MUMBAI, India, June 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641065335 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on May 18, 2026, for A Provenance-Locked Inference System And Method For Deterministic Conflict Resolution In Knowledge-Based Rule Engines.
Inventors include E. P. Ephzibah; Kalihitesh K; and R Ajay.
The application for the patent was published on June 12, 2026, under issue no. 24/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a provenance-locked inference system (100) capable of automatically detecting conflict sets formed by simultaneously triggered executable rules sharing common action targets. The system (100) comprises a computing device (102) having a processor (104) and a memory (106) for storing one or more machine-readable instructions executable by the processor (104). The processor (104) is configured to execute plurality of modules (108) for automated conflict resolution in a knowledge-based inference environment. The plurality of modules (108) comprises an input module (110), a document ingestion module (112), a storage module (114), a provenance lock module (116), a natural language fact input module (118), a forward-chaining inference module (120), a provenance scoring module (122), a domain weight registry module (124), a conflict resolving module (126), and an audit trail generation module (128). The proposed system (100) capable of dynamically adapting rule evaluation behavior based on knowledge-change velocity associated with different operational domains.
