  • Patent number: 8877282
    Abstract: The apparatus and method or process of the present invention includes ID or fingerprinting kits to help brand a company's logo into a fingerprint. For many decades, companies have looked for unique ways to introduce their brand or logo into the marketplace. Companies have also helped law enforcement protect children by providing ID kits for distribution in communities. This apparatus and method or process looks to bring these two areas together by branding the company's logo into a fingerprint. The ID or fingerprint card must have a clear chemical coating then the non-visible brand or logo must also be printed on the card. This brand or logo may or may not include color. By applying a fingerprint activation solution to the chemically treated ID card, a fingerprint and logo or image will appear in the fingerprint.
