Tamper-proof label and its QR code.

Abstract

The invention relates to the creation of a tamper-proof label on which a QR code is printed. When scanned, this code automatically links to a digital proof certificate generated by the blockchain from which the QR code originates. This certificate authenticates and verifies that the contents and container are indeed the genuine product made by the manufacturer and / or designer. [Fig. 1] for the aggregate

Description

Title of the invention: Unalterable label and its QR-Code.

[0001] The invention relates to the creation of an unalterable label on which is printed a QR-Code which, when scanned or flashed, automatically refers to a digital proof certificate produced by the blockchain from which said QR-Code originates in order to authenticate and verify that the content and container is indeed the authentic product made by the manufacturer and / or the creator-designer of the product.

[0002] Today there are many types of labels to thwart counterfeiters.

[0003] However, there is no label like the present invention which is unalterable to products, to shocks having on its printable face a QR-Code referring to a digital certificate of proof of authenticity anchored on the blockchain and whose adhesive support will severely damage or destroy the containing support.

[0004] The present invention makes it possible to remedy the above disadvantages, and is illustrated by way of example without the applications being limiting.

[0005] Fig. 1 schematically represents the different parts of the label incorporating a QR code and its specific adhesive part.

[0006] With reference to the figure:

[0007] Unalterable label (1) printable by laser or thermal transfer or inkjet and suitable for receiving a static or dynamic QR-Code (2) previously issued from a digital timestamp certificate and proof of authenticity on the blockchain impregnated with a glue or adhesive (3) suitable for the receiving medium whose sticking or adhesive power will not allow the label to be removed without damaging or partially destroying the medium on which the label is placed, whether manually or by a labeling machine.

[0008] Thus, according to a preference of the invention, it will apply to a label having ultra-high-performance adhesion for glass. Indeed, the invention will apply, preferably, to a tamper-evident single-material or multi-component label whose adhesive is a single-component or two-component polymerizing in air or by accelerated polymerization using ultraviolet or infrared light, bearing the imprint of a QR code to verify the authenticity of a container / content by a digital certificate anchored on the blockchain, including, in the present case, a glass bottle, flask, or container.

[0009] This embodiment is innovative and finds application in the wine or luxury sectors where counterfeiting is rampant at all levels. For example, the consumer or restaurateur will not only be able to verify the authenticity the content via the QR code, but it will become difficult for a counterfeiter to peel off the label with the risk of cracking or breaking the glass container.

[0010] Indeed, the particularity of this authenticity verification label also entails the characteristics of damaging the container, either directly if the label is glued directly, or destroying it by attempting to peel off the label in order to stick on another counterfeit one.

[0011] The label is mass-produced with standard or custom dimensions in materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, woven or non-woven fabric, fiberglass, polycarbonate, wood, cork, aluminum, carbon, glass or by the effect of a complexation between materials.

[0012] This written description uses examples to disclose embodiments of the invention and also to enable a person skilled in the art to carry out embodiments of the invention, including the manufacture and use of any device or system and the performance of any incorporated process. The patentable scope of the invention is defined by the claims and may include other examples that are apparent to a person skilled in the art. These other examples are intended to fall within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements with non-substantial differences from the literal language of the claims.

[0013] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments or fields of activity previously described.

Claims

Demands

1. Tamper-evident label (1) printable by laser or thermal transfer or inkjet and suitable for receiving a static or dynamic QR-Code (2) previously issued from a digital timestamp certificate and proof of authenticity on the blockchain impregnated with a glue or adhesive (3) suitable for the receiving medium deposited manually or by a labeler.

2. Unalterable label according to claim 1 characterized in that the label is made of a single material or complex, the glue or adhesive being a single component or a two-component polymerizing in air or by an accelerated polymerization by ultraviolet or infrared, receiving the printing of a blockchain QR code.

3. Tamper-proof label according to claims 1 and 2 characterized in that the tamper-proof label printed with the QR-Code automatically refers, when flashed or scanned, to a digital proof certificate produced by the blockchain from which it originates to authenticate and verify that the content and container is indeed the authentic product made by the manufacturer and / or the creator-designer of the product.

4. The tamper-evident label according to any one of the preceding claims is characterized in that the label is mass-produced in various dimensions with materials such as paper, cardboard, plastic, woven or non-woven fabric, fiberglass, polycarbonate, wood, cork, aluminum, carbon, glass or by the effect of a complexation between the materials.

5. The tamper-evident label according to any one of the preceding claims is characterized in that the glue or ultra-strong adhesive will damage the container or part when it is peeled off.
