Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to anti-diversion, anti-counterfeiting and anti-tampering devices and methods and more particularly to a security packing tape having machine-detectable structures.
  • Diversion is often characterized by the term "gray- market goods", or simply "gray goods.” These are products sold in one market area, e.g., the United States, that were lawfully produced but which the manufacturer or authorized reseller did not intend for sale in that market. The merchandise is authentic product from the manufacturer, but that product has been diverted from its intended destination. Diversion is also sometimes referred to as "parallel importation.”
  • a United States publisher of computer software may, for example, have only a small market share in Mexico. As a business strategy, that publisher may legitimately decide to introduce a new product into the Mexican market at a substantial discount compared to the sales price for the same product in the United States. If the discount is large enough, it becomes possible for U.S. parties to purchase the software in Mexico and import it to the United States for resale at a discount over the same product in authorized channels. Or a United States drug manufacturer may desire for a variety of reasons to sell drugs to combat AIDS in Africa at a steeply discounted price relative to sales in Europe or the United States. In that case, European and U.S. parties might purchase the drugs in Africa and import them to Europe and the U.S. where they can sell them for full price.
  • a manufacturer may limit its retail distribution to upscale markets.
  • An example of this practice is the cosmetics trade where some products are only sold through salons or selected stores. Mass retailers who would like to sell the same product may find it abroad on sale at deeply discounted prices. The discounter may then have an opportunity to enter the market from which the producer has tried to exclude it.
  • Counterfeiting occurs in three forms. In the first form, only the labeling on the goods is counterfeited in order to disguise gray market or black market items. In the second form, the goods themselves are copied and these usually inferior goods are sold as authentic goods, possibly also with counterfeit labeling. In the third and final form, authorized manufacturers are producing additional unauthorized product. Counterfeiting often occurs when there is high demand for an inexpensive look-a-like of a particular product (as

Abstract

L'invention concerne une bande auto-adhésive qui présente une signature optique pouvant être authentifiée par un lecteur optique portable. La figure 1 présente les vues de dessus et de côté de ladite bande. Ladite bande est constituée d'un substrat en plastique ou en polyester. Au moins une signature optique est fixée à la bande qui est invisible à l'oeil nu pour un humain, et difficile à détecter sans posséder une connaissance avancée des paramètres spécifiques.
