The digital watermark DRM is being used to secure the supply chain. How exactly that is going to help, I do not know.
Most ebook retailers already use encryption DRM like Adobe, Kindle, iBooks, so I don't see how this effort will make it more secure.

I believe what they're trying to identify is when ebooks show up on torrents before they're available for sale. In that case it's obviously been leaked in their supply chain but they currently don't know where.
