Thank you so much for the advice. I agree with all that you have mentioned.
This is precisely what I've been researching.
It's cosmetic products, btw.
then, the BIG question is . . . . are you the manufacturer or distributor?
assuming if you are the distributor, and you are not the only one . . . then are you licensed to distribute in your localisations?
if yes, then you gotta seek legal compliance with your manufacturer for them to assure you if there are due diligence to cover anti-counterfeiter?
this is why you paid for your license, right?
if no, then why haven't manufacturer take action?
coz counterfeiters only occur when they know their sources and routes bet. GDP.
you will "calculate" its worthiness for such implementations once you know your role i.e. rights & ownership for legal entities.
why?! this is because you are legally protected or assured when counterfeiter can counter-sue you! yes, no kidding.....
of coz, there are products out there with labels. artworks, QR codes etc. assuring consumers as anti-counterfeit system in-place but actually does not work at all
- just gimmicks!
