Copysight

CopySight (CopySight AI, Inc.) is a Los Angeles-based artificial intelligence intellectual property governance company. Its CopyScore system evaluates AI-generated images and video for infringement exposure and copyrightability, allowing studios, gaming companies, platforms and enterprises to verify, attribute and clear content before distribution. The platform scans assets for brands, logos, copyrighted characters, celebrity likenesses and established art styles and returns a risk score indicating how much protected or likeness-related imagery is present.

Risk is classified across five primary categories: trademarks, characters, brand and iconic designs, celebrity likenesses, and art and styles. Each assessment is written to an immutable chain-of-creation log intended to serve as supporting compliance documentation. Alongside pre-release risk screening, the company documents human involvement across the generation pipeline — from prompt to output, with an assigned human author — to support copyright registration of AI-assisted work under U.S. and EU standards; its documentation was used in Raksha World's U.S. Copyright Office registration for AI-supported creative content.

Founding story

The company was founded by CEO Artem Petrov and CTO Konstantin Orlov, reported in August 2026 as founded two years earlier. Petrov had previously served as a tech creative director at Meta and Orlov was a software engineer at Apple for nearly three years; the founding team is described as drawn from Snap, Apple and Meta. A 2025 announcement also named Alex Friedman (co-founder and CPO) and Matt Stratton among those founding and leading the company, with a team including former directors of technology companies, an ex-head of IP, a senior AI engineer, an NLP researcher with a Ph.D., and an AI legal technology specialist. The founders cited the breakdown of traditional authorship and attribution frameworks under generative AI as the impetus for launching the company.

Business model

CopySight sells software that screens AI-generated assets for IP risk and produces documentation supporting ownership claims, serving enterprise clients and their authorized users under agreements that position the company as a data processor for submitted content.

Accounts are billed through a payment provider for platform access, with enterprise clients and their authorized users among the customer base.

Traction

Since January 2026 the platform has processed more than 87,000 copyright and IP risk checks across studio, platform, legal and enterprise workflows, representing a 25-fold increase in usage over that period. Customers, partners and platform users include the entertainment studio AGBO, AI media generator OpenArt, and law firm ArentFox Schiff, and the company reports work with major Hollywood studios. Its documentation supported Raksha World's U.S. Copyright Office registration for AI-supported creative content.

Latest developments

In late July 2026 CopySight closed a $3 million seed round led by Mucker Capital with Taisu VC, Flint Capital and Yellow Rocks! participating, and released CopyScore V2 for AI-generated video. The funding is intended to scale the company's scoring architecture into enterprise video production pipelines. Advisors include Doug Shapiro (former Chief Strategy Officer at Turner and WarnerMedia), Tomasz Kornuta (Senior Research Manager at Nvidia) and Greg Coleman (Global Head of Marketing and Franchise at Amazon).
