The company EnXnet has announced that it will
file for patent protection of their latest product DSTag. DSTag is used to
protect CD and DVD discs against theft and the system is embedded within the
disc. According to the company DSTag will also be a security and
anti-counterfeiting aid to the disc manufacturing and distribution industry.
 "It is a real milestone to introduce DSTag, a product
that not only provides theft deterrent at the retail level, but also
provides a unique item identification which can be used to reduce theft of
optical discs during all phases of distribution. And of increasing
significance, DSTag can be used to identify counterfeit products and
counterfeiting by unauthorized manufacturers," said Mark Pempsell,
National Sales Director.
According to Mr. Pempsell, the
development of DSTag was driven by manufacturers looking to enhance the
integrity of their product while offering an added value to their
customers and by retailers that are desperate to stop the enormous losses
due to theft. As a result, retail industry is applying increased pressure
on manufacturers to supply them with product that is EAS tagged at the
point of packaging, otherwise known as "Source Tagging." EnXnet took this
one significant step further by integrating DSTag into the manufacturing
process and imbedding it within the CD and DVD unit.
