Will employing Contrast Technologies help prevent counterfeiting ?
Directly “no”, indirectly “yes”. Clearly no one can ever l00% prevent someone producing counterfeit goods.
However by being able to instantly confirm they are counterfeit, the greater the chance exists of conducting a speedy and successful investigation, leading to the closing down of an illegal operation.
Will employing Contrast Technologies help prevent unauthorised diversion ? (‘Grey Marketing’)
Directly “no”, indirectly “yes”. Again there will always be people in a distribution chain who will see an opportunity to divert for a quick profit.
However even thought they may try and cover their tracks by removing the bar code or ultra violet identification markings, it is difficult for them to remove what is invisible.
Therefore it will be possible to precisely track the source and intended destination, thereby identifying at which point in the distribution chain the goods were diverted. The appropriate action can then be taken to close the grey link.
Will the appearance of any products be altered ?
No, as our technologies are invisible, no one can tell any difference.
What exactly is it that a Contrast client pays for ?
Contrast clients pay for the right to use our patented technologies that is a patent licence agreement.
