Main activities:

• Anti-counterfeiting technologies for the book industry (study books, fiction and others)

The situation in the book industry is not easy; there has been a sharp decline of financial and economic indicators in publishers and typographers. The same situation is observed in the book trade (retail and wholesale). It is largely due to the development of information technologies and change of standards in education.  A wave of piracy covers a market and there is a lack of legislative and practical measures to deal with this problem.

• E-books

The development of information technology and the Internet has facilitated the print publications to be displaced by e-books. The Internet has been taken over by pirated copies of e-books and no one fights against it. Here we step into the fight against e-book piracy.
