There are specific programmes to provide commercial, law enforcement, and DoD counterfeit risk mitigation. Applied DNA has definitive agreements with leading manufacturers for products sold at retail in Bed Bath & Beyond, Costco, Amazon, and other retail stores and online commerce sites.
Since 2011, the company’s technology has been protecting microcircuits for DoD with nearly a million parts tagged. Development contracts since 2014 have engaged Defence Logistics Agency (DLA), the Army, USDA, Missile Defence Agency, and other trade and intelligence agencies to protect critical industrial components such as bearings, lubricants, gaskets, electronics equipment, and packaging. Currently running is an anti-counterfeiting technology-expanding competitive-bid development contract awarded in June 2017, funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defence on behalf of DLA, with collaboration from the army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Chemical Biological Centre.
In European courtrooms, the company’s award-winning technology has been used as evidence and its forensics scientists have testified as expert witness in support of cases which have resulted in convictions of 138 offenders for a total of 670 sentence-years in crimes related to ATM cash thefts, automobile-parts theft and resale online as new, and law enforcement stings including drug enforcement.
Applied DNA’s approach to authenticate and protect global supply chains is based on the company’s patented CertainT platform of tag, test, and track, which provides benefits in anti-counterfeiting, diversion, IP protection, and claims substantiation such as country of origin and sustainability.
