EURO ANTICOUNTERFEITING PATENT SUIT

On August 1 Bloomberg news reported that "The European
Central Bank is being sued by a security company claiming
that every euro banknote in circulation infringes its anti-
counterfeiting patent.

Document Security Systems Inc., based in Rochester,
New York, filed the complaint against the bank at the
European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg today,
the company said in a statement. ECB spokeswoman
Regina Schueller declined to comment.

Document Security said it owns the patent on technology
used on euro notes that stops them from being forged
using digital scanners."
