Description

DNA Containing Polymer Based Anti-counterfeit Coating For Object Identification, Authentication, Provenance And Manufacturing Method Thereof LU100906 Technical Field

1. The present disclosure relates to anti-counterfeiting systems and methods, and more particularly, to a system and method for uniquely identifying objects (hereinafter interchangeably referred to as “product”, “article”, “item”, “piece”, “device”, “gadget”, “artifact”, or “entity”) so as to be able to distinguish genuine items from counterfeit versions and genuine items from other genuine items and genuine items in a stage of the supply chain from other genuine items, as well as the same genuine item, at a different stage in the supply chain. Furthermore to identify its chain of provenance and timestamps from manufacturing and through suppliers, supply chain checkpoints, and all intermediaries to stores.

Background And Prior-Art

2. Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.

3. Counterfeiting of items such as goods, materials, and documents defrauds consumers, tarnishes the brand names of legitimate manufacturers and providers of such items, and can endanger public health (for example, when adulterated foods and pharmaceuticals are passed off as genuine). Counterfeiting is a hugely lucrative business, with criminals relying on the continued demand for prestigious goods coupled with low production and distribution costs. Today counterfeit products, including counterfeit famous brand products and counterfeit or forged fine artworks are often manufactured with the intention to take advantage of the superior value of the imitated product. Some counterfeit products are almost indistinguishable from authentic items by human eyes and even by some testing equipment. At present, counterfeit products are creating a serious problem in many countries in the world resulting in huge economic losses and negatively impacting both consumers and producers of the trustworthy items. For example, when a retailer customer is buying a prestigious item, the customer is in most cases unaware of the authenticity of such item. The customer is unaware if the item is from an authorized company and contains the standards of quality or characteristics expected in such prestigious item or it is a product infiltrated to an otherwise apparently trustable source. This is a generic problem which is faced not only by customers or consumers but also faced by producers of genuine products. Counterfeit products can also disrupt regular economic operations of many countries.

4. Advancements in modern technology have led to the development of various new and advanced anti-counterfeiting measures that prevent imitation and copying of products without an owner's allowance. Anti-counterfeiting measures have included serial numbers, machine-readable identifiers (e.g., scannable barcodes and two-dimensional codes), “tamper-proof and or copy-proof” security labels (e.g., holograms and labels that change state or partly, or completely, self-destruct on removal), laser stickers, entity particles attached to a product, and remotely detectable tags (e.g., radio- frequency identification tags) applied to items directly or to tags, labels, and or packaging for such items.

5. Apart from the above, one of the most commonly available and used anti-counterfeiting measure and or technology which is most commonly used in bills, receipts, and few articles in the existing art, is a certain pattern embedded in the electronics bills, receipts, and few articles. However, this method of embedding the certain pattern in the bills, receipts, and few articles has a problem: the content of the embedded pattern is not related to the content of the protected picture, and the embedding pattern is easy to be forged. Another most commonly available and used anti-counterfeiting measure and or | |technology is that an anti-counterfeiting digital watermarking is embedded in the bills, receipts, and few articles. However, this method of embedding the anti-counterfeiting digital watermarking in thé U100906 bills, receipts, and few articles may be limited by the format and the content of the picture, and the embedding capacity of the digital watermarking is not high.

6. Thus, in spite of various developments of anti-counterfeiting measures and or technology using barcode, watermarking, laser stickers, entity particles attached to the products and the like are already well adapted to provide an anti-counterfeit preliminary mechanism, they are not complete. For instance, barcodes on current electronic devices do not have a complete anti-counterfeit mechanism and such measures have themselves been counterfeited. The main reason is that according to the conventional anti-counterfeit method, it is difficult to determine whether barcodes, watermarking, laser stickers, entity particles attached to the products and the like are forged due to remaking, recording or replicating them. In light of such counterfeiting, consumers generally have been unable to rely upon such measures in order to verify the authenticity of marked or tagged items. Consequently, developing an anti-counterfeit mechanism for items and or products is getting more crucial in order to solve the problem of remaking, recording or replicating the barcodes and or tags provided for the items and or products.

7. United States Patent US7842793B2 discloses a method for ex vivo production of non-naturally occurring nuclei acid nanostructures of arbitrary two-dimensional or three-dimensional shape. The shape includes selecting a desired shape, providing a single stranded DNA polynucleotide scaffold, designing a folding path, designing a plurality of single stranded oligonucleotide helpers to hold said scaffold, and mixing said scaffold with said plurality of helpers, and producing said nanostructure by allowing said polynucleotide scaffold and helpers to anneal. The shape contains only structural components, and it is not intended for storing complex high density information. The shape does not conceals messages with synthetic polymers.

8. United States Patent US9765341B2 discloses DNA origami devices useful in targeted delivery of biologically active entities. The device comprises aptamer domain and latch domain. The device exists in an open and close configuration. The device is capable of enclosing biologically active entities. The device shape provides structural capacity while containing only structural components and without any component with human readable information. The device does not conceals messages.

9. United States Patent US6312911B1 discloses a method for DNA-based steganography. The method comprises concealing a DNA encoded message within a genomic sample, followed by further concealment of the DNA sample in a microdot. The method use genomic steganography to mark and authenticate an object of interest. The method does not contain structural three dimensional steganography elements. Furthermore, the method does not conceals messages with synthetic polymers other than nucleic acid. The method is limited by its requirements on the message to be flanked with known primer sequences.

10. United States Patent US7995196B1 discloses a method for authenticating an object, comprising determining a physical dispersion pattern of a set of elements, determining a physical characteristic of the set of elements which is distinct from a physical characteristic producible by a transfer printing technology, determining a digital code associated with the object defining the physical dispersion pattern, and authenticating the object by verifying a correspondence of the digital code with the physical dispersion pattern, and verifying the physical characteristic. The authentication method is based on a pattern and not on the nature of information itself.

11. The United States Patent Application US20070170257A1 discloses an authentication method is provided that is based on a reference object, such as an authentication label attached to an optical disc. The authentication label has a three-dimensional distribution of particles. For the purposes of authentication, it is determined whether there is, in fact, a three-dimensional particle distribution. Next, a two-dimensional data acquisition step is performed for the purpose of authentication. This method is particularly useful for copy protection. The authentication method is based on the reference object and not on the nature of information itself.

12. United States Patent US8469282B2 discloses a security tag made by randomly distributing amixture of large numbers of multicolored objects into a unique, non-reproducible geometric array and encapsulating it onto a carrier. The 3-D aspect of the objects will prevent printing or 2-D copying U100906 of the stamp. The data, saved to a secure database, can be processed and quantities can be calculated from the field of binary data and can be affixed to the part that the stamp is affixed to. For one level of authentication, the array can be read out by the scanner and compared to values printed on the part. For an additional level of authentication, the array can be read out by an optical scanner and compared to the data stored in the secure database. The security tag is capable of replacing 2-D barcodes while containing only information capable of being scanned by 2-D barcode scanners. The security tag contains static information and cannot increase its complexity.

13. More recently, techniques have evolved for authentication of the digital information, for example, based on cryptographic techniques. However, these techniques do not serve to verify the authenticity of a particular copy of the information. In fact, modern digital content protection schemes do seek to prevent digital copying of content; however, these rely on secure hardware for storage of the digital content, and a breach of hardware security measures results in copyable content with no distinction between an original and a copy thereof.

14. Accordingly, there is a need for a secure, improved and technically advanced system and method for solving the above recited technical problems by way of providing an identification and authentication coating capable of being integrated in any surface and material for article authentication and provenance. Further, there is also a need for the identification and authentication coating to be discrete, invisible to naked eye and innocuous to the object. Further, there is also a need for the information contained in the identification and authentication coating to be secured and understandable only to authorized trustable members of the object supply chain. Furthermore, in view of the growing technology, there is a need to authenticate the identification and authentication coating utilizing supervised algorithms or customized machine learning neuronal networks.

118. FIG. 4 illustrates a product distribution architecture as usually exists presently (Prior Art). As illustrated in FIG. 4, a supply chain of a product to its customer may have different intermediaries 191 (interchangeably termed as entities herein) while the customer can also be termed as an entity. As illustrated, in an exemplary embodiment, a product 192 produced at a factory 193 may first be stored at a dispatch station 194 that may be within the factory premises itself. Thereafter, it can proceed to a state warehouse 195, a city warehouse 196, and a local warehouse 197 and finally to a retail shop 198 from where customer 199 can purchase it.

119. As can be appreciated, at all such points (as well as between them, while the product 192 is on transit trucks, for example), product 192 can be pilfered and replaced with a counterfeit one to avoid detection of the pilferage. While it may have serial numbers, machine readable identifiers (e.g., scannable barcodes and two-dimensional codes), “tamper-proof/copy-proof ” security labels (e.g., holograms and labels that change state or partly or completely self-destruct on removal), laser stickers, entity particles attached to a product, and remotely detectable tags (e.g., radio-frequency identification tags) applied to items directly or to tags, labels, and/or packaging for such items, those normal codes can easily be copied, remade or replicated and stuck on the counterfeit product making it very difficult to detect that a counterfeit product has been introduced in the supply chain or the point/stage/entity where such counterfeiting has taken place. In light of such counterfeiting, consumers generally have been unable to rely upon such measures in order to verify the authenticity of marked or tagged items. Consequently, developing an anti-counterfeit mechanism for items and or | products is becoming more crucial in order to solve the problem of copying, remaking, forging or replicating the barcodes and or tags provided for the items/products.

120. In a similar manner, even when a product 192 is delivered directly from dispatch station 194 to customer 199 using an online order system 200 there is a possibility that it can be replaced with a counterfeit one since such attempts may be made at the dispatch station 194 itself, as well as the supply chain system of the online order system 200. |

121. The pilfered product 192 can be diverted to another supply chain with different entities. It maybe adulterated and so, this may pose a danger to a customer although it is seemingly genuine. The manufacturer is interested in identifying such alternate distribution channels as well and the customekU100906 should also be warned appropriately. Such a diverted product can, hence, as well be considered as a counterfeit product since it is not following its intended/authorized distribution path.

122. In addition, unauthentic products 201 may be sold in a parallel supply chain, and reach customer 199, through unofficial channels 202. Said unauthenticated products may attempt to represent authentic products 192, and may falsely represent the properties of authentic products 192. The manufacturer may want to detect unauthentic products 201 sold as authentic products 192.

123. In addition, an authentic product 192 can be created from several components 203, and supplier may breach exclusivity clauses of product components 203.

124. Furthermore, the supply chain can take place in one or several geographical locations 204.

125. Accordingly, there is a need for a secure, improved and technically advanced system and method for solving above recited technical problems by way of providing discrete identification and authentication coatings for article authentication and provenance. Further, there is also a need to securely store the information contained in the coating. Furthermore, in view of the growing technology, there is a need to authenticate the product utilizing supervised algorithms or customized machine learning neuronal networks.
