MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511123923 A) filed by Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'gated multi-modal translation system for sign-language to text conversion.'

Inventor(s) include Chirag Bhardwaj; Ayush Parashar; Sharon Nayak; and Dr. Anuradha Taluja.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Disclosed is a gated multi-modal translation system configured for automated generation and visual presentation of textual output corresponding to sign-language gestures. The system comprises a camera unit configured to capture sequential image frames representing manual and non-manual gestures of a human subject performing sign language and a server comprising a processing unit and a non-transitory memory. The server executes instructions to receive said image frames, perform spatio-temporal encoding, apply gated cross-modal fusion of visual and linguistic representations with adaptive modulation of visual contribution, and generate textual tokens through autoregressive decoding to produce textual output without intermediate gloss representation. A display interface operatively connected to said server presents said textual output to a user."
