ValidateMyTag^TM was created by FBrothers & Company, Inc. to provide an anti-counterfeiting solution to the luxury goods industry, enabling manufacturers to protect their most valuable asset- their brand image, while giving consumers peace of mind that purchased goods are genuine.

 

The novelty of ValidateMyTag^TM comes from the utilization of banknotes to serve as the "certificate of authenticity" for luxury goods.  After investigating other brand protection solutions, we concluded that there was little need to print special tags containing overt and covert security features when the Bureau of Engraving and Printing has already achieved this with low denomination bills.  In addition, each banknote has a unique serial number which makes it ideal for authentication and track and trace purposes.  Not to mention, the criminal penalties for counterfeiting currency goes far beyond the penalties that are enforced for counterfeiting special tags or trademarked goods.
