Issuer’s information/explanatory remarks concerning this ad hoc announcement:
With the joint commercialisation of identif’s authentication technologies the
cooperation between november AG (ISIN DE0006762909), its product and brand
protection subsidiary identif GmbH and the second largest US-chemical supplier
DuPont, existing since May 2004, has now reached a new peak level. DuPont
Packaging & Industrial Polymers is a globally leading solution supplier for
the packaging industry. From this position DuPont will market in the future
within the framework of the license and supply agreement the covert and overt
security technologies of november’s subsidiary for at least five years. In
this context DuPont additionally acquires a 10% interest AG in identif GmbH
from november. Under the supply agreement identif GmbH delivers eye- and
machine readable “signatures”. The technologies developed by identif GmbH
contain human- and machine-detectable “signatures” that can be incorporated
into forgery-proof packaging or labeling for products such as pharmaceuticals,
luxury goods, arts and media products, branded apparel, automotive parts and
similar goods. Anti-counterfeit experts note that combining user-observable as
well as machine-readable, overt and covert product authentication
technologies increase assurance of product safety, performance and exclusivity
of brand experience.
To fend off potential counterfeiters in the long run, identif GmbH is
developing continuously new marking technologies based on bio- or
nanotechnological methods and materials. Due to DuPont’s worldwide
distribution network in the field of brand packaging, manufacturers of branded
goods and traders can reliably be protected by means of individual solutions.
