Abstract
PROTECTION SYSTEM FOR DOCUMENTS of the Invention A system to protect documents such as negotiable instruments, title instruments and identification documents. from illegal copying by color copiers and alteration such as amount or signature particularly computer printout documents comprising preprinting a "VOID" pattern over the amount and/or signature area of the document in solvent insoluble or color change ink. The VOID is printed with a camouflage pattern overcoating. The camouflage pattern overcoating may be a pattern or solid coating. It may be a coating on the undersurface of the Mylar* film overlay of the "VOID. Thereafter the disclosure contemplates adhering the Mylar*film to the document to be protected over the amount and/or signature area with cold pressure. Color copying by machine is prevented by the use of colors in the inks which are below the critical density of the copier, so as to verify the authenticity of a document and prevent fraudulent use of a copy. *Trademark

PATENT SPECIFICATION
( 11) 1 599 704 ( 21) Application No 26415/80 ( 62) ( 22) Filed 10 Jan 1978 Divided Out of No 1599701 ( 31) Convention Application No 766590 ( 32) Filed 8 Feb 1977 in ( 33) United States of America (US) ( 44) Complete Specification Published 7 Oct 1981 ( 51) INT CL 3 B 42 D 15/00 ( 52) Index at Acceptance B 6 A C 12 C 21 C 52 TC ( 54) PROTECTED DOCUMENTS ( 71) We, BURROUGHS CORPORATION, a corporation of the State of Michigan, United States of America, of Burroughs Place, Detroit, Michigan 48232, United States of America do hereby declare this invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the follow-
ing statement:-
This invention relates to protected documents.
The prior art has developed according to the references cited in U S Patent
3,802,724 issued April 9, 1974.
Prior art techniques, for the most part, have been based upon the utilization of competing chemical formulations which are or may be employed as either an overlay on the top surface of the document to be protected or as an overprinted area on such documents or in some instances as a chemical wash or bath into which the entire paper stock is immersed and from which the document is thereafter preprinted None of the known techniques has direct application to computerized document protection nor are any of the known prior art systems readily acceptable to document protection of computer printouts as hereinafter described.
Improvements of U S Patent 3,802724 related to a combined document using a document protection system for use with high speed data processing equipment such, for example as high speed printers, which produce visibly legible records from a computer, the document being safeguarded by a pattern of legible warning data camouflaged by a pattern applied to a film covering of the warning data so that if the covering is altered, the warning data will appear.
Since the general quality of printing by such high speed computer printouts is usually fairly poor, it is a relatively easy matter for the document forger or check alterer to raise, change or remove and add the amount and/or signature at will The same is generally true for the average typewritten document, check, etc The printing on these materials is generally so inferior that alteration by hand of the amount or signature is accomplished with ease and efficiency by the individual.
The system contemplated in U S Patent 3,802,724 employs a high tensile strength, transparent material which is pre-cut in the form of a tape which is or may be produced in a relatively large roll The transparent material is required to have a friction coefficient low enough to avoid marking by known means such, for example, as ball point pens, crayons and wax pencils The tape is provided with a lightly colored camouflage pattern on one surface which is overcoated with a highly aggressive, pressure-sensitive adhesive coating The opposite surface of the transparent tape is coated with a curable colorless silicone resin The document to which the pressure sensitized tape is to be applied is or may be provided with a lightly colored, so-called VOID pattern of repeating symbology such, for example as the word "void", "fraud", "cancelled" or some similar designation.
Thereafter the tape with the camouflage protective coating is adhesively secured over the area containing the void pattern, thus masking the "void" pattern from the eye while permitting any more darkly colored, printed indicia such, for example, as the number amount in the case of a check or the signature of the payer of the document to be visibly discernable through the tape The document thus protected cannot be written upon in a protected area with the generally available writing instruments due to the slipperiness of the exposed surface.
Attempts at complete or partial removal of the applied tape result in damage to the tn ( 19) 1 599 704 document, e g tearing, mutilation, holes in the protected area, etc.
Since the advent of quality color xerographic copiers, such as the Xerox 6500 color copier, copies of documents have posed an ever increasing problem.
The very effective system disclosed in U.S Patent 3,802,724 can be thwarted by making a color copy of the original and then altering the amount.
In addition, because the systems of color copying are so effective, criminals having access to them may effectively duplicate negotiable bonds, vehicle registrations and title to match them to the stolen vehicle, personal identification documents, and other documents As the copier systems proliferate, so does their usage and the opportunity to make nefarious copies.
It is the principal object of this invention to thwart nefarious copies of documents.
From one aspect the invention consists in a document for deterring nefarious colour reproduction thereof on a xerographic colour copier the reproduction threshold density levels for which are: Magenta 0-12 0 01; Cyan 0 08 0 01 and Yellow 0 05 0 01, said document comprising:
a substrate, a background camouflage printed on the entire area of said substrate of a first colour density and a warning mark also printed on said substrate of a second colour density, the first and second densities being such that they are individually not reproduced by said colour copier, wherein in the area of said warning mark the colour density is cumulative of said first and second densities and is such that the warning mark is reproduced by the colour copier, although it is substantially indistinguishable from the background camouflage when viewed by the human eye.
From another aspect the invention consists in a document having in at least one region thereof a background camouflage and a warning mark superimposed one on the other, wherein said camouflage and said mark are printed with such colour densities that, when the document is viewed by the human eye, the mark is substantially indistinguishable from the camouflage, but that, when a copy of said document has been made on a xerographic colour copier the reproduction threshold density levels for which are Magenta 0-12 0-01; Cyan 0 08 0 01 and Yellow 0 05 0 01 and said copy is viewed by the human eye, said mark on the copy is distinguishable from the camouflage on the copy.
Methods of performing the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:Figure 1 is a greatly enlarged sectional view in side elevation of a document in the form of a conventional check; Figure 2 is a view of the portion of a camouflage pattern for use with the present invention; Figure 3 is an isometric view of the tape protecting layered adhesive assembly in conjunction with a document to be protected; Figure 4 is a top plan of a conventional check illustrating the "VOID" pattern arranged over the amount area of the check; and Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 illustrating the check protection tape applied over the amount area illustrating the complete camouflage of the "VOID" pattern while permitting the amount to be visible through the tape; Figure 6 is a representation of a preferred embodiment showing how a particular document appears after copying; and Figure 7 is a representation of an alternative embodiment again together with a representation of a copy thereof.
As is the case of the earlier patented disclosure, this invention is concerned with protection of negotiable instruments from the hazards of alteration by chemicals, mechanical cutting, pen and ink addition to amounts, and general erasure, obliteration, scuffing and other similar means of altering or changing numbers which have intrigued and frustrated engineers and laymen alike since the inception of the use of such instruments Up until the present time the skillful forger or document alterer armed with a scant few chemicals and a reasonable amount of finger dexterity could alter, change, rearrange, or otherwise make over a negotiable document into an instrument whose amount and/or signature had been changed and thereafter pass such document into the commercial money or banking stream almost at will.
Detection of such alteration varies from impossible to ridiculously easy depending upon the skill of the forger Protection against the known schemes has run the gamut from chemically compounding various papers on which the documents are to be preprinted to using special pens and inks, mechanical checkwriters, special presses, intricate, large type styles, involved chemical overlays which were applied to the document both before and after printing, and certain types of processes more or less related to the decalcomania art The present invention in effect avoids the pitfalls of the prior art while providing an extremely high degree of protection against alterations and particularly against reproductions and alterations using color copiers.
Referring to the drawings and first to Figure 1, there is shown a portion of a piece of document material, e g check paper, 1 599 704 disproportionately enlarged so as to more clearly make discernible the various elements of the combination The check paper which may vary in thickness from 0035 to 007 inch may have printed on the facing surface 12 thereof a printed pattern 14, e g.
the word "VOID" repeated in multiple lines and this word or any similar mark may comprise the warning to at least the cognascenti that its appearance indicates alteration or forgery A solvent insoluble substrate such, for example, as a polyester film base 16 on the order of 001 inch in thickness is preferably provided on one surface 18 thereof with a curable silicone resin plus catalyst coating 20 of 0005 to 00005 inch thickness.
The opposite surface 22 of the polyester substrate 16 is provided with a printed, camouflage pattern 24 which pattern is printed directly on the film base; and, as will be seen later on herein, cooperates with the "VOID" pattern printed on the check in the same color to completely hide or mask the void pattern Over the surface of the printed camouflage pattern 24 there is applied a coating 26 of a high peel strength, aggressive, solvent and heat resistant, pressure sensitive, adhesive which is approximately 0008 to 0015 inch in thickness The ink used to apply the VOID pattern is solvent insoluble; thus if the adhesive is dissolved away by a solvent, the pattern of the "VOID" becomes clearly visibly evident and immediately indicates the fraudulent alteration of the document The camouflage will have a color density which is below the color reproductive threshold of the color copier.
As can be seen from Figure 1, the polyester substrate with its multiple layers of material is disposed with the adhesive coating adjacent the "VOID pattern on the check paper.
Figure 2 is illustratively of one type of camouflage pattern 24 which may be used with the "VOID" pattern 14 However, it is readily apparent that other patterns may be used provided the end result is that the "VOID" pattern printed on the check paper is masked thereby so that the pattern is invisible to the unaided eye.
This camouflage may be mask marks in registry for the warning marks or a cover for the warning mark yet it will be of a density such that it is not a reproducible density so that it will not be copied when an attempt is made with a color copier.
Figure 3 illustrates the manner in which the present invention can be employed to protect the amount area of a document, for example, a negotiable instrument such as a check The layered structure as described in connection with Figure 1 is produced in the form of a continuous tape or band 28 which may be loaded into a supply reel and thereafter fed from the supply reel to the printing area of the high speed printer permitting a portion of the tape to be applied under cold pressure as by a roller and a back-up anvil over the amount which has been printed in the amount area over the void pattern which is preprinted on the check structure.
An example of a check structure 10 bearing a preprinted "VOID" pattern 14 is shown in Figure 4 This pattern could also be employed in the signature area 30 and the layered tape construction used in similar fashion to its use in the amount area.
Figure 5 illustrates an example of the finally protected document, in this case a check 10, as it might appear with the protecting tape 28 adhered over the amount awaiting the signature of the payor with the "VOID" pattern camouflaged but with the amount clearly distinguishable therethrough.
The principal protection system of our invention employs a masked warning mark or phrase which when copied appears on the copy due to its effective color density being above the color reproductive threshold density of the copier The mask is of a color density which is below the color reproductive density of the copier Any overlay of the mask and the warning phrase has a color density exceeding the color reproductive threshold density The color can be formulated from standard press inks.
The threshold density level for these colored inks is: Magenta 12 01; Cyan 08 01 and Yellow 05 0 01, as read by a Macbeth densitometer RD 517 Formulations below these densities will not effectively reproduce on commercial xerographic color copiers such as the L-6500 even with pictorial screens such as 8 R 537 (Xerox).
Densities above any of these levels will reproduce.
Thus in accordance with our preferred embodiment, as seen in Figure 6, a warning mark "VOID" is laid down or printed at a density level below the aforementioned thresholds This warning is overlaid with our mask which will be at a density below the aforementioned reproductive threshold densities The composite density at those places where the warning mark is placed is in accordance with our invention above at least one of the aforementioned threshold levels.
Now it should be understood that this invention and its preferred embodiments are difficult to represent within the constraints of the Patent Office's pen and ink drawing requirements.
As illustrated in Figure 6, the original document 601 has, at least a portion thereof (such as the amount or signature portion), the warning mark ("VOID" 602) printed in 1 599 704 red This is completely covered with a red camouflage 603 of a density below the aforesaid threshold density.
It will be understood that, as may be appreciated from seeing the drawings that the "VOID" mark is camouflaged before being copied After it is copied, as shown in the Figure 6 on the L-6500 color copier, 604, the "VOID" mark will be reproduced because the composite density is higher at the point where the warning mark 602 appears.
While, due to the stylized representation in Figure 6 a solid mark is contemplated, alternate marks can be made.
Representative of these alternate embodiments is Figure 7 In Figure 7 the document 701 has the warning mark 702 and camouflage 703 printed thereon In this embodiment circles (which could be dots, squares or lines) comprise the warning mark 702 and camouflage The surrounding camouflage is below the color reproduction threshold density while the warning mark when overprinted with the registered camouflage, is of a density in excess of at least one of the threshold density limits.
In the preferred embodiment the "VOID" 602 will be printed with a color change ink solution A sympathetic ink which turns or gains color and reproductive intensity when exposed to an eradicator is used in the marking mark In the preferred embodiment, this ink is colorless and may be mixed with the other colored dies or pigments which form the color of the mark and also the mask Examples of sympathetic inks are "Chlorostain" or liquid (Du Pont), "Chlorostain" N (Du Pont), "Chlorostain" WH liquid (Du Pont), Oxochekh (HiltonDavis).
If it is determined that the "VOID" pattern exists and an attempt is made to eradicate the pattern mark, as from the back of the check in Figure 1-5, with for instance hypochloride bleach, the ink will darken indicating a forging attempt.
This color pattern will remain and be even more readily reproducible as being above the threshold level of the copies.
Fluorescent inks and other inks used in conjunction with the threshold level will raise the security of the system by a cumulative nature.
In summary we have described a document and a method of producing it which deters or prevents counterfeiting utilizing the Xerox L-6500 Color Copier or similar machines which possess different color sensitivity than the human eye Pastels printed below a specified critical level (see above limits) will fail to appear in the copy, while those above the critical density will appear in the copy.
As a result of the described method of manufacture of the document the background overprint or pattern will drop out while the marking phrase or warning mark will be copied.
It should be understood that the above description is made by way of example and that various modifications and rearrangements will occur to those skilled in the art, both now and in the future, without departing from the scope of the claims.
Features of the invention hereinbefore described are claimed in Patent Specification No 1599701 (Application No 835/78) from which the present Specification is divided, and also in Patent Specification No.
1599703 (Application No 80-19965) also divided from the said Patent Specification.
