8. An identification document comprising at least one layer of material, the top surface of the document including a laser-formed void pattern creating an indicia, the document characterized by raised features that are also laser-formed, said raised features comprising foamed material, the raised features extending above a nominal top surface level of the document to provide a tactile effect that aids in verifying the authenticity of the document.

No. 6,752,432); Ser. No. 10/094,593, filed Mar. 6, 2002, Provisional Patent Application No. 60/358,321, filed Feb. 19, 2002, as well as U.S. Pat. No. 6,066,594.
Exemplary prior work illustrating laser engraving/etching of identification documents is shown in UK patent publications GB 2,240,948 and GB 2,132,136, and in PCT publication WO00/43216. The reader is referred to such documents for background.
To make the laser etched security feature 70, the ID document 10 (which can be a “finished” document, e.g., all laminates, processes, etc. already applied to the document) is subjected to an ablative laser, such as a solid state C02 laser, that etches a pattern (e.g., security feature) onto its surface. Of course, other lasers may be suitable employed for such etching. FIG. 4 illustrates the security feature 60 that was laser etched into the surface of identification document 10.
Sensitizing Materials For Laser Engraving (Application No. 60/344,677, filed Dec. 24, 2001); and
Laser Engraving Coating System (Application No. 60/344,675, filed Dec. 24, 2001).
Illustrative examples of ID document materials which can be etched in accordance with at least some embodiments include (but are not limited to) polyester, polycarbonate (PC), fused polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene, thermosets, thermoplastic and thermoplastic resins (including those that foam when heated), engineering thermoplastics (ETP), polyurethane, polyamides, expanded polypropylene (EPP), polypropylene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), ABS/PC and ABS/PC products, high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), PET-G, PET-F, polybutylene terephthalate (PBS), acetal copolymer (POM), and polyetherimide (PEI), polymer, copolymer, polyester, amorphous polyester, polyolefin, silicon-filled polyolefin, TESLIN, foamed polypropylene film, polystyrene, polyacrylate, poly(4-vinylpyridine, poly(vinyl acetate), polyacrylonitrile, polymeric liquid crystal resin, polysulfone, polyether nitride, and polycaprolactone, as well as virtually any known plastic or polymer. Of course, it will be appreciated that embodiments have applicability for the laser engraving and/or marking of plastic materials used to make many different articles formed by virtually any known method, including molding and extruding.
To provide a comprehensive disclosure without unduly lengthening the specification, applicants herein incorporate by reference each of the patent documents referenced previously, along with U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,022,905, 5,298,922, 5,294,774, 4,652,722, 5,824,715 and 5,633,119, and U.S. Ser No. 09/969,200 (now U.S. Pat. No. 6,827,277).
