Why Do I Need a License?

EVRYTHNG Limited (“EVRYTHNG”) is offering a royalty-free license for use of our patented context-based product URI redirection technology for use with the GS1 Digital Link standard.  

If you are implementing a solution with GS1 Digital Link and intend to make use of context aware redirection to provide different experiences for a given GS1 Digital Link, you will need a license from EVRYTHNG which is the owner of the US Patent No. 9,794,321B2 (the “Patent”). 

The Patent contains Essential Claims for the implementation of the GS1 Digital Link Standard Release 1.1 for the following sections: (i) 7.1 (Resolver Functionality), (ii) 7.6 (Associating links with identified terms), (iii) 7.7.2.1 (Granular identifiers), (iv) 7.7.2.2 (Examples), (v) 7.7.3 (Requesting a specific link type (client side)), (vi) 7.7.5 (The context keyword), and (vii) 7.7.6 (Recognising the user’s language and requested media type). 

EVRYTHNG is offering to grant a royalty free, non-exclusive license to the Patent to users of the GS1 Link Standard 1.1, for use with their application of resolvers, subject to such users who wish to obtain the benefit of the license registering with EVRYTHNG to receive the license and agreeing the license terms. For avoidance of doubt, this licensing offer pertains to implementations of Release 1.1 of the GS1 Digital Link Standard. We anticipate the license being extended to subsequent releases of the GS1 Digital Link Standard, subject to the scope of those releases, and we will contact you to update your license agreement in such circumstances.
