Abstract

The present invention relates to a tamper-resistant fastener system comprising (1) an anti-theft screw with a head having multiple recessed holes arranged in a unique pattern, and (2) a specialized key (driver bit) having matching protrusions configured to mate precisely with the screw head recesses. This anti-theft system provides improved security against unauthorized removal compared to standard screws, because conventional tools cannot engage the proprietary recess pattern. 20 25 20 10 84 16 F eb 2 02 5 A B S T R A C T 1 6 F e b 2 0 2 5 2 0 2 5 2 0 1 0 8 4
