FortyTwoMaru has joined the 'K-AI Patent Strategy Council' launched by the Ministry of Intellectual Property and the Korea Patent Strategy Development Institute. Through this participation, FortyTwoMaru has begun responding to global AI patent competition.
The council was established against the backdrop of major countries such as the United States and China strengthening policies to foster their own AI industries, as well as the expansion of patent collaboration around AI foundation models led by global big tech companies. It is a public-private partnership to secure core and applied AI patents, improve the system, and respond to global patent pools.
Participating organizations include FortyTwoMaru, LG AI Research, SK Telecom (SKT), KT, Kakao, Upstage, Rebellions, Nota, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), and the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), along with about 20 industry, academia, research, and related institutions. The launch ceremony was held earlier this month at the ST Center in the Korea Technology Center in Gangnam District, Seoul.
At the launch ceremony, the council's operating direction was introduced, along with the 'Support for Strengthening Sovereign AI Global Patents' project, which is scheduled to be promoted in 2027. In addition, the interim results of an analysis of patents held by 'SAIL (Shared AI License Foundation),' a patent-sharing licensing coalition involving major U.S. AI companies, and future response directions related to SAIL were also shared.
At the meeting, participants discussed improvements to AI-related intellectual property policies and systems, the discovery of new projects reflecting on-site demand, and measures for a joint response to global AI patent pools. From FortyTwoMaru, CTO Kim Han-su attended.
FortyTwoMaru is expanding its patent acquisitions at home and abroad based on its proprietary AI technology. It has filed a total of 122 patent applications, including 63 in South Korea, 39 in the United States, 18 in Europe, and 2 PCT applications. Of the filed patents, 50 are in generative AI.
Through the Ministry of Intellectual Property's IP-R&D Strategy Support Project, the patent titled 'Method and System for Generating Data Representation Based on Large Language Models' received a domestic registration decision, and its U.S. filing is under way. The patent 'Method and System for Generating Reports Using Corporate Data' completed domestic registration in February and is under review in the United States and Europe.
FortyTwoMaru is developing enterprise AI businesses based on its retrieval-augmented generation 'RAG42,' artificial intelligence reading comprehension 'MRC42,' and domain-specific lightweight model 'LLM42.' With its participation in this council, FortyTwoMaru plans to strengthen its own technology patent portfolio and jointly respond to changes in the global AI patent landscape.
Kim Dong-hwan, CEO of FortyTwoMaru, said that as global AI competition intensifies, competition for patents to secure core foundational technologies and intellectual property rights is becoming fully under way. He added that through the activities of the K-AI Patent Strategy Council, the company aims to respond to the risk of overseas patent disputes and contribute to strengthening the Republic of Korea's sovereign AI patent competitiveness.
