Benefits of technology

The patent is about a way to make an RFID tag that can be easily removed but cannot be easily attached to another device without being detected. The rush to make RFID tags easily removable can make them vulnerable to being transferred to other articles, which defeats their purpose in reducing counterfeit drugs or other counterfeit items.

Problems solved by technology

A problem with using RFID tags to store security, confidential and / or personal information is that an RFID reader can read any RFID tags that pass within its range.
Even if data is encrypted, this creates a possibility of unauthorized access to the personal data and other information stored in the RFID tag.
