MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641063495 A) filed by M. Kumarasamy College Of Engineering, Karur, Tamil Nadu, on May 20, for 'system for pre-installation dependency analysis with behavioral fingerprinting and generative alternative synthesis.'
Inventor(s) include Mrs. M. Shobana; Mr. S. Krishnamoorthi; Dharaneesh Kesavan; Mathivanan S; Dharani S; and Vignesh D.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a pre-installation package analysis and risk prediction system for software dependency management across multiple ecosystems. The system intercepts package manager commands prior to execution and performs a non-intrusive analysis using metadata obtained from package registries without downloading or installing the packages. A data collection module retrieves package attributes including version ranges, dependencies, maintainers, and release history. A compatibility analysis engine converts version constraints into mathematical interval representations to detect dependency conflicts and predict installation success. A behavioral fingerprinting module analyzes package archive headers to infer functional characteristics without executing code. A health scoring module evaluates package reliability using factors including maintainer churn, bus factor, and update staleness. A generative alternative module produces native code substitutes to reduce dependency usage. A rollback simulation module estimates removal complexity based on reverse dependencies. The system supports multiple package ecosystems through modular adapters."
