Intellectual Property India Publishes Patent Application for 'Phishing Email Detection System Using Bert And Cnn' Filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology

MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541123235 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 6, 2025, for 'phishing email detection system using bert and cnn.'

Inventor(s) include Kathiravan Srinivasan; Neha Roy; Pradyun S Bhadran; and Vedant Vinod Shenoy.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method (100) for detecting phishing emails. The method retrieves emails from an email server via Internet Message Access Protocol, preprocesses email text (108) to remove HTML tags and normalize content, tokenizes the preprocessed text (208) using a BERT tokenizer, and generates 768-dimensional BERT embeddings (216) from the tokenized text using a pre-trained BERT model. The method processes the BERT embeddings through a CNN classifier (112) having convolutional and fully connected layers, classifies emails as phishing or legitimate (116, 118) based on CNN output probability compared to a predetermined threshold (114), and outputs classification results. The system includes an email retrieval module, a preprocessing module, an embedding generation module, a CNN classification module, and an output module."
