SALT LAKE CITY, March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Sports fans received good news on Monday, when the NFL announced the recovery of Tom Brady's game jersey worn in Super Bowl LI. Also retrieved in the investigation, was Brady's jersey from his Super Bowl XLIX victory.
Worth hundreds of thousands of dollars each, the NFL and FBI are working together to ensure the jerseys are authentic, before returning them to Brady and the Patriots.
Appiphany Technologies (APHD), offers state-of-the-art solutions to forensically tag sport jerseys and other such items, enabling rapid authentication.
For more than a decade, professional and junior teams, including the Canadian Olympic Men's and Women's Two time Olympic Gold Medal winners and teams, have relied on Appiphany's IP protection technologies to battle counterfeiting, pirating, and theft. The Game Worn Jerseys are often auctioned with proceeds going to charities.
Sports clothing is an estimated $14.1 billion market in the US, and officially-licensed clothing is often priced between $100 and $300 per item. High prices attract an active counterfeiting and pirating market, with similar unlicensed apparel selling for as little as $20.
Rob Sargent, CEO of Appiphany, stated, "Brady's high-profile case is just the latest reminder for brands to take IP protection seriously. Through IP Risk Control, we have an established track record of helping teams and major brands protect their assets amidst the onslaught of counterfeiting and pirating, that is plaguing global markets."
