Anti-Counterfeiting Labels & Tags
Protecting a critical layer of the secure-device stack
The largest category. Patents protect dual-mode, hybrid, crack-resistant, and tamper-evident NFC/UHF label designs — including bottle-cap tamper detection, post-opening functionality, and crack-resistant antenna geometries.
NFC Contactless Microcircuits & Modules
Protecting a critical layer of the secure-device stack
Core patents covering NFC antenna system design, contactless module fabrication, tunable inductance coils, dual-interface modules, and signal-adaptive communication interfaces enabling universal NFC interoperability.
Hardware Security & Physical Attack Protection
Protecting a critical layer of the secure-device stack
Foundational patents protecting ICs against laser fault injection, side-channel analysis, power analysis, and unauthorised probing — the security core of secure elements, eSIM, HSM, and cryptographic processors.
RFID & UHF Communication
Protecting a critical layer of the secure-device stack
Long-range UHF RFID innovations covering integrated-circuit design and GSM–UHF bridge devices. Enables high-throughput asset tracking at distances far exceeding NFC range.
