5 Disclaimer

6 GS1?, under its IP Policy, seeks to avoid uncertainty regarding intellectual property claims by requiring the participants in 7 the Work Group that developed this EPC Tag Data Standard Standard to agree to grant to GS1 members a royalty-free 8 licence or a RAND licence to Necessary Claims, as that term is defined in the GS1 IP Policy. Furthermore, attention is drawn 9 to the possibility that an implementation of one or more features of this Specification may be the subject of a patent or 10 other intellectual property right that does not involve a Necessary Claim. Any such patent or other intellectual property 11 right is not subject to the licencing obligations of GS1. Moreover, the agreement to grant licences provided under the GS1 12 IP Policy does not include IP rights and any claims of third parties who were not participants in the Work Group.

13 Accordingly, GS1 recommends that any organization developing an implementation designed to be in conformance with this 14 Specification should determine whether there are any patents that may encompass a specific implementation that the 15 organisation is developing in compliance with the Specification and whether a licence under a patent or other intellectual 16 property right is needed. Such a determination of a need for licencing should be made in view of the details of the specific 17 system designed by the organisation in consultation with their own patent counsel.

18 THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF 19 MERCHANTABILITY, NONINFRINEGMENT, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR ANY WARRANTY OTHER WISE ARISING 20 OUT OF THIS SPECIFICATION. GS1 disclaims all liability for any damages arising from use or misuse of this Standard, 21 whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory damages, and including liability for infringement of any 22 intellectual property rights, relating to use of information in or reliance upon this document.

23 GS1 retains the right to make changes to this document at any time, without notice. GS1 makes no warranty for the use of 24 this document and assumes no responsibility for any errors which may appear in the document, nor does it make a 25 commitment to update the information contained herein.
