MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521058407 A) filed by Sonali Patwe; and Sunil Mane, Pune, Maharashtra, on June 18, for 'a blockchain and ai - enabled digital twin system for secure student exchange across physical and metaverse environments.'

Inventor(s) include Sonali Patwe; and Sunil Mane.

The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention describes a blockchain and AI-enabled digital twin system designed for secure student exchange between physical and metaverse-based academic environments. Each student is assigned a digital twin that encapsulates identity, credentials, and interaction history. The system integrates physical infrastructure comprising IoT sensors, CCTV cameras, and environmental trackers with virtual campuses developed in Unity3D or Unreal Engine. AR/VR devices enable immersive access to these environments. A blockchain layer implements decentralized identifiers and smart contracts for identity verification, credential validation, and policy enforcement. An AI engine analyses real-time behaviour to detect anomalies. The architecture ensures tamper-proof logging, device-level security, and scalable cross-institutional interoperability."
