MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025056 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on March 3, for 'a blockchain-based immutable land registry system configured to securely register and transfer ownership of land parcels while preserving transactional privacy.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Islabudeen M; Vayyavuru Ganapathy Manjusree; Dharani S; Vinodhini S; and Akula Mahita Laxmi.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a blockchain-based immutable land registry system designed to securely register land parcels and enable privacy-preserving ownership transfer. the system integrates a user interface for receiving land ownership data and transaction inputs, along with an electronic notary (E-Notary) module for cryptographic identity authentication, digital signature validation, and document verification. a tokenization engine deploys smart contracts on a blockchain network to mint a non-fungible token (NFT) uniquely representing each land parcel, wherein the NFT contains metadata including land identifiers, geospatial coordinates, and cryptographic hashes of ownership documents. a zero- knowledge proof (ZKP) verification engine validates transactional conditions such as ownership legitimacy, buyer eligibility, financial capability, and document authenticity without disclosing sensitive information. an escrow-enabled smart contract controller locks the NFT during pending transactions, holds buyer funds securely, and atomically executes ownership transfer upon successful notarization and proof validation. a fraud detection module prevents duplicate land registrations through hash comparison and token uniqueness constraints. all registration and transfer events are immutably recorded on the blockchain, providing a tamper-resistant, auditable, and transparent land ownership history while maintaining confidentiality."
