Starseed Selected for 2026 Public-Private Cooperation IP Strategy Support Project CIPO... Secures 7 Patents for Pulitzer AI

Starseed, led by CEO Bomi Son, which operates the AI-powered global PR automation platform "Pulitzer AI," announced on June 2, 2026, that it has been selected as a startup for the CIPO program under the 2026 Public-Private Cooperation IP Strategy Support Project.

The Public-Private Cooperation IP Strategy Support Project is a program hosted by the Korean Intellectual Property Office and operated by the Korea Invention Promotion Association. It aims to support startups with high growth potential in developing intellectual property (IP) strategies and expanding into overseas markets.

Along with this selection, Starseed announced that it has newly registered two patents related to news clipping automation technology and global legal risk analysis technology. As a result, the company now holds a total of seven registered patents and has built an intellectual property portfolio of 11 rights, including four trademark registrations.

The newly registered patents focus on automating repetitive news monitoring work and reducing legal and compliance burdens that may arise during overseas publicity activities.

The first patent, titled "Method and Device for Providing Efficient News Clipping Through Shared Theme-Based Dynamic Caching and AI-Based Relevance Scoring," is a technology that processes multiple users' similar news search requests by grouping them under a common theme. This is expected to improve news collection speed, reduce costs associated with external search APIs and AI model calls, and quickly provide users with organized news clipping results.

The second patent, titled "Method and Device for Analyzing Legal Risks of Press Releases or Article Content on a Sentence Level and Automatically Substituting with Legally Safe Expressions Based on Jurisdiction-Based Dynamic Risk Mapping," is designed to lower risks in distributing overseas press releases by reflecting differences in legal and regulatory standards by country. Even if the same expression is used, it may pose problems depending on the country or region; therefore, the technology analyzes the regulatory standards, precedents, and sanction cases of the target country, calculates the risk level for each sentence, and automatically converts them into safer expressions.

Starseed is currently developing and operating "Pulitzer AI," a platform that automates the entire PR process with artificial intelligence, including press release writing and distribution, news monitoring, media targeting, and performance analysis. With the registration of these patents, the company has strengthened its intellectual property protection system for core technologies such as global news clipping automation, AI-based relevance analysis, multi-stage duplication removal, sentence-level legal risk analysis, and automatic localization of legally safe expressions by country.

Following its investment from Venture Square, Starseed has been selected for both the Ministry of SMEs and Startups' TIPS R&D program and the current CIPO program, accelerating its efforts to advance its technology and secure IP competitiveness. The newly registered patent technologies will also be sequentially applied to the Pulitzer AI service in the future.

In particular, Starseed plans to expand its business as a next-generation PR intelligence platform capable of large-scale news monitoring and global regulatory compliance by building a high-performance agent architecture combining large language models (LLMs), external news/search APIs, and translation/summarization engines.

Bomi Son, CEO of Starseed, stated, "Recently, PR work has expanded beyond simple press release writing and distribution to include real-time news monitoring, public opinion analysis, PR performance measurement, global regulatory compliance, and crisis management." She added, "Based on our accumulated technological assets, we will further enhance our news clipping automation and media/public opinion crisis response technologies to build a global AI PR infrastructure that enables companies and organizations to quickly identify issues and establish response strategies."

With its selection for the CIPO program and additional patent registrations, Starseed is accelerating the advancement of its AI-based PR intelligence platform while strengthening its competitiveness in global PR automation and legal risk management technologies.
