name
CLIEAIR™ (Civil Liberties Investigative Enforcement by AI Review) is
Translator Series’ civic legal-technology framework. The framework itself has been
deliberately published into the public record — continuously since 2024 under
#CLIEAIR, with clieair.com held since June 2023 — so that its ideas

Federal registration filings are in process. Use of the CLIEAIR™ mark to identify a product or service requires authorization; the framework’s ideas require none.
