Contact Symbol Investor Relations Careers Home ... Environmental Compliance Mobility Learning Center Home Mobility Learning Center Document Library Print Page ... Webinars RFID Technology and EPC in Retail Executive Summary The ability to access information anytime, anywhere is vital in today's fast-paced world. More than ever, people need mobile information solutions to improve productivity and operate more efficiently. This technical brief discusses the impact of RFID on retailers, future innovations in retailing and recent developments in widespread deployments. Introduction RFID technology is used to tag, identify and track individual items, cases and pallets as they move from the manufacturing floor through the supply chain and into the hands of the buyer or consumer. As the objects move through the supply chain, wireless RFID readers can communicate with an RFID tag on the object, collect information about the object (such as a unique number) and match that number in a database to access a complete record about the object. This real-time technology provides unprecedented speed and accuracy in the supply chain. EPC and RFID Pallet with EPC tag Electronic product code (EPC™) is a new standard that is reviewed in the second section of this brief. EPC is well positioned to become the open standard for RFID technology and a key information tool in the retail supply chain. EPC-RFID has great potential to deliver bottom-line business benefits on a mass scale.

Bookstore Wayne County news E-MAIL THIS STORY PRINTER-FRIENDLY FORMAT Cash, fake goods seized from business July 28, 2005 BY AMBER HUNT MARTIN FREE PRESS STAFF WRITER That Vicks inhaler you bought from the corner drugstore last weekend? It might be a fake. Those Duracell batteries you just put in your smoke detector could be phony, too. So says the Wayne County Sheriff's Office, which alleges it uncovered thousands of dollars worth of counterfeit merchandise from batteries to Oakley sunglasses to baseball caps sporting trademarked team logos during a Wednesday raid of a business in Dearborn Heights. About $15,000 in cash also was seized from Private Collections, a T-shirt printing and hat-embroidering business. Authorities said the business sold the counterfeit products to area stores, which in turn sold them to customers. They said they don't know how many stores in the region were stocked with the sham items. "We definitely feel there's well in excess of $10,000 in products," said Sgt. Larry Crider. A man who Sheriff's Office officials said was in charge of the operation was arrested but wasn't identified. Authorities would only say that he lives in Dearborn Heights and is in his 30s. If charged and convicted, he faces up to five years in prison and possible federal charges, Crider said.

CLC/Bob Lowry (lowrygr@mail.auburn.edu) COUNTERFEITERS BEWARE: ENFORCEMENT TEAM TO PATROL GAME AUBURN Representatives from The Collegiate Licensing Company will be in search of counterfeit merchandise at the Auburn-Alabama football game on Saturday. Both universities receive a percentage on each piece of officially licensed merchandise sold, but the sale of counterfeit merchandise costs Auburn University and the University of Alabama thousands of dollars in lost revenues each year. As the exclusive licensing representative for both universities, CLC is responsible for protecting and enforcing the universities' trademark rights. As one of the most heated rivalries in the nation, the Auburn-Alabama game is a potential target for counterfeiters who want to produce and sell knock-off merchandise. CLC representatives have been present at the annual showdown for the past 10 years, a nd have worked closely with law enforcement officials statewide to combat the counterfeiting problem. This year, CLC will work closely with Auburn law enforcement officials, along with representatives from AU, to patrol the marketplace before, during and after the game. All counterfeit merchandise is subject to seizure, and counterfeiters will be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, says Bruce Siegal, vice president and general counsel for CLC.

Song Star-Bulletin U.S. Customs officials literally steamrolled over thousands of fake designer watches and other items near the International Marketplace in Waikiki today in hopes of discouraging vendors from selling counterfeit merchandise. The 3,000 phony watches, sunglasses and pieces of jewelry were seized from David and Cindy Giang's Kapahulu home in June 1996 following a two-year undercover operation. The items were ordered destroyed by the court. "We would consider them as a significant supplier," U.S. Customs Service Supervisory Special Agent Michael Cox said of the Giangs. After pleading guilty in May to trafficking counterfeit merchandise, David Giang was sentenced to 13 months in federal prison and fined $15,000. Cindy Giang was sentenced to eight months and $10,000. The destroyed fake merchandise included trademarks of Rolex, Boy London, Christian Dior, Chanel, Pierre Nicole, Tag Heuer, Geneva, Dunhill, Guess and even Disney's Mickey Mouse. Officials valued the items at about $200,000 to $250,000 wholesale. Wholesalers bought watches for about $50 each and sold them to individuals for at least double that amount, Cox said.

The counterfeit trademarks were identical with or substantially indistinguishable from genuine trademarks registered to The Gillette Company, Underwriters Laboratories Inc., Marvel Enterprises, Inc., and Nike Inc., including Duracell batteries and flashlights, Spider-Man figures, extension cords and power- strips and Nike slippers. The jury's verdicts were returned following a four day trial during which the United States proved that Zheng, a Harwin Drive importer and wholesaler, trafficked in counterfeit goods imported from China between August 2003 and November 2003.

The detective contacted Louis Vuitton, and was put in touch with Abacus Investigations and Security, an authorized representative of Louis Vuitton and most top designers.
