Intermec Withdraws 13 RFID Patents
Intermec Technologies Corp. has withdrawn 13 of their RFID patents, allowing companies free access to the RFID technology for which they are building equipment based on EPCglobal's Gen 2 standards. According to Information Week:
For manufacturers that want their products to contain features beyond the minimum, they'll have to negotiate a licensing agreement with Intermec. "We will structure licensing agreements that are tailored to individual company needs, which will allow them to differentiate their products," says Mike Wills, VP and general manager for RFID at Intermec. "Instead of a level playing field where everyone is treated the same," it gives licensees a competitive advantage, he says.
