Patent number: 11766885Abstract: A security document has a carrier element which has a surface with a principal plane and a personalization region. A personalization layer is applied to the surface, such that the surface of the carrier element in the personalization region is configured with a plurality of structure elements uniformly aligned with each other and raised with respect to the principal plane. The structure elements of the plurality of structure elements are configured immediately adjacent to each other and the structure elements are configured with a center distance between vertical axes of the respective structure elements of less than 250 ?m.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: VERIDOS GMBHInventors: Josef Riedl, Gunter Endres, Klaus Kohl

Publication number: 20220134792Abstract: An identification document (1) with a personalization region (3) for receiving biometric image information (5) is proposed. The personalization region (3) comprises a recording layer (11) for image information as well as a lens arrangement (20). Viewing the biometric image information (5) is effected through the lens arrangement (20). The biometric image information (5) holds basic information (12) consisting of a base image (15) and a derivative image (16) derived from the base image (15). The derivative image (16) shows or emphasizes a constituent of the base image (15) that is essential for recognition. At a first viewing angle (?1) the base image (15) is dominantly recognizable, at a second viewing angle (?1) the derivative image (16), so that in the perception of the image information combined from base image (15) and derivative image (16) a plastic overall impression arises.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2020Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Klaus Kohl, Günter Endres

Patent number: 10926573Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for supplying an optical security element in a value document, as well as to an accordingly devised apparatus for adjusting an optical security element as well as to the value document per se. According to the invention a method is proposed which makes it possible to supply a known optical security element in an especially simple technical way, without a vapor deposition of embossed structures being necessary in this connection. Further the present invention is directed to a computer program product having control commands, which executes the method or operates the proposed apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT MOBILE SECURITY GMBHInventors: Günter Endres, Klaus Kohl, Martin Imhof

Patent number: 10336123Abstract: An easily manufacturable multilayer security element has an opaque functional layer that is arranged between two build-up layers of transmissive material. The opaque functional layer has at least one cutout. The layers are connected by lamination to form an areal body with planar surfaces. The cutout is filled up with transmissive material of the build-up layers. One build-up layer supports a feature carrier layer. A security feature, which is arranged at least partially below the cutout, is formed in the feature carrier layer and/or between the functional layer and the feature carrier layer. The cutout forms an inner window through which the security feature is recognizable.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: GIESECKE+DEVRIENT MOBILE SECURITY GMBHInventors: Günter Endres, Klaus Kohl, Tobias Rosati

Patent number: 8708222Abstract: A method for producing a finishing layer containing a window (104) for a portable data storage medium, in particular a chip card, and the use of the method for producing a data storage medium. A transparent plastic-based support layer (28) is used and an opaque color layer (30) is applied on the support layer in a screen printing process, wherein the color layer (30) has a recess (32) having the dimensions of the window (104). A first layer (40) of a transparent primer is then screen printed onto the color layer and a design color layer (50) is then applied in an offset printing process onto the first layer. A second layer (60) of a transparent primer is applied in an offset printing process on top of the design color layer (50) and a transparent finish (70) is finally applied onto the second layer (60).Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: Giesecke & Devirent GmbHInventors: Peter Huber, Klaus Kohl, Fabik Roman, Christina Schellenberger, Manuela Schropf
