According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a decentralized, smart contract-governed system (100) that manages authorship, version lineage, and ownership of software code assets, thereby providing an immutable, automated, and tamper-resistant framework for registering, authenticating, and governing software source code throughout its lifecycle. The decentralized, smart contract-governed system (100) comprises a computing device (102) having a processor (104) and a memory (106) for storing one or more instructions executable by the processor (104). In addition, the processor (104) is configured to execute plurality of modules (108) for decentralized registry, authentication, and intellectual property management of software source code. The plurality of modules (108) comprises a cryptographic module (110), a storage module (112), an authentication module (114), a processing module (116), a detection module (118), and an output module (119). The proposed system (100) improves operational efficiency by providing automated workflows for code registration, versioning, authorship certification, rights enforcement, and licensing, thereby reducing manual administrative overhead."
