MUMBAI, India, Jan. 8 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511104197 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 29, 2025, for 'next-gen blockchain-iot platform for seed authenticity and health monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Abdul Malik Ansari.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A Blockchain-IoT system (100) for seed authenticity and health monitoring comprises a seed registration module (102) that generates a cryptographic hash of the genetic fingerprint, IoT sensor nodes (104) that monitor temperature, humidity, light, and vibration, a blockchain layer (106) for storing Merkle roots and executing smart contracts, and off-chain storage (108) for detailed telemetry. Local ML models on the IoT nodes (104) calculate seed viability, while smart contracts automatically enforce corrective actions if thresholds are breached. A verification module (110) allows end-users to authenticate seeds via QR/NFC tags using zero-knowledge proofs, preserving breeder IP. The system (100) provides real-time reporting, automated quality control, and end-to-end traceability, preventing counterfeiting, preserving fertility, and establishing trust and transparency across the seed supply chain."
