HP patents fake label-spotting technology. With too many products in market it’s hard to identify if it is real or not. One of the best methods to identify if the product is genuine or fake is to check out the label or picture on product. However, nowadays product labels or pictures can also be fake. So, it’s almost hard to find out the genuine products out there.
Finally someone took this matter seriously and invent the way to find the genuine label or pictures on the products. Yes, HP has discovered the method to locate the genuine products’ label in the market.
In this regard, Hewlett Packard (HP) has been awarded a US patent on a technique that can recognize if a picture or label on a product is genuine or fake.
