MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511104611 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 30, 2025, for 'system for classifying and sorting electronic waste.'

Inventor(s) include Sanjay Sood; Sumit Mittu; Dr. Balraj Kumar; and Navdeep Singh.

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 system for classifying and sorting electronic waste comprises of a neural network framework 101 integrating EfficientNet 102, MobileNet 103, and a Sequential Neural Network (SNN), configured to perform accurate multi-class classification of e-waste items, the system applies advanced preprocessing 104 techniques, including Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) to balance class distributions and data augmentation such as rotation, scaling, and flipping of images to improve model robustness, the framework extracts deep hierarchical features using EfficientNet 102, captures computationally efficient patterns with MobileNet 103, and models sequential and contextual relationships with SNN to enhance intra-class separability."
