  1. Maybe the solution to combat the fake markets is to mass serialise the original goods and empower the customers to check the originality and other product’s characteristics. Serialization is by far the most powerful and cost effective anti-counterfeit solution. Solutions such as the one offered by my-validactor are immediately available, easy to implement and at a cost near to zero.
