MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133702 A) filed by Chettiar, Kannappan Karuppan, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'relational search engine.'
Inventor(s) include Chettiar, Kannappan Karuppan.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A relational search engine is disclosed for retrieving and presenting relational explanations between entities based on trust-aware evaluation of multi-hop relationships. The system receives a query identifying a source entity and a target entity and accesses a relation graph comprising entities and directional relations. Candidate multi-hop relational paths connecting the source entity to the target entity are identified and evaluated using trust metadata associated with individual relations. For each candidate path, a cumulative path resistance value is computed to model degradation of relational trust across successive hops. Candidate paths whose cumulative path resistance exceeds a predetermined threshold are pruned, and remaining paths are ranked according to ascending resistance. The system outputs one or more ranked relational paths as explicit explanatory chains connecting the source entity to the target entity. In certain embodiments, cryptographic provenance information associated with relation edges is anchored to a distributed ledger, enabling independent verification of relational integrity without reliance on probabilistic inference or global node ranking."
