Anti-counterfeit Tracking

Counterfeit refers to goods that visually resemble the original and are sold as such but are actually made by counterfeiters. Counterfeiting is illegal and has a negative impact on both the manufacturers and the customers.

For the manufacturers, it means loss of profit and reputation damage, as counterfeits are usually much worse in quality. Likewise, the customers might pay less for a counterfeit product but receive an item of poor quality.

A good example of a counterfeit is fake designer items. Counterfeiters might produce such items as handbags, shoes, or jewelry and try to mimic the appearance of the original product by copying the brands' logo or the packaging.

Anti-counterfeit characteristics are features (often invisible to the naked eye) that are used to make it difficult to counterfeit a product. Features like barcodes, serial numbers, and RFID chips can be used to protect the authenticity of products.

In addition to that, countermeasures can be taken online to stop counterfeiting. Such technologies as web scraping can be used to detect fake products on the market and take legal action against criminals.

Yes, a counterfeit product is always a fake version of the original.
