“Intermec’s CTO, Harley Heinrich, told the 20 or so invited members of EPCglobal’s Hardware Action Group, which was meeting to continue work on a Gen 2 EPC specification, that it would make five patents available on a royalty-free basis.

Intermec submitted a document to EPCglobal that spells out the specific patents and where they relate to the so-called Chicago protocol, the latest draft of the Gen 2 UHF specification (for more, see Consensus Reached on EPC Gen 2).”
