Abstract: An unauthorized-product detection system may compare data representing various authentication markers of items presumed to have been produced or sourced by a particular entity with stored data representing valid authentication markers of items produced or sourced by the particular entity. The authentication markers may represent inherent physical characteristics of the items or their packaging, or may be generated and applied to the items or their packaging to facilitate counterfeit detection and/or for other purposes. The data (some of which may be encrypted) may be captured using high-resolution cameras, scanners, or other devices, and then communicated to the unauthorized-product detection system for analysis. The system may maintain a data store of data representing captured or valid authentication markers and may store tracking information reflecting the use of various authentication markers. The system may provide various unauthorized product detection services to consumers, retailers, or members of a supply-chain.

Abstract translation: 未经授权的产品检测系统可以将表示由特定实体产生或来源的项目的各种认证标记的数据与存储的表示由特定实体产生或来源的物品的有效认证标记的数据进行比较。 认证标记可以表示物品或其包装的固有物理特征，或者可以产生并应用于物品或其包装，以便于伪造检测和/或用于其他目的。 可以使用高分辨率相机，扫描器或其他设备来捕获数据（其中一些可能被加密），然后传送到未经授权的产品检测系统进行分析。 系统可以维护表示捕获或有效认证标记的数据的数据存储，并且可以存储反映各种认证标记的使用的跟踪信息。 该系统可以向消费者，零售商或供应链的成员提供各种未经授权的产品检测服务。
