Intermec Could Push Up RFID Price
If Intermec Technologies gets its way, companies would have to license the Gen 2 RFID technology, pushing the price of RFID tags upward.

"It's not our intention to give away our innovation and IP," Mike Wills, vice president and general manager of Intermec, said.
The possibility of having to license technology used in the Gen 2 standard is significant because vendors have been struggling to reduce the per-unit cost of electronic tags, a key component of RFID, or radio-frequency identification, technology.
