Abstract
According to one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus, system and method for forming RFID labels is disclosed. The RFID labels can include an RFID chip, at least one antenna element and at least one conductive material. The RFID chip may then transmit desired signals based upon a coupling of the conductive material to the RFID chip.

17. A method of preventing tampering to products having RFID tags, comprising:
-
forming an RFID label with an RFID chip, at least one antenna coupled to the RFID chip and a conductive material coupled to the RFID chip; sending a first signal from the RFID chip when the coupling between the RFID chip and the conductive material is intact; and sending a second signal from the RFID chip when the coupling between the RFID chip and at least a portion of the conductive material is not intact. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)

20. A method of forming a tamper-resistant RFID tag, comprising:
-
disposing an RFID chip on a substrate; disposing at least a first antenna element on the substrate; coupling the at least first antenna element to the RFID chip; disposing a conductive loop on the substrate; and connecting a first portion of the conductive loop to a first terminal on the RFID chip and connecting a second portion of the conductive loop to a second terminal on the RFID chip in such a manner that there is no straight-line access from an area outside the RFID tag to the RFID chip.
