According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A digital legal identity and compliance framework for sustainable supply chains is disclosed. The framework includes a digital legal identity module for generating a unique digital legal identity for each supply-chain entity, a data-ingestion layer for receiving compliance-relevant data from enterprise systems, sensors, audit interfaces, and user uploads, a permissioned blockchain ledger for tamper-evident storage of traceability and compliance records, an artificial-intelligence compliance engine for analysing the data against legal rules, contractual conditions, sustainability thresholds, or risk models, a smart-contract or executable policy layer for automatically initiating enforcement or remedial actions, and a role-based dashboard interface for presenting traceability and compliance outputs. The framework links stakeholder identity with certifications, metrics, and compliance evidence, thereby enabling auditable traceability, automated compliance monitoring, and legally relevant enforcement in multi-stakeholder supply chains."
