Bellevue, Washington Patent of the Year – 2024/2025

Alitheon Inc. has been awarded the 2024/2025 Patent of the Year for depth-based digital fingerprinting of physical goods. Their invention, detailed in U.S. Patent No. 11915503, and titled ‘Depth-based digital fingerprinting’. It turns subtle surface and depth cues into a secure digital ID.

Counterfeit goods and misplaced parts cost industries billions yearly. Alitheon’s system captures both exterior textures and hidden internal structures, letting any camera confirm authenticity in seconds.

Algorithms extract 3D features both on and beneath the surface. They create a fingerprint that stays stable despite angle, scale or lighting shifts.

A later scan compares fingerprints and flags mismatches, proving if the item is genuine or misplaced.

Manufacturers can trace a single gear, medical implant or luxury watch across global supply chains without tags, chips or lasers. Law enforcement gains a quick way to spot stolen goods, and consumers gain confidence that what they buy is authentic.

Alitheon says the software runs on premises or in the cloud. That flexibility suits small shops and large enterprises alike. Field pilots have already cut inspection times by half, pointing to a scalable defense against counterfeit proliferation.
