Self-Healing Concrete SHM Patent Snapshot 2026
The self-healing concrete structural health monitoring patent corpus is at a very early, nascent stage with only 5 patent families on record, all filed in India and concentrated among individual inventors and academic institutions. Activity is fragmented across twelve applicants, each holding a single patent record, with no dominant commercial player yet established.
Twelve applicants, each with one record — a highly fragmented, pre-commercial field
A Anandraj holding the top-ranked position at 1 patent record — identical to every other filer. No single entity has established a commanding portfolio.
The top five filers account for 42% of the ranked applicants visible in this query’ combined total, which in a field this small signals extreme fragmentation rather than meaningful consolidation. There is no discernible tier gap between a leader and challengers; all applicants are at parity.

The absence of large corporate assignees and the presence of multiple Indian engineering colleges and universities suggest that self-healing concrete SHM remains an academic research pursuit rather than an area of active commercial IP strategy. This creates an open field for any organization prepared to file systematically.
The most recent filings (2025–2026) are subject to publication lag and are likely under-counted; the true volume of recent activity may be higher than currently reflected. Longer-window growth, applicant concentration, and technology-route coverage are therefore more reliable signals than the latest-year bar alone.
All recorded activity concentrated in 2025–2026, with a broad but shallow technology mix
The filing trend and technology composition together show a field that has only just begun to generate patent activity, with a technology spread that ranges well beyond core construction materials into diagnostics and AI.
Annual filing trend
Zero filings are recorded from 2017 through 2024; all 5 patent records appear in 2025 (3 records) and 2026 (2 records). Because 2025 and 2026 filings are subject to publication lag, these figures are likely under-counted and should be treated as a floor, not a ceiling. The apparent surge is an artifact of when this field began attracting formal patent filings rather than evidence of rapid acceleration.

G01N (Material analysis and testing) is the visible IPC branch with 4 records, followed by C04B (Ceramics, cement and refractories) and G01M (Testing machine and structure balance) at 2 records each. Fourteen distinct IPC branches appear across only 5 families, indicating that applicants are taking broad, exploratory claim strategies rather than focusing on a narrow technical core. Branches such as G06N (AI models), B82Y (Nanotechnology), and G16B (Bioinformatics) signal early-stage cross-disciplinary experimentation.

Assignee snapshot from the current evidence set
The applicants below are visible in this query result. Because the evidence set is relatively small, read this section as a directional snapshot rather than a full competitive ranking.
A Anandraj
A Anandraj holds 1 patent record and ranks first in the corpus by virtue of filing parity with all other applicants. No applicant momentum data is available, so trajectory cannot be assessed. Technology emphasis data is not separately provided for this individual filer in the evidence.
patent records: 1Chennai Institute of Technology
Chennai Institute of Technology holds 1 patent record, with a technology focus spanning B82Y (Nanotechnology applications), C08J (Polymer processing and solutions), and C09D (Coatings, paints and inks) — the most materials-science-forward profile among the academic filers. No momentum trend data is available. This combination of nanotechnology and coatings suggests an interest in nano-enabled self-healing agents at the material level.
patent records: 1Frequently asked questions
The current corpus contains 5 patent families on record. This is a very small corpus, and given that all filings appear in 2025–2026, the total is subject to upward revision as publication lag resolves.
India is the sole jurisdiction in the corpus, accounting for all 5 patent records. No filings have been identified at other patent offices, including PCT, EPO, or USPTO, within this dataset.
All twelve applicants hold exactly 1 patent record each. The top-ranked applicant is A Anandraj, followed by MRS S Priya, IIMT Business Incubator Foundation, Premkumar, and Dr S Dhavamanidoss, among others. Academic institutions including Chennai Institute of Technology, IIMT University Meerut, Asansol Engineering College, and Swami Vivekananda Subharti University are also present.
G01N (Material analysis and testing) is the most represented IPC branch, appearing in 4 of the 5 patent records. C04B (Ceramics, cement and refractories) and G01M (Testing machine and structure balance) each appear in 2 records. The remaining branches each appear once, reflecting broad, exploratory claim strategies.
One co-filing relationship is recorded: IIMT University Meerut and IIMT Business Incubator Foundation share 1 jointly filed patent record. This is an intra-institutional arrangement. No industry-academia or international co-filing partnerships appear in the current corpus.
No filings are recorded from 2017 through 2024. All 5 patent records appear in 2025 (3 records) and 2026 (2 records). Because these are recent filings, publication lag means current counts are likely understated. The field appears to have only just begun attracting formal patent activity, and the trend should be monitored as more applications publish.

Disclaimer. This page is generated from PatSnap Eureka data drawn from a limited snapshot of global patent and scientific-literature records, and is provided for general information and reference only.
Patent data carries inherent limitations: recent filings (typically the most recent 18–24 months) are under-counted due to standard publication lag; counts may be reported at either a patent-family or a patent-record basis and are not always directly comparable; classification, applicant-name, and citation data may contain errors, duplicates, or omissions; and the underlying search query defines and constrains the scope shown. As a result, the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
