MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122535 A) filed by Dr. Jaimol James, Kanjirapally, Kerala, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'a computer-implemented system and method for measuring social poverty based on entitlement deficiency indicators.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Jaimol James.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for assessing social poverty through the measurement of entitlement deficiencies among households and communities. The system integrates socio-economic data such as access to food, healthcare, education, and social security, and processes these inputs using a proprietary entitlement-deprivation algorithm. Unlike conventional poverty indices that rely mainly on income or consumption, the proposed invention generates a multidimensional "Entitlement Poverty Score" (EPS) that quantifies the degree of deprivation in essential entitlements. The system includes a data acquisition module for collecting household-level and administrative data, a processing engine for applying the entitlement-deprivation algorithm, and an output interface for presenting reports, dashboards, and predictive analytics. This invention provides policymakers, NGOs, and researchers with actionable insights to design targeted welfare interventions and optimize resource allocation."
