From Today's Announcement:

"Cengage print products will include a unique certification seal
developed by an expert third-party certification company.  The seal
includes a QR code and one-off indicators that verify the product’s
authenticity.

In cooperation with the Education Publisher Enforcement Group (EPEG),
Cengage recently reviewed the inventories of several online sellers to
determine how much of their inventory was counterfeit.   The results
were startling: for portions of their inventory over 75 percent of the
books were counterfeit, while some had 100 percent of the titles
offered for sale being counterfeit."
