Patent ID: 8323780

Claim:
An object, comprising: an identifying indicia disposed on the object, the identifying indicia including an ink, having pigments therein, that is opaque when exposed to light both inside and outside a predetermined wavelength range; an ink layer established on at least one portion of the identifying indicia and obscuring the at least one portion of the identifying indicia when exposed to light within the predetermined wavelength range; wherein the ink layer includes: a first section including a first section ink that obscures the at least one portion of the identifying indicia when exposed to the light within the predetermined wavelength range, but is substantially transparent and thus reveals the at least one portion of the identifying indicia when exposed to light outside the predetermined wavelength range; and a second section including a second section ink that is opaque when exposed to the light both within and outside the predetermined wavelength range; wherein the second section ink is coated in relation to the at least one portion of the identifying indicia so that the second section ink is visible and opaque but does not obscure the at least one portion of the identifying indicia when the ink layer is exposed to the light outside the predetermined wavelength range.
