Funny btw to see Amazon and banknotes s explicitly mentioned...

And a nice quote from the interview:

DDD: When will your technology be available?

Bob Miglani: Our technology is available now. We are in the process of working with a number of partners that we believe will help us advance it to the next level and we believe that will happen over the next few months.

DDD: Do you have competition at the moment?

Bob Miglani: There are a few companies that do something similar but I think we’re unique. One, we’re a public company so everything we do is public, good or bad; it’s all out there. We share everything with the trade and our investors. Two, no one has done it on the massive scale on which we’ve been able to do it. For instance, 160 million pounds in Molecular Tagged cotton goes onto bed sheets that are being sold at Costco and Bed Bath & Beyond. So you are able to buy a bed sheet that’s labeled PimaCott—that’s a brand of cotton that’s embedded with our technology.

Three, our work with the U.S. military has been validated over and over again. Some years ago, the military had given us what’s called a red team challenge. They tried to hack our code, break it, and destroy it to see if it works in different applications, from testing resiliency of our tags that might go into space to hot and cold temperatures. We passed that red team challenge and so we were granted our first military contract. And others followed. Finally, we have a very prominent advisory board. Ray Kelly, who is the former New York City Police Department commissioner; Dr. Mehmood Khan, head of R&D and vice chairman of PepsiCo; Gunther Faber, formerly with GSK; and Bob Catell from the power industry.

Those are just a few big reasons I think we have something to offer that our competitors don’t.
