Please check again" and the displayed authentication time does not match the time the consumer authenticates, the product the consumer is checking is not genuine. - Display product information if the product the consumer is checking is in the IDE protection system. - Display the "THV" (Proud of Vietnamese product brand) sign with the message "Product protected by IDE!" which means that the product the consumer is authenticating is a genuine product because the manufacturer registered to protect the product brand in the "Anti-counterfeiting authentication process".
