Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) Registration
Big companies are already taking this very seriously and advise their customers of this new law and in many cases even help them register their product.
Parrot is taking this approach by informing their customers as well as including the registration in their mobile application (which is needed to fly their drones). This way, hard to reach users, are advised.
Remember to always fly safely.
