MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007529 A) filed by Bapatla Surendra Babu, Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, on Jan. 27, for 'caged-enzyme lithographic data storage system utilizing spatially controlled biodegradation for high-density memory.'
Inventor(s) include Bapatla Surendra Babu.
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 present invention discloses a biodegradable, non-volatile memory system utilizing enzymatic lithography. The system comprises a biopolymer film (e.g., gelatin) doped with a photoactivatable "caged" enzyme (e.g., nitrobenzyl-caged trypsin). Data is written by exposing the film to a patterned UV light source, which cleaves the caging group and activates the enzyme. Advanced embodiments utilize wavelength multiplexing for 3D storage and enzymatic cascades for amplified writing speed. The process achieves micron-scale resolution using standard optical equipment without requiring living organisms, hazardous etchants, or cleanroom facilities. The resulting memory device is readable via optical contrast and is fully biodegradable."
