Inventor(s) include Er. Kunver Arif Ali; Amrish Mishra; Dr. Rubi Rajput; Er. Ritu Sharam; Er. Guru Sewak Kesharwani; Er. Rajesh Parihar; and Er. Amit Kumar.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a smart fence smell device for protecting agricultural crops from stray animals without causing harm. The device comprises a weather-proof enclosure fitted with a solar panel, rechargeable battery, motion sensor, scent chamber, micro-pump, and control circuitry. When a stray animal approaches the field, the motion sensor detects its presence and triggers the micro-pump to release a natural herbal or citrus-based scent that animals dislike, causing them to move away from the crops. The system operates automatically, is silent, requires no water usage, and provides an economical and environmentally friendly solution for farmers."
