摘要： The present invention is addressed to providing a simple method for labeling an object for its verification. The method of the present invention for labeling an object for its verification commences with applying to a location on said object a mark which creates a permanent impression thereof which is perceptible to the unaided eye and a mark which creates a permanent impression thereof which is imperceptible to the unaided eye, yet which can be determined by mechanical, electrical, and/or biologic means. In prior art a combination of UV dye and amino acid/protein fragment was used to label objects for their identification. The present invention broadens such dual labeled scheme to include a variety of additional 'invisible' labeling techniques. Additionally, the present invention includes the recognition that, in order to stop counterfeiting of records and like consumer goods, a visible mark also must be present on the object. A hologram or other visible indicia would provide the owner (and the copyist) with one level of protection in ascertaining the genuiness of the object. The second means is 'invisible' to the owner (and the copyist) and is designed to be difficult (if not impossible) for the copyist to duplicate.

摘要： Kit for labeling an object for identification thereof includes an inkpad containing an ink bearing an ultra-violet (UV) radiation sensitive dye, a binder, a first biologic mark, and being invisible in the absence of UV light. The kit also includes an integral writing instrument housing a UV light and an ink pen bearing ink that bearings a UV dye and a second biologic marker. The kit further contains an ink pen housing an ink bearing a UV dye and a third biologic marker, and being invisible in the absence of UV light. An inventory list to record objects labeled with said kit is included in the kit additionally.
