Furthermore, attention is drawn to the 9 possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or other 10 intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property right is 11 not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 IP Policy 12 does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group. Release 1.12, Ratified, May 2019 2019 GS1 AISBL Page 2 of 216 EPC Tag Data Standard Standard 13 Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organization developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this 14 Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the 15 organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual 16 property right is needed. Such a determination of a need for licencing should be made in view of the details of the specific 17 system designed by the organisation in consultation with their own patent counsel. 18 THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED “AS IS” WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF 19 MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINEGMENT, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY OTHER WISE ARISING 20 OUT OF THIS SPECIFICATION.

    PRESS RELEASE GS1, IBM and Microsoft Announce Collaboration

    PRESS RELEASE GS1, IBM and Microsoft Announce Collaboration to Leverage GS1 Standards in Enterprise Blockchain Applications GS1 Open Standards Promote Interoperability of Blockchain Applications Across Supply Chain Networks Brussels, 13 September 2017: GS1®, the global business communications standards organisation, today announced a collaboration with IBM and Microsoft to leverage GS1 Standards in their enterprise blockchain applications for supply chain clients. GS1’s global standards for identification and structured data enable blockchain network users to scale enterprise adoption and maintain a single, shared version of the truth about supply chain and logistics events—increasing data integrity and trust between parties, and reducing data duplication and reconciliation. Data stored or referenced by blockchain networks can be structured for shared communications and interoperability through the use of standards. For example, the GS1 and ISO open standards of Electronic Product Code Information Services (EPCIS) and Core Business Vocabulary (CBV) enable standardised exchange of data and item-level tracking. “What attracts many organisations to blockchain technology is the possibility of sharing data across corporate boundaries while maintaining a high degree of rigor and accuracy,” said Robert Beideman, Vice President – Retail, GS1. “We hope to make this possibility a reality for businesses by working with dedicated technology and industry partners—and together promoting a common business language.” Standards in the Supply Chain GS1 Standards offer global businesses like Walmart the ability to expand blockchain networks to suppliers, distributors and other ecosystem partners, unlocking the business value of data sharing, transparency, visibility and trust. IBM and Walmart have successfully used blockchain technology in a pilot test to enhance the traceability of two food commodities in two different countries: mangoes in the U.S.

    Why “GTIN” Should Be Your New Favorite E-Commerce Acronym

    Why “GTIN” should be your new favorite e-Commerce acronym The Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) can be used by a company to uniquely identify all of its trade items. GTINs can also be used to identify trade items online , for example in catalogues and in electronic messages (purchase orders, invoices, etc) and can also be embedded in web pages to optimize use by search engines and provide more information to consumers. Google, Amazon, eBay and Alibaba adopt the use of GTINs and invite merchants to use them. Google Since 16 th May 2016 , merchants who sell products with a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) , should make sure that GTINs are included in their Google data feed, or else those items will be disapproved. The deadline was set by Google, in order to improve the Google Shopping experience. The result was better product data, improved user experiences and more productive online ad campaigns. In a Google internal analysis, it has been measured that offers matched to the Google Shopping product catalog may receive up to 40% more clicks than unmatched offers. • Columnist and Googler Matt Lawson explains to “Search Engine Land” why you need to take GTINs seriously • Google Shopping GTIN Requirement Hangout on Air Alibaba Alibaba Group, recently active also in Greece, is the world’s largest online and mobile trading market. It runs various online and mobile platforms covering Retail, Wholesale and Cloud Computing, thus offering consumers, merchants and other participants’ technology and services for commercial activities in e-Commerce ecosystem. Alibaba Group invites brand owners to adopt GS1 standards for product information management and use Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) for uniquely “identifying” their products in global e-Commerce.

    BarTender® software information sheet English BarTender® automates GS1 Digital Link codes The GS1 Digital Link standard for web-enabled 2D barcodes is creating a revolution in item-level identification. The beauty of GS1 Digital Link is that the data returned to end user is contextual — it’s a dynamic code that delivers different data to the user, depending on things like the user location, time zone, demographics or a campaign. By scanning one single Digital Link code, a consumer could access a recipe or nutrition information, a retailer could see a calendar for item promotions and store planograms for that item, and a logistics provider could learn the product’s handling information and track its journey through the supply chain. When GS1 wanted to know if existing technology could enable generating BarTender® and Digital Link Digital Link-compliant barcodes, Digital Link barcodes are well-designed, complex technology. And BarTender software makes they came to BarTender for help. creating Digital Link-enabled labeling simple. Straightforward. We thought it was a great idea. Our chief engineer, recognizing the global impact that Digital Link could have, went home and wrote the preliminary code to that enables GS1 Digital Link 1 in BarTender that night.

Furthermore, attention is drawn to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group. Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organisation developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual property right is needed.
