French authentication firm Honnorat Recherches & Services has registered two new patents for authentication and brand protection.
The patents relate to authentication devices which use IR or UV laser beams to reveal markers or invisible printed information on documents, tickets, products or packaging. These authentication systems also relate to laser pointers with multiple beams which can be used on documents and discrete invisible large beams.
According to the company these new devices will help avoid ticket and parking badge counterfeiting and will enable organisations to authenticate products or packaging in shops.
