MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531130349 A) filed by Asansol Engineering College, Asansol, West Bengal, on Dec. 22, 2025, for 'nft based library management system.'
Inventor(s) include Ganga Bhattacharjee; Tapas Pal; and Sunetra Mukherjee.
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 confers significant advantages over prior art centralized systems, primarily stemming from its decentralized blockchain architecture and cryptographic security features. The utilization of NFTs ensures that every digital book record is uniquely identifiable and possesses immutable details, thereby drastically reducing the risk of unauthorized alteration or record tampering and serving as a robust safeguard against plagiarism. The distributed nature of the system, coupled with the application of ZKP-based consensus mechanisms, inherently provides superior guarantees of authenticity and resistance to unauthorized information modification, which reinforces the overall credibility of the digital library records. Furthermore, the system provides enhanced confidentiality by using a zero-knowledge proof of work for verification, allowing secure validation of information exchange without exposing the underlying sensitive data. This tamper resistance and robust authorization make the system demonstrably more secure against data breaches compared to centralized models, as every transaction is independently validated and audit-trailed on the public ledger."
