Abstract (en)

[origin: US6409218B1] Visually observable and visually non-observable theft protection markings are used for marking equipment, the non-observable marking being made, for example, by UV paints which can only be observed under UV light. For this purpose, a label portraying a company logo is applied to an article which is to be marked. The label has openings such that the UV paint reproduces the logo on the surface of the article in an unobservable manner when the outer and inner edges of the label are painted over with the UV paint. The logo remains as a non-marked surface portion in the invisible UV film after the label is removed. The invention is suited for protectively marking equipment against theft.
