Profile

Digimarc CorporationDMRCInformation Technology

Digital watermark and dynamic QR technologies identify, authenticate, and connect physical and digital media. Illuminate adds APIs, AI-assisted workflows, and interaction insights to turn those identifiers into data-driven services.

Machine-readable digital watermarks and dynamic QR codes are embedded in product packaging, imagery, and other physical and digital media. Illuminate, the company's SaaS platform, combines those identifiers with APIs, AI-assisted authentication workflows, interaction insights, and automation.

Built from the digital-watermarking business and the acquired EVRYTHNG product-cloud capability, the offering is used for identification, authentication, and data-driven workflows. The company describes this as a trust layer for a world of AI-enabled fraud, counterfeiting, and misinformation. Its operating base remains in Beaverton, Oregon. Following a 2026 reorganization, the Nasdaq-listed public parent holds the customer-facing business through Digimarc LLC.
