Why are Participants in business groups required to sign the GS1 MobileCom IP Policy?
There have been recent legal developments under which so-called “business methods” have been deemed patentable subject matter. Because the GS1 Global Standards Management Process (GSMP) is driven in part by business process proposals made by prospective end users, we also request that Participants involved in developing Standards/Specifications also affirm a commitment to the IP Policy relative to any such necessary intellectual property.
