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: "The present invention provides a social event booking and attendee connection system (100) that integrates event ticket booking with interest-based social networking for live entertainment events. The system comprises a mobile application client (170) communicating with backend server infrastructure (160), incorporating an event management module (120) for event discovery and categorization, a ticket booking module (140) with seat selection and payment processing, and a social connection module (130) featuring an interest-based matching engine (131) and shared interests analyzer (134). A distinctive mutual interest verification module (135) enables chat functionality through a collaborate feature handler (152) only when both users express interest in attending the same event together. The system transforms event attendance from an isolated transaction to a social experience by enabling users to find like-minded companions, thereby addressing the prevalent problem of event cancellations due to lack of company and enhancing overall user engagement with live entertainment."
