Anti-counterfeiting and the diversion of products to the gray and black markets is ultimately a track and trace problem.

United States consumers purchase an estimated $100 billion dollars’ worth of counterfeit goods annually, and global counterfeit goods purchases are estimated at half a trillion dollars annually.

Counterfeit products are just not a consumer problem. Illegitimate electronics and other components are going into manufactured goods, putting device reliability, and sometimes life and human welfare, at risk.
