A. Yes. GLNs are created using the GS1 Company Prefix assigned to the company. The GS1 Company Prefix may be directly assigned to the company or the company may utilize the GS1 Company Prefix of its parent company, with the knowledge and consent of the parent company. However, a parent company may not use a GS1 Company Prefix assigned to a company it owns.
