An interesting use of weasel words lurking in there I think.
When the people pushing your investment say that you 'claim to have' something instead of simply saying that you 'have' it you know that you're wandering into the wrong territory. Patent ownership and FCC approval are pretty black and white, you either have them or you don't, and a related party feeling the need to qualify that with 'claims' ought really to ring alarm bells.

Transmission of ultrasound through the air is not regulated by the FCC. It is regulated by the FDA even for non-medical use. Any FCC approvals needed, IMO, would be the same as would be required for any electronic device and not specifically for wireless power transmission.
When I look at the patent portfolio for uBeam, the last transducer patents still had my name on them. When I compare the transducers I see from the website and demos, they do not resemble the structures described in that IP. So you can have IP, and you can have transducers, and say that in the same sentence when those two items have no, or limited, relation to one another.

I searched the FCC database for approvals for uBeam, SonicEnergy, SonicEnegry - the FCC does not seem to be aware of these approvals.

I also don't see why would they need an FCC approval, given they don't make a radio transmitter.
