IP office launches pilot platform to track AI policy trends across government

The Korean Intellectual Property Office said Tuesday it has begun a pilot operation of a platform that analyzes AI-related press releases from government ministries, with the aim of tracking AI transformation trends across the public sector and applying the findings to its own intellectual property AI transformation, or IP-AX, strategy. The office also released a collection of policy support AI agents known as the IP-AX Portfolio on the same day.

The platform, called Gov.AX Insight, was developed in-house by the office. It automatically collects, summarizes and analyzes AI-related press releases published through the government's official policy briefing channel, and generates quarterly trend reports — all managed autonomously by AI.

The platform was built within the office's IP-AX Promotion Team using a conversational coding approach, with no separate budget allocated. The goal is to monitor AI-related policies from multiple ministries in real time and apply best-practice cases to intellectual property administration.

Going beyond a simple archive of press releases, the platform visualizes government AI policy trends through data. It covers the thematic flow and monthly trajectory of major policies, the distribution of AX policies by ministry, and a network map of rising key terms.

In addition, AI generates a quarterly "AI Trend Report" that classifies key policies from accumulated press releases and analyzes information relevant to the office's perspective. The platform is expected to help policy staff more systematically understand what initiatives other ministries are pursuing to drive workplace innovation, and to respond more swiftly to the national AI transformation push.

Alongside the platform, the IP-AX Promotion Team released the IP-AX Portfolio — a collection of AI agents developed over the past three months to transform how staff work.

The portfolio includes IP-AX Global News, a repository that collects and analyzes overseas news on AI in the intellectual property field, and IP-AX Law Monitor, an AI policy support tool that enables integrated searches of IP-related legislation and assists with assigning responsible departments and drafting review opinions for pre-announcement bills and National Assembly-proposed legislation.

Jung Yeon-woo, deputy commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office, said the office is pursuing creative change at both the individual and organizational level to keep pace with other ministries in advancing the AI transformation, and pledged to actively identify new initiatives to drive workplace innovation through AI.
