[0051] Unique markers on manufactured items can be used to track items. For example, a customer order may be linked to one or several identification labels of one or several specific shipping boxes containing the ordered merchandise. "Commodity" in this context means an article of manufacture or other article intended for distribution or sale to a customer. This allows customers, manufacturers and any intermediaries to constantly track the location of desired goods. This can be achieved using a scanner that scans the identifier and communicates with the verification center. Alternatively, the identifier can be read by a human, who then manually communicates with the verification center. The identifier can also be read by customers, national authorities and other parties to verify that a particular item contains a genuine product. For example, a participant may use a scanner to read an identifier on a shipping box (or as discussed above the identifier may be read by a human)...

Background technique [0002] Counterfeit and embargoed goods are a common problem for consumers, manufacturers and government authorities. Counterfeit goods are usually low-quality, unauthorized-manufactured goods that are illegal to sell around the world. These goods are harmful to the customer as they may be of poor quality, may be dangerous (this is especially important for products such as pharmaceuticals or other consumer products). Counterfeit goods are detrimental to manufacturers because they may suffer reputational damage, increased competition from illegal manufacturers producing their products, and violation of other legal rights. Prohibited goods are goods manufactured for the purpose of evading taxes or government regulations, and pose considerable problems for manufacturers ...
