Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to a method and computing device for determining whether a mark is genuine. According to various embodiments, a computing device (or logic circuitry thereof) uses unintentionally-produced artifacts within a genuine mark to define an identifiable electronic signature, and extracts certain location identifiers corresponding to certain measured features of the signature in order to enhance the ease and speed with which numerous genuine signatures can be searched and compared with signatures of candidate marks.
