Furthermore, attention is drawn 9 to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or 10 other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property 11 right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 12 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group. Release 1.13, Ratified, Nov 2019 2019 GS1 AISBL Page 2 of 217 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. GS1 disclaims all liability for any damages arising from use or misuse of this Standard, 21 whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory damages, and including liability for infringement of any 22 intellectual property rights, relating to use of information in or reliance upon this document. 23 GS1 retains the right to make changes to this document at any time, without notice.

Material Handling Industry 8720 Red Oak Blvd., Suite 201 Charlotte, NC 28217-3992 Published: v20120621 Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by the American American National Standards Institute (ANSI) that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards National developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Standard Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a concerted effort be made toward their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards. The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute.

  • 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.

    Fresh Leafy Greens New Walmart Food Traceability Initiative Questions and Answers At Walmart and Sam’s Club, our commitment to our customers is unparalleled and we are always working to provide safe and quality foods in our stores and Clubs. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we go further than many U.S. retailers do in requiring harmonized, leading-edge food safety standards be adopted throughout the entire food production chain. In light of recent leafy green outbreaks and recent developments in new and emerging technologies, we are re-emphasizing with our suppliers some of our already existing food safety requirements as well as an additional new layer of protection by requiring all leafy green suppliers to implement end-to-end traceability using blockchain technology. Leafy greens remain an important food commodity to our customers and this new traceability requirement is consistent with our commitment to continuous improvement and goal to provide safe and affordable food, so people can live better. Food Safety Related Questions Why is Walmart launching this initiative now? Why is Walmart starting with leafy greens? Will Walmart make this a requirement for other food commodities as well? Will this be required of leafy green suppliers in all the markets that you operate? What leafy green commodities are in the scope of the requirement? Will this be required of products that contain leafy greens as well as other ingredients? What will it cost to comply with the requirements? What business process changes will
