Identification element for verifying item authenticity has stored authentification data provided by microscopic position markings and structured fields together with data provided by identification element separation edges

摘要

The identification element (11) has individual markings (13,17) for accurate positioning of the identification element, together with individually structured fields (14) , for providing visually readable data, which are both visible under a microscope. The separation edges formed when the identification element is separated from a crystalline wafer provide further data stored with the data provided by the scanned markings and the structured fields for authenticity verification.
