Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/011968
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the authentication of dosage forms such as tablets, in particular pharmaceutical tablets, by reading, i.e. detecting, code structure from the tablet, reading additional information from the package or on an information sheet, and then comparing the readings to verify authenticity. The code structure may be randomized on a plurality of tablets disposed in identifiable locations in a shared package such that the detected code structures define a unique digital signature for the package of tablets. The code structure or digital signature may be used to verify the authenticity of the dosage forms at various points along the supply chain.
