Record 15 1998-08-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Copyright, Patent and Trademark Law
  • Security Devices
  • Photoelectricity and Electron Optics
DEF

a system of identification (based on digitized light patterns) designed to make a product difficult to fake or at least easily distinguishable from knockoffs.

CONT

Light patterns : A Los Angeles-based company, Light Signatures, Inc., creates its fingerprints by extracting random patterns inherent within the product itself. A computerized processor passes a high-intensity light beam through a paper label to be affixed to merchandise. The processor captures a picture of the tangled web of fibers in the paper, digitizes it and converts it into a number, which is printed on the label. Forgers can copy the numbers on the labels, but they can’t match the code to the fiber pattern. To check suspect goods, a manufacturer sends the labels back to Light Signatures, which compares their optical fingerprints to the numbered images. If the two don’t match, the labels-and probably the goods-are fake.
