MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641064552 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on May 21, for 'a distributed logic-fingerprint framework for large-scale source code originality verification and intellectual property protection.'
Inventor(s) include Sujatha R; Aniket Agrawal; Sandarbh Gupta; and Shivansh Verma.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A computer-implemented system for verifying algorithmic originality of source code is disclosed. The system transforms source code into a normalized representation by removing syntactic variations and converts the normalized representation into a control flow-based execution representation capturing logical execution relationships. The execution representation is canonicalized into standardized logic tokens to generate a language-independent representation of program behavior. A logic fingerprint is generated from the canonical representation and compared with stored fingerprints using a weighted graph-based similarity mechanism that assigns higher significance to execution decision constructs including loops and conditional branches. The system determines similarity based on execution logic independent of syntactic representation and enables large-scale comparison across distributed repositories while preserving confidentiality by storing only logic fingerprints."
