A method for estimating a counterfeit probability of a product (1; Fig 1) wherein during an manufacturing event of the product static data 2 associated with the product is generated which is applied to a machine readable label (3; Fig 1) attached to the product and uploaded to a server (4; Fig 1), wherein during a read out event the static data of the machine readable label is read out via a mobile device (5; Fig 1) of a user, wherein a probability value 7 of the product being counterfeit is chosen from a set of at least three different values based on dynamic data (6; Fig 1) associated with the static data from the server, wherein the probability value of the product is sent to the mobile device and displayed. The label may be a passive printed label with the static data provided as machine-readable code.
