  • Barcode Copy Protection System
    Publication number: 20130320099
    Abstract: A copy protection system for barcode includes a barcode pattern that is printed together with a security pattern that includes a line screen that intersects elements of the barcode pattern. A difference in print density between the barcode elements and the security pattern is sufficient to allow the barcode pattern to be read by a barcode scanner. However, upon reproduction of the printed barcode pattern and security pattern by a copier, the barcode pattern is not similarly readable on the resulting reproduction.
