Beaulieu International Group and Digimarc Demonstrate Digital Watermarks as a Scalable Solution for Digital Product Passports in the Flooring Industry
WAREGEM, Belgium & BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Beaulieu International Group (B.I.G.), a global leader in material and flooring solutions, and Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), a pioneer in digital watermarking technologies, have successfully demonstrated that invisible digital watermarks are a highly effective solution for delivering CPR-mandated construction Digital Product Passports (DPP) to the flooring industry while uniquely meeting its complex needs. 'Facilitating the circular economy through DPP compliance is a top priority for Beaulieu, because eventually, all flooring products will be removed and replaced,' said Nele Cattoor, B.I.G.'s Regulatory Compliance Lead. 'The challenge was to find a data carrier that not only functions while the flooring is in place, but also survives the damage that inevitably occurs during removal. This data carrier must therefore be imperceptible to the human eye—something that could be integrated directly onto the surface of our flooring solutions—without affecting the design, appearance, or thickness. It must also be pervasive and durable enough to remain detectable even on small, cut, or damaged pieces of material.' Traditional technologies, such as QR codes, NFC, and RFID cannot meet these requirements. 'You could potentially be technically DPP-compliant by printing QR codes on the backs of glue-down flooring, but once the flooring is installed, those codes can no longer be read, nor are they likely to survive the removal process and therefore be accessible to recycling facilities,' explained Dorine Degryse, Sustainability Coordinator CV at B.I.G. 'As a company committed to sustainable living, that was not acceptable. We needed something better—and we found it in Digimarc's digital watermarking technology.' Digimarc's invisible, thumbnail-sized digital watermarks cover the entire surface of the product in a redundant pattern, making them robust, long-lasting, and detectable even after substantial wear and tear. Each watermark carries a unique digital ID linked to product-specific data hosted on Digimarc's Illuminate SaaS platform, enabling a seamless DPP experience via mobile or web applications. Requiring no special ink or printing process, the solution is highly scalable and cost-effective compared to many traditional alternatives. Most importantly, due to their covert nature and robustness, Digimarc digital watermarks can support the entire life cycle of flooring, from installation all the way to recycling. B.I.G. partnered with Digimarc to validate the technology's performance in real-world flooring scenarios. Together, the teams enhanced six B.I.G. artworks with digital watermarks, created corresponding DPP profiles within Digimarc's beta DPP module, and successfully scanned the products to simulate field use. The success of this initiative was showcased at major industry events, including Flanders Flooring Days in June 2025 and the VinylPlus® Digital Product Passport event in Brussels in January 2025. Both demonstrations generated significant interest from flooring manufacturers facing similar DPP compliance challenges. 'Many attendees had never encountered digital watermarking before, so seeing our solution in action—providing instant, invisible access to critical sustainability, circularity, and compliance information stored in the cloud—was eye-opening,' said Lara Misseeuw, Innovation Project Manager at B.I.G. 'It quickly became clear to the industry why digital watermarking technology is so valuable as a next-generation data carrier, which we can use as a more durable and sustainable option alongside, for example, QR codes printed on the backs of products, if desired.' Digimarc has also presented this successful collaboration to the technical group responsible for standards harmonization for the flooring industry (CEN/TC 134 WG 10, AHG Tagging). 'Our ambition is to establish digital watermarks as the industry-validated data carrier for construction materials, starting with flooring,' said Riley McCormack, President and CEO at Digimarc. 'Digital watermarks are a natural fit for construction products because of their invisibility, resilience, redundancy, and simple detection using a mobile phone or scanner. And because they can be applied using varnishes, etchings, molds, and inks, the technology is compatible with a wide range of materials, including pipes, panels, and tiles.' 'Our next step is to continue collaborating with the VinylPlus consortium to drive momentum for digital watermarks as the data carrier of choice to deliver CPR-mandated construction Digital Product Passports (DPP) for the flooring industry,' concluded McCormack.

Digimarc Revolutionizes Audio Content Authentication & Protection with Next-Generation Digital Watermarking
BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Digimarc Corporation (NASDAQ: DMRC), the global leader in digital watermarking, today announced the launch of its next-generation audio watermarking technology. Designed to tackle the most urgent challenges in today's dynamic audio ecosystems, this breakthrough solution helps ensure accurate compensation for creators, provides robust authorship verification, and enables best-in-class protection for sensitive content in the era of generative AI. 'The explosion of digital and AI-generated audio has created unprecedented challenges for rights holders, content creators, companies, and governments,' said Riley McCormack, CEO of Digimarc. 'Our next-generation audio watermarking technology stands out by delivering the crucial tools these entities require to confront these pressing challenges. It enables precise royalty tracking to protect revenue, robust authorship verification to safeguard both human and AI-generated content from misuse, and best-in-class security and robustness to deter insider threats and safeguard sensitive data. These solutions are engineered for the real world: they secure at scale, preserve audio quality, and perform reliably across diverse platforms and even in the noisiest environments. This is how we help creators, artists, distributors, companies, and governments authenticate and protect their valuable digital assets.' Digimarc's new audio watermarking technology delivers powerful benefits to multiple industries: Precise royalty tracking and usage reporting: Unmatched accuracy in tracking audio content across TV, radio, and streaming services enables artists, labels, and distributors to maximize revenue through precise royalty payments and transparent usage insights, ensuring their financial interests are protected. Robust authorship verification: As generative AI fuels a surge in synthetic audio, Digimarc's audio watermarking safeguards both human-created and AI-generated content—from music and podcasts to voice-cloned material—shielding it from misuse, counterfeiting, and unauthorized distribution. Leak detection: To combat the risk of confidential information being leaked and distributed without permission, Digimarc's next-generation audio watermarks can be deployed to ensure organizations and governments can trace the source and take appropriate action, effectively deterring insider threats and safeguarding sensitive data. Built on decades of digital watermarking expertise, Digimarc's latest innovations set a new standard for audio watermarking performance and reliability. Key capabilities include: Every year, billions of dollars in audio royalties go unpaid due to stripped metadata, failed fingerprinting in short or noisy clips, and the inefficiencies of manual royalty tracking systems. Digimarc's technology directly addresses this multi-billion-dollar gap with a scalable, reliable solution that empowers broadcasters, streaming platforms, rights management organizations, and artists to protect their assets and revenues. Additionally, Digimarc's audio watermarks can be used for robust authorship verification across diverse content, including voice, music, podcasts, and audiobooks, as well as in broadcast, streaming, advertising, and dubbing applications, supporting industry efforts to promote trust and accountability. Brent Phillips, Chief Technology Officer at SourceAudio, stated, 'we consider Digimarc technology best-in-class and vital to our business growth. The previous Digimarc audio watermark technology literally unlocked an entirely new vertical for us, and we cannot wait to see how far we can take the new tech. Managing audio rights across diverse platforms and formats demands solutions that can keep up with the speed, scale, and complexity of modern distribution. Digimarc's audio watermarking is completely inaudible. It has passed every "golden ears" test we've thrown at it, yet it is reliably detectable in clips as short as one second—even after compression, remixing, or voiceovers. With Digimarc's watermarks being both inaudible and detectable in such short clips, they outperform other watermarking and fingerprinting technologies, which require longer audio segments for accurate identification.'

Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) a large commercial partner would not renew a large contract on the same terms; (2) as a result, Digimarc would renegotiate the large commercial contract; (3) as a result of the foregoing, Digimarc's subscription revenue and annual recurring revenue would be adversely affected; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Digimarc's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Digimarc class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point.
