mintellect

Mintellect is a blockchain-powered platform designed to revolutionize how intellectual property is valued, accessed, and commercialized. Every year, tens of thousands of patents, especially in India, remain stuck in a lengthy 3–5 year approval process. During this limbo period, startups stall, research is underutilized, and innovators lose critical opportunities for funding and growth.

Mintellect provides a breakthrough solution by tokenizing pending patents as secure digital assets. Through blockchain verification and tokenization, each pending patent is represented as a unique NFT, with fractional rights available via the ERC-7943 uRWA (universal Real-World Asset) standard. These compliant digital assets can then be licensed, traded, or used for fundraising, creating liquidity for intellectual property long before official approval.

The platform’s smart contracts enable programmable, enforceable licensing agreements, reducing legal uncertainty and transaction friction. Mintellect’s integrated AI further enhances the ecosystem by suggesting commercialization pathways, potential partnerships, and industry applications for listed patents.

This creates tangible benefits across the innovation ecosystem:

Inventors & Startups can monetize their pending patents, raise IP-backed funding, and collaborate without losing ownership.

Academia can showcase unused research, attract industry partnerships, and earn pre-grant licensing revenue.

Corporations gain early access to cutting-edge technology, accelerating innovation pipelines.

Investors can discover high-potential, IP-backed assets and support underfunded innovations.

By bridging inventors, investors, researchers, and industry, Mintellect transforms idle intellectual property into active opportunities. Starting in India and expanding globally, the platform reimagines how ideas are unlocked and scaled, turning patents from static paperwork into dynamic, liquid digital assets.

In short, Mintellect is the world’s first blockchain marketplace for pending patents, powered by NFTs, uRWA compliance, and AI, deployed on the Polygon testnet, accelerating invention, amplifying impact, and empowering inventors worldwide.

Mintellect is built as a full-stack Web3 platform that combines blockchain, AI, and modern web technologies to tokenize pending patents and make them liquid digital assets. Here’s how it all comes together:

1. Frontend

React.js + Next.js 15: The web interface is built with React for dynamic, interactive components and Next.js for server-side rendering, routing, and SEO optimization.

Tailwind CSS & Framer Motion: Used for a modern, responsive UI with smooth animations, glassmorphism cards, and a polished marketplace feel.

Dynamic Theming: Light/dark mode is supported across components for accessibility and better UX.

1. Backend & APIs

Node.js + Express: Serves as the primary API backend, handling authentication, patent submission, tokenization requests, and interactions with the blockchain.

MongoDB Atlas: Stores user accounts, patent metadata, and platform-related state. MongoDB’s flexible schema is ideal for storing diverse patent and licensing information.

JWT & Session Management: Secure user authentication and session persistence for inventors, investors, and industry users.

1. Blockchain Layer

Ethereum-compatible Polygon Testnet: Smart contracts are deployed on Polygon testnet for low-cost, scalable experimentation.

NFTs + ERC-7943 (uRWA):

Each pending patent is represented as a unique NFT storing metadata and attestation proofs.

Fractional rights and enforceable transfer rules are implemented using ERC-7943, enabling compliance, freezing, and forced transfers.

Smart Contracts & Licensing: Programmable licensing agreements are embedded in smart contracts, allowing automated royalty distribution, usage tracking, and enforceable IP transfers.

1. IP Verification & AI Integration

Off-chain patent verification: Patents are verified against official databases and stored as signed proofs on IPFS.

1. Partner Technologies & Benefits

IPFS (via Pinata): Decentralized storage of patent proofs ensures transparency and tamper-resistance.

Polygon Testnet: Cheap, fast blockchain experimentation without mainnet costs.

Mintellect is a fully integrated Web3 ecosystem where the frontend, backend, AI, and blockchain layers interoperate seamlessly. Inventors, investors, and corporations can safely tokenize, trade, and monetize patents while ensuring compliance, enforceability, and transparency - all on a fast, modern stack that’s ready to scale.
