The first generation of "microdots" were originally developed and used during World War II as an espionage tool for relaying highly classified information. The major hurdle to commercialization was to create a high volume process enabling hundreds or thousands of "microdots" to be produced with a single identification number. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, MicroDot U.S. makes MicroDots available to everyone: home owners, asset-control managers, and others who can benefit from a proven sytem that protects valued assets from loss or theft.
MicroDot U.S. is a manufacturer and distributor of MicroDots - a covert anti-theft and asset identification technology. Initial markets to adopt MicroDot technology included the casino gaming industry and European luxury automobile manufacturers.
MicroDots are one millimeter identification tags made from a high-tech polymer substrate. Every MicroDot manufactured is laser etched with unique information that covertly links assets or parts of an asset to its rightful owner.
Standard application kits contain 600, 1000, or 5000 individual MicroDots. Every MicroDot within an application kit is encoded with an identical thirteen digit personal identification number (PIN).
Each PIN, which can be customized, is comprised of letters and numbers, a combination that ensures each application kit is unique to the specific owner. MicroDot personal identification numbers are never reproduced, unless authorized by the owner of the MicroDots.
The MicroDot U.S. website address is included on every MicroDot manufactured, effectively directing law enforcement and authorized agencies to the MicroDot U.S. national database, enabling property to be identified and returned to registered owners.
Serving as after-market serial numbers for assets, MicroDots provide individuals the unique ability to mark property, deter theft, and increase their chances of having lost or stolen property returned.
Application
MicroDots can be applied to most assets and are brushed on with a clear drying water-based adhesive. When applied properly, MicroDots are virtually invisible to the naked eye and won't harm the assets they protect.
The MicroDot application adhesive flouresces under an ultra-violet light source allowing law enforcement agents to detect MicroDots on stolen or lost property.
Registration
Registration of MicroDot personal identification numbers within a secure MicroDot U.S. national database is a critical component of the MicroDot U.S. asset marking and anti-theft system.
Registration establishes a link between owners and their marked assets and allows law enforcement to identify lost or stolen items marked with MicroDots and return them to their rightful owners.
Applied MicroDots combined with MicroDot U.S. registration establishes proof of ownership and provides protection of assets.

Theft Deterence
MicroDot U.S. provides warning decals with each application kit to warn would-be thieves that assets or parts of assets are traceable by law enforcement.
Applied MicroDots are extremely difficult to see or remove. Assets marked with hundreds or thousands of traceable MicroDots effectively reduces their theft-appeal.
Marking assets with massive amounts of MicroDots forces thieves to spend critical time with stolen items in their pocession. A determined thief can never be sure they have removed every MicroDot that links them to the stolen property and to the crime.
