MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611010177 A) filed by Thapar Institute Of Engineering and Technology, Patiala, Punjab, on Jan. 30, for 'a digital watermarking system and a method thereof.'
Inventor(s) include Paramveer Singh; Himani Mahajan; Prabhleen Kaur; Samiksha; Nupur; Mridula Pal; Sneha; Dr. Kulbir Singh; Dr. Sandeep Mandia; and Dr. Neeru Jindal.
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 digital watermarking in multimedia and document security, offering a system (100) that embeds and extracts watermarks from various file formats. A file type detection module (102) utilizes extension analysis and magic number inspection to identify file types, while a modular model registry (104) houses watermarking models for image-based, text-layer, metadata, and video applications. A dynamic routing module (106) determines the appropriate model based on predefined criteria, with a fallback mechanism (108) including a conversion engine (108a) and reassembly engine (108b) if no standard model applies. An OCR processing module (110) restores editable text from high-resolution images, and a forensic logging module (112) in conjunction with an RTC module (114) records timestamps and cryptographic data. An interfacing module (116) supports user input and configuration, ensuring adaptive, robust watermarking even during offline operation."
