Maharashtra to introduce security holograms to curb illicit liquor

aharashtra: Excise department of Maharashtra is going to introduce security hologram on all liquor bottles manufactured in State by May. According to oficials, the department has decided to introduce security hologram as this will help them in certifying the originality of liquor, as well to deter and check duplication and adulteration of liquor. The state has been witnessing a growing number of issues related to duplication, adulteration and sale of illicit liquor. Since the past few years, the state has become an easy target for bootleggers bringing liquor in illegally from Goa, Daman and other neighboring states. With a surge in such activities showing a spike and liquor prices skyrocketing over the past two years, the concerned department has been mulling ways to curb the menace. The security hologram will act as a tamper-proof seal and will be pasted on the bottle at the manufacturing facility itself said Sanjay Mukherjee, Excise Commissioner.

According to oficial of HOMAI (Hologram Manufacturers Association of India), We appreciate the steps undertaken by the State excise department in their drive against illicit liquor. Security hologram are a mark of authentication that may be recognised by the public and in our opinion the common man in Maharashtra would have beneitted by the presence of a consumer veriiable tool like the hologram. In India more

than 17 States & UT are already using security hologram on liquor bottles. Mandated usage of security hologram in states like Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttrakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Puducherry, Chhattisgarh, Kerala, etc. has not only minimized the tragedies due to spurious liquor but have also substantially increased the excise revenue collection by more than 25-30 per cent.

Zambia: Hologram arrival to boost piracy ight

AMBIA: The holograms which will be afixed on audiovisual products are scheduled to arrive in the country next week. This came to light when Information and Broadcasting Services Permanent Secretary Amos Malupenga led a delegation to OPSEC, a UK based global company specialised in providing anti-counterfeit and brand solutions. OPSEC which has now completed the works was engaged by the Zambian Government to supply ive million holograms. The delegation was in Newcastle to undertake a pre - inspection of the hologrammes before shipment to Zambia. Mr Malupenga said Government was delighted that the problem of piracy that has been a perpetual issue will now be dealt with by

the force it deserves. Piracy continues to be a key challenge in the country and has been a major reason for the losses that the music and video production industry have continued to suffer on the market, he said. He said the holograms will not only help enforcement agencies to check duplication and adulteration but will also help consumers in identifying original products. The permanent secretary said soon after the arrival of the holograms, the Government will set up a taskforce to oversee the implementation process of the security tags. Mr Malupenga further said that Government will launch an anti - piracy awareness campaign to sensitise the public on what the hologram is and how it works. Intellectual Property Specialist Kingsley Nkonde

thanked the Patriotic Front (PF) government for inally bringing the hologram in the country. He said the hologram project was embarked on eight years ago by the previous administration, adding that he was glad that the PF government chose to priorities the project and complete it within a short period of time. OPSEC Marketing Manager Trevor Willis assured the delegation that the hologram was tamper proof. He explained that once afixed on audio-visual products and if a person attempted to remove it, it denigrates into pieces. Government announced plans in 2005 to afix a hologram, a security feature on audio-visual products in a bid to certify the originality of the works and curb the problem of piracy. ZANIS.

Payne introduced holosense

A range of holographic inish range to enhances brand values

K: Payne has launched a range of holographic effect label inishes that offer a high impact and cost-effective means to integrate a high end inish to labels. The new HoloSense effects enable eye-catching holographictype patterns to be added to label designs, enhancing on-shelf presence and consumer appeal. They help to achieve added depth to colours and create a sense of movement that attracts attention on crowded retail shelves. Part of Paynes Inform product range, the HoloSense technology can be incorporated into existing labels or included as part of a new design. Five distinctive patterns are available for the surface inish - Diagonal Stripe, Raindrops,

Kaleidoscope, Mini Lens and Checkerboard and these special effects can be used either as an all-over design or on selective areas of the label. HoloSense is the irst in a number of initiatives that Payne is taking in the development of label print technology which stimulates senses such as sight, touch and smell. It has been recognised that the incorporation of these types of enhancements can help to increase a brands impact by 70 per cent - crucial in highly competitive retail environments where consumers make more than half of their buying decisions at the point of purchase. As Paynes managing director, Martin Dallas explains: A labels

key role is to inform but this does not just mean practical information about a product. It is equally important that the label helps to create or relect brand image, raise consumer expectations and encourage purchase. It is for this reason that many of our customers are asking more of their packaging and looking at additional ways to create value and meaning for the consumer.

JDSU sees hike in currencies using anti-counterfeiting SPARK

DS Uniphase says it has doubled the number of currencies using its next generation anti-counterfeiting technology in the past year. At an analyst day last week, JDSU executives said 38 countries are using SPARK to protect their

currencies, up from 17 one-year ago. JDSU views the use of SPARK by the recently redesigned 5 note as particularly signiicant. Its the lowest value note in the series, and it has adopted the latest generation technology. And whats relevant about that is that today, the Euro only uses OVI on a 50 note and higher, Luke Scrivanich, general manager of optical security and performance products at JDSU, said. OVI is the technology SPARK supersedes. South Africa previously used OVI for its three

biggest bank notes, but has now incorporated SPARK into these bills. OVI is now used for the two lower denominations. SPARK is an optically variable pigment orientated by magnets for overt security. JDSU is looking to expand its anticounterfeiting business beyond currency, with pharmaceuticals a possible target. Additional technology is needed to grow the pharmaceutical business, and an acquisition is one possibility.

Combating counterfeiting: Trade associations become proactive

By C S Jeena
Each and every product from a pencil to aircraft has a trade association formed with an aim to facilitate the business environment for its member companies. Today, in India more than 300 State level industry-trade association exist representing more than 7,00,000* companies. While they are playing an important role in modern and global economies, there are various hindrances which affect their industry / sector growth. Product counterfeiting is one of them. It is affecting all categories of products, but the impact is very high in sectors / product categories like fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), pharmaceuticals, electronics, automobile, aircraft parts, beverages, etc. To address this issue, various trade associations have come forward and are playing a proactive role in curbing this menace. This article highlights their activities and the role trade association can play in curbing this menace to a large extent.

Introduction:
Brand counterfeiting in India is not a new phenomenon. Brands are under attack in various forms such as counterfeiting,piracy, duplication, pilfering, tampering and adulteration of product. These attempts are nothing but an attack on the brand and hence a major risk to the value of the company. Brand attack has many ill effects, the key ones being; a) Reduces the brand value, customers conidence, market share and proitability of a company. b) The brand attacker, who supplies a duplicate or counterfeit product, does not pay any taxes. It is a loss to the collection of taxes for various governments. c) There are reports in the

press mentioning that proits from suchil legal activities are going to terrorists and banned organisations. d) Counterfeiting also sometimes results in the unfortunate loss of human lives. Risk to the Brand must be taken with all seriousness The Government of India is doing its best in developing suitable laws, educating police force and judiciary to deal with litigation arising out of brand attack. However, legal process takes its own time and the attacks on the brand continue. As brands are amongst the most valuable assets of companies, industry association can play a vital role in providing effective information and advising proper anti-counterfeiting strategies to their members.

Well, rst off all a trade association is a medium. A way to get in contact with companies in a certain industry. But also trade associations can advise their members, and play a role on behalf of their members towards governments. The ideal situation is when membership to an association is a guarantee to the quality and origin of a product. In that way, associations need to check and verify memberships. - Eef de Ferrante Director at Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association

Importance of industry association in curbing counterfeiting

According to Eef de Ferrante, Director at Active & Intelligent Packaging Industry Association, Well, irst off all a trade association is a medium. A way to get in contact with companies in a certain industry. But also trade associations can advise their members, and play a role on behalf of their members towards governments. The ideal situation is when membership to an association is a guarantee to the quality and origin of a product. In that way, associations need to check and verify memberships. Big trade associations such as FICCI, CII and ASSOCHAM have discussed and taken up the ight against the menace of counterfeit at various forums highlighting the loss to the brand owner, government, society and to consumers. There have been seminars and meeting with government for law enforcement. These are all useful initiatives, but, it is now imperative that the work done so far is taken up to a new level, keeping mind the fact, that in this ight there is also a need to continuously look for new innovative solutions and approach by each Brand owner/ company. Proactive steps Rather than wait and watch and then a reactionary step in ighting the menace, the associations ought to educate their members
www.homai.org

that Prevention is better than Cure, and they could consider taking the undernoted proactive steps to help their members protect themselves against the onslaught of counterfeiting. 1. Educating members about menace Association website can play vital role in educating its members through their website. For example, National Electrical manufacturers Association (NEMA) , USA has taken the menace very seriously and considered anti-counterfeiting as a matter of public policy and classiied an special section on anti-counterfeiting at their website. http://www.nema.org/ Policy/Anti-Counterfeiting/Pages/ default.aspx. Through this NEMA have started various services for its members such as anticounterfeiting news, assistance to members, useful links etc. In India, FICCI, which is one of biggest industry associations, is working on same line and has recently formed a forum called Committee Against Smuggling and Counterfeiting Activities Destroying Economy (CASCADE) with an aim to generate awareness on the impact of these menace amongst consumers and citizens. The forum has launched a website www.icci-cascade.com (see igure1) which clariies various issues on counterfeiting. The website educates its member and consumer via industry news, awareness brochure, and discussion forum. The

Efforts to counter this menace needs highest priority and calls for robust actions from all stakeholders

website also updates latest and articles and best practices adopted by companies around the world against counterfeiting. According to Anil Rajput, Chairman FICCI CASCADE, Counterfeiting and Smuggling are increasingly becoming a hugely lucrative business causing not only a great loss of revenue to the industry but also posing a serious threat to the security of the nation. As a result huge amount of investments goes in dealing with anti- social elements that is neither good for legitimate industry, for government nor for consumers. Efforts to counter this menace needs highest priority and calls for robust actions from all stakeholders. 2. Educating consumers While educating the member companies lies under the responsibility of trade association, mass consumers can be educated in similar with the help of consumers organisation / associations.

3. Assistance to members in adopting authentication technologies Today, there are over 100 product security technologies (holograms, digital watermarks, DNA taggants, security inks, serialisation etc.) used by manufacturer to combat counterfeiting. Such solutions can be applied on the primary or secondary packaging. For an individual manufacturing company, it is challenging to understand the scope and eficacy of each of these technologies. The technology has to be understood, the right features have to be identiied, the cost of adopting the solution has to be looked as also the logistics affecting the deployment of the solution all across the markets that the brand is present in. Trade association can provide guidelines to their members in order to reduce this burden. For example, Association such as Organisation of Pharmaceutical Producers of India (OPPI) have prepared and uploaded anti-counterfeiting

Trade Association can provide and update best practices amongst each other

guidelines for their members in order to help their members in establishing requirements that facilitate authentication and discourage counterfeiting (www. indiaoppi.com/publication.asp). Similar guidelines are also being provided by National Electrical manufacturers Association (NEMA), in USA (www.nema. org/Policy/Anti-Counterfeiting/ Pages/default.aspx) see igure2. 4. Sharing of best practices against counterfeiting Trade Association can provide and update best practices amongst each other as it is easier for them to collect information in comparison with member individual member companies. 5. Encourage member to consider brand protection as CSR They can ask each member to report to them and/ or in their annual reports to share holder, actions taken by them to mitigate

risk to their brand that will also protect their consumers. This will be a good corporate governance practice and an excellent CSR. Such reports will strengthen Trade Associations case for stricter law enforcement, as Trade Association can now irst show what their members have done and what they expect in turn from the law enforcement agencies. The excellent example set by GlaxoSmithKline can be seen at www.gsk.com/responsibility/. 6. Seminar / Exhibitions The Trade association can arrange seminars on counterfeiting and corporate responsibility. The target audience for this seminar should be CEOs, Heads of the companies and Brand Managers. Alongwith the conference there can be an exhibition of anticounterfeiting/anti-piracy technologies. Trade associations can take help of authentication technologies association in this regard.

7. ISO Standards The International Standards Organisation has recently introduced a new standard, ISO 12931 titled Performance criteria for authentication solutions used to combat counterfeiting of material goods. This standard sets out the overall strategya brand owner should adopt to ight the menace of counterfeiting. These days ISO 9001 and ISO 14000 implementation are widely adopted. Associations of Industries that are prone to counterfeiting should take a lead in helping their members understand this standard and also implement this for the overall beneit of the industry. As a further initiative, the industry associations should also build an environment that respects intellectual property. Members

should be encouraged to Patent their innovations so that they are able to reap the beneits of their research and development. In conclusions, it would be apt to say that an industry association is formed to serve the cause of its members at large and one of the greatest threats today to any successful products is the counterfeits and lookalike products. An industry association should look within and decide whether it is doing all that it can to protect its members. In case any industry association feels that it needs some additional information and advice, the Hologram Manufacturers Association of India will be more than happy to help in their endeavours to ight counterfeiting.

ighting counterfeiting
Established in 1926, National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA), headquarter in Arlington, Virginia is world leading association of electrical equipment manufacturers. Representing more than 450 members the worldwide annual sales of NEMA-scope products exceed USD 120 billion. Its mission is As the voice for the electrical and medical imaging industries, NEMA is a pacesetting champion for safety, innovation, interoperability, environment, and market enhancement through advocacy, business information, and standards for products, systems, and technologies.

IN 2002, Several NEMA member companies began to recognize the growing presence of counterfeitelectrical products in markets around the world. These counterfeit products bear the unauthorizedtrademark of a genuine electrical manufacturer and the unauthorized mark of a certiication or testorganization. Some of them incorporate unauthorized, patented technology of NEMA members. NEMAs anti-counterfeiting program helps its member companies understand and exercisetheir intellectual property rights. Because counterfeiting is a global problem that affects certiicationmarks as well as manufacturer brand names and trademarks, NEMA includes in its programsuch certiication organizations as Underwriters Laboratories and the Canadian StandardsAssociation. NEMA secured the participation of Canadian and Mexican tradeorganizations representing electrical manufacturers and carries on a dialogue with European counterparts as well. The NEMA Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition program has three main components:

Education and training: This involves developing best practices to assist members in protectingtheir intellectual property and enforcing their legal rights, including working with customs and otherlaw enforcement authorities. It also requires networking with manufacturers and other trade groupsmutually interested in the counterfeiting problem. Documenting and publicizing the problem: NEMA prepares reports and press releases for distribution toinform the public about counterfeit electrical products. Public policy advocacy: Counterfeiting is an internationally recognized crime. It has been documented that counterfeitelectrical products present substantial health and safety concerns. NEMA is an advocate for greater publicresources devoted to combatting this crime, keeping counterfeit goods out of the marketplace, improving coordinationamong state and national governments, and strengthening law enforcement programs.
