In response to the chaos of anti-counterfeiting labels, many relevant people have suggested that anti-counterfeiting certification requires an authoritative organization and that the anti-counterfeiting industry must strictly implement an access system.

A person in charge of an anti-counterfeiting company who did not want to be named said that the QR code itself has no anti-counterfeiting effect. It is just a symbol for recording information and is used to record the link address. "The problem is that many anti-counterfeiting companies and salespeople induce the public, saying that this thing has anti-counterfeiting effects."

Liu Meimei suggested that manufacturers should continue to track and study the counterfeiting methods of counterfeit products and continuously improve according to new situations that arise. Anti-counterfeiting technology raises the technical “threshold” and increases the difficulty and cost of counterfeiting. At the same time, law enforcement departments should increase targeted efforts to crack down on counterfeiters based on clues provided by manufacturers or reported by the public.
