MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049633 A) filed by Arun Babu Veeranki, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 18, for 'dual-layer privacy and accountability system for controlled anonymous communication.'

Inventor(s) include Arun Babu Veeranki.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a dual-layer privacy and accountability system for anonymous communication platforms wherein a public interaction layer presents communication events to registered asset owners with complete exclusion of scanner identifying information including telephone number, IP address, and GPS coordinates, whilst a private accountability layer simultaneously retains all such scanner identification data including telephone number, GPS coordinates with resolved street address, IP address with geolocation city, complete message content, image evidence references, and precise interaction timestamps. The private layer is architecturally inaccessible through the public interface by virtue of row-level security policies enforced at the database engine layer independently of application-layer access controls, and is additionally protected by role-based access control restricting read and write access to system administrator roles. All access events to the private accountability layer are recorded in an appendonly, non-modifiable audit log capturing administrator identifier, access timestamp, and records accessed. A controlled disclosure interface enables authorised administrators to generate structured interaction reports for lawful submission to law enforcement and governmental authorities, comprising all private accountability data for specified events without including any asset owner personal data, with each disclosure event logged in a non-modifiable disclosure audit trail. The architecture implements atomic dual-layer data capture through database transaction management, ensuring no scanner identifying information is lost under partial failure conditions. The invention resolves the fundamental tension between communicator anonymity and statutory law enforcement accountability requirements in large-scale anonymous communication platforms, and is deployable on standard relational database management systems supporting native row-level security policy enforcement."
