MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061687 A) filed by Christ University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on May 15, for 'system for structured evaluation of stardom elevation potential in films.'

Inventor(s) include Sangeetha PS; and Dr. Jais Merlin P. Augustine.

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 invention relates to analytical evaluation systems for film studies, media assessment, and structured actor-performance classification, and particularly to a system and method for determining stardom elevation potential of principal film actors from film-internal analytical constructs. The system comprises a variable matrix having separately codable analytical constructs associated with role type, narrative centrality, screen-space distribution, performance intensity, visual emphasis, socio-cultural positioning, commercial appeal, and trend-setting indicators, an operational definition module providing predefined coding rules and scoring criteria, a coding interface for receiving analytical entries, a scoring module for aggregating coded outputs into a composite stardom-elevation score, and a threshold classification module for generating classification outputs. The invention enables standardized, reproducible, and multidimensional evaluation of film-based actor-elevation potential while reducing dependence on external fame indicators."
