The costs and risks that come with an influx of counterfeit products have led governments and corporations to develop anti-counterfeiting strategies.
Many companies, for example, are tightening their supply chain control and management and accelerating their supply chains with just-in-time sourcing that can close the window on the time available to develop counterfeit products.
Recently developed brand protection technologies can help give manufacturers the edge they need to protect their products, reduce or eliminate false warranty costs and even expand into new geographic areas with confidence.
