MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511132455 A) filed by IIMT College of Pharmacy, Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Dec. 26, 2025, for 'pulmonary drug delivery device.'

Inventor(s) include Nakul Gupta; Priya Pandey; Shweta Sharma; and Ravi Rawat.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A pulmonary drug delivery device (100) is disclosed for controlled aerosol delivery based on user breathing. The device (100) includes a housing (102) defining an airflow path (103) between an air inlet (104) and a patient interface (106). A drug reservoir (108) supplies a liquid drug formulation to a micro-nebulizing chamber (110) containing an ultrasonic mesh atomizer (112) with micro-apertures (114) that generate aerosol. A breath sensor (116) positioned along the airflow path detects airflow rate, airflow direction, and inhaled volume. A controllable microvalve (118) regulates aerosol passage toward the patient interface. A control unit (120) having a processor (122) and memory (124) receives breath parameter data and evaluates predefined inhalation conditions. During inhalation, the control unit actuates the ultrasonic mesh atomizer and opens the microvalve, and upon inhalation completion deactivates the atomizer and closes the microvalve."
