NanoInk, Inc. is an emerging growth technology company specializing
in nanometer-scale manufacturing and applications development for
the life science and semiconductor industries. With DPN® a patented
and proprietary nanofabrication technology that allows for unmatched
flexibility, accuracy and also its high-resolution Nanoencryption™
technology, NanoInk® is able to offer its pharmaceutical customers
innovative solutions to fight counterfeiting and illegal diversion of blockbuster pharmaceutical products.

NanoInk deploys its highly patented Nanoencryption™ technology to encrypt deeply covert marks onto each product that can be authenticated with a patented technique. This encryption is done at the nano scale, which is sub micron and lower than the wave length of light. The encryptions hold batch level information such as production date, location, and ship to information. While overt techniques exist, and provide the advantage of easy field identification, overt technologies alone can’t protect a brand. If counterfeiters can see a label, they will defeat it. Nanoencryption incorporates semi-overt, covert, and nanoscale forensic features at the unit does level which can also be linked to the package level for a multi-layered protective shield. NanoInk currently has 2 top ten pharmaceutical customers with $12 billion worth of blockbuster drugs protected. In addition to the pharmaceutical industry, NanoInk is also pursuing luxury goods, ID cards, electronic parts, medical devices, and automotive industries.
