6. Counterfeiting and Serialization – the implications for biotech businesses
Counterfeit medicines - why should we be worried ?
Patient safety is key to biotechnology businesses
Biotech industry must put in place systems to protect against counterfeiting
This is as important for small biotech companies as it is for big bio
– Anti-counterfeit strategy is becoming increasingly important in the
acquisition process
“Estimated that 15% of medicines sold worldwide are fake, rising to 50% in Africa
and Asia” Source: WHO 2006
“50% of medicine supplied by on-line pharmacies which conceal their physical
address are fake” Source: MHRA
“Pharmacists and wholesalers have identified fake drugs targeting: anti-
cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet, anti-psychotic, erectile dysfunction,
prostrate cancer, appetite suppressants, chronic asthma, alopecia” Source: MHRA

7. Counterfeiting and Serialization – the implications for biotech businesses
Counterfeit medicines – what can we do about it?
Requirements and Complexities
– Understanding what needs to be achieved
– Understand the risk vs. threat
Anti-tamper – Serialization – Authentication
– Understanding the levels of protection provided by each
Technology Considerations
– A systems approach is required
– “A system is only as strong as it’s weakest point”
– A layered approach is required

9. Counterfeiting and Serialization – the implications for biotech businesses
Anti-tamper - Serialization - Authentication
These approaches provide different levels of mitigation and detection of adversary behavior
Anti-tamper and tamper-evident packs
– Detection of insertion of counterfeit product into manufacturers packaging, or
alteration of serialization or authentication features
Serialization
– Detection and prevention of mass duplication of counterfeit product and insertion
into the supply chain at Point of Dispense (PoD)
– Supports accurate re-imbursement, recall of product and removal of out-of-date
product
Authentication
– Detection of counterfeit product within the supply chain through authentication of
packaging or the product formulation
– Different features support end-users, supply chain and litigation, as well as
deterrence

10. Counterfeiting and Serialization – the implications for biotech businesses
Anti-tamper - Serialization - Authentication
In practice, the approaches have limitations and assumptions which need to be understood
Anti-tamper
– Predicated on the real pack being difficult to counterfeit, and the users and supply
chain aware of the legitimate pack design and overt authentication features
Serialization
– Predicated on the real product reaching the PoD before the counterfeit, and serial
number generation being truly random
– Serialization does not equal authentication
Authentication
– Authentication is only as good as the reader (!)
– Technology dependent and compromise between uniqueness, reader complexity
and cost

12. Counterfeiting and Serialization – the implications for biotech businesses
Summary
1. Brand owner carries the risk of poor system performance, not the system or
technology provider
– Responsibility resides with you
2. Assess your balance of risk versus threat for your products
– Develop a plan and approach to manage this
3. Avoid becoming the target
– Anti-tamper, serialization and overt authentication provide a deterrence
4. Serialization will not prevent counterfeit products being dispensed
– Authentication is required to achieve this
5. Serialization does substantially reduce the likelihood that this will occur
– Provided it is implemented well
