| 20080298633 | Anti-Counterfeit Measures - A conventional cigarette packet in a transparent film of bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) with a tear tape for removing the film adhered to the inside of the film. The tear tape bears an indicium which is either hidden or which changes according to the viewing angle when the image is viewed through the film. The image on the tear tape may be scrambled or coded. The overwrap film includes a descrambling or decoding region which reveals the hidden image or renders the image visible when viewed through the overwrap portion, or creates the visual effect of changing the image according to the viewing angle. The descrambling or decoding region typically comprises a diffraction structure, such as a grating, the characteristics of which, such as its pitch, are complementary with the scrambled or coded image and/or with the pitch of any grid or matrix from which the image is composed. | 12-04-2008 |

| 20080240430 | Graphic Code Application Apparatus and Method - A machine readable code comprises at least a portion of a graphical indicium, the graphical indicium comprising a random arrangement of spots. At least some of the spots comprising the graphical indicium may have a dimension of less than one micrometre. The spots comprising the graphical indicium may vary in size and/or shape. The portion of the graphical indicium comprising the code may be delimited by a boundary, the boundary may be a temporary boundary which may be generated by a reading machine relative to a fixed trigger point only when the code is being read. Alternatively, the portion of the graphical indicium comprising the code may be delimited by a graphically represented boundary. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090173797 | TWO PART CODE - A graphically representable, machine readable code having first and second parts wherein the first part may be associated with data and a second part may be associated with the first part, such that a relationship between the parts, or lack thereof may be discerned by reading both parts of the code, in order to verify the authenticity of the code. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100162413 | Two Part Code - A graphically representable, machine readable code having first and second parts wherein the first part may be associated with data and a second part may be associated with the first part, such that a relationship between the parts, or lack thereof may be discerned by reading both parts of the code, in order to verify the authenticity of the code. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100264215 | Virtual Code Window - A machine readable code is defined by a portion of graphical indicium located on a substrate; wherein the code is delimited by a temporary boundary that is generated by a reading machine relative to a fixed trigger point only when the code is being read. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100282838 | Two Part Code - A graphically representable, machine readable code having first and second parts wherein the first part may be associated with data and a second part may be associated with the first part, such that a relationship between the parts, or lack thereof may be discerned by reading both parts of the code, in order to verify the authenticity of the code. | 11-11-2010 |

| 20090174914 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MAKING ARTICLES - Method and apparatus for applying unique composite indicia or markings to a succession of articles, in which each unique composite indicium comprises two or more indicia. At least part of each of the indicia may be co-located at a predetermined location on the article with such co-location being unique or distinct for each composite indicium for each article. The indicium may be overprinted with one or more images, logos or color-schemes. A code (e.g. an alphanumeric string) that is stored in a database may be derived from the composite indicium from one or more mathematical properties. The code may be later accessed for identifying or verifying the article with the indicium. | 07-09-2009 |
