SANTA ANA, Calif. and ISMANING, Germany, December 3, 2012 (euro adhoc) -
Identive Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: INVE; Frankfurt: INV), a provider of solutions and
services for the identification, security and RFID industries, today announced
that it has been awarded patent 8,269,688 by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office for an application of its 'tag on metal' (tom) technology,
which utilizes specialized magnetic shielding to allow radio frequency
identification (RFID) tags to be used on metal devices or equipment, which
normally interfere with RFID signal performance.

near field communication (NFC) functionality to smartphones that are already in
the market today. This latest patent builds on other patented and
patent-pending inventions within our RFID tag on metal product family and
reinforces Identive's position as a leading developer of solutions for emerging
markets such as NFC, payment and mobility," said Joe Tassone, executive vice
president of technology and product management for Identive.
