The cornerstone of our Illuminate Platform, the Digimarc Digital Watermark is an identification technology unique to Digimarc that provides an unparalleled level of covertness, ubiquity, redundancy, and security.

There are many important uses for the platform we have built. Our current SaaS products address critically important, world-wide problems that are vastly improved by our high-barrier-to-entry, unique offerings that: protect currency and consumer goods from counterfeits, reduce food waste, improve food and drug safety, provide a direct-to-consumer digital communication channel, improve the efficiency of physical retail shopping, and increase the quality and quantity of plastic recycling by revolutionizing today’s ineffective waste sortation.  

As we continue to expand an inflecting -- and ultimately massive -- market opportunity that we are uniquely positioned to lead, we will productize additional use cases that work together with existing use cases to provide accretive value to our customers and allow them to complete their digital transformation journeys.  Because with Digimarc, you can finally see everything. And when you see everything, you can achieve anything.
