Sikorsky Patents New Anti-Counterfeiting Technology for Aircraft Parts
The new patent is one of the first that is intended to prevent duplication of parts in the first place.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently awarded Sikorsky Aircraft a patent (No. US10286719B2) for new anti-counterfeiting technology. The newly patented technology both prevents some counterfeiting and allows identification of counterfeit parts. Sikorsky originally filed for the patent on November 4, 2015.
