System of brand and product authentication for consumer goods

IntelliMark, a system of brand and product authentication for consumer goods, documents, food and apparel, is based on a microscopic ®mark® covert marker integrated into products which can be viewed with a specialized detection instrument. The anti-counterfeit process emerged from a partnership between ARmark Authentication Technologies LLC, Glen Rock, Pa. (experts at integrating marks into products), and Smiths Detection, Watford, England (developers of identification equipment). The marks can be delivered as aerosols, inks, overprint varnishes, papers, adhesives or films. Integrated security system can help stop shipments of bogus knock-offs from undercutting brand-name products. Read more at www.rmark.org.
