Patent Lite

A decentralized intellectual property acquiring system using permissioned ethereum blockchain with web and android interface.

The problem Patent Lite solves

Each country has it own protocol and its own database for the patents. To query those, we need to use an external search engine like Google patents.By using our platform, various countries can be united on a single decentralized permissioned blockchain allowing to track the progress of the patents. The database being immutable serves as a trustworthy proof for legal proceedings. Patent records will be well maintained and safe on the blockchain.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating Azure Workbench API in Android platform, calling and managing API calls and turning the Patent Act into a Solidity contract.
The integration problem was solved using Postman where we could finally retrieve the bearer token to access the API.
We were able to make proper API calls using the Azure Docs.
The contract was a tough job but we referred to various sources about the process of filing a patent and could finally design the contract.
