Risk of Liability
Legislation regarding product liability obliges manufacturers more and more to mark their products in so that both, originals and faked products can be easily recognized.
Hidden security features are one of the possible options.
However, if it is known and proven that counterfeits are in circulation the customer should, also be able to easily distinguish between genuine and faked products. Only this way can the consumer be protected against losses.
No manufacturer can be seriously interested in his products being counterfeited. And should the counterfeited product be connected with a risk, the manufacturer can be held liable.
