Despite barcodes seeming rather dull and boring, they are actually quite interesting, and share an even more fascinating history. Where there are barcodes, there is money. Where there is money, there is often dispute. As such, there have been some interesting law suits surrounding barcodes. In this post I'll be talking about one in particular.
As you should know by now, all barcodes across the world are governed by a central body called GS1. Effectively GS1 issues unique barcode numbers and ensures that duplicates don't appear in stores. GS1 used to be known as the UCC (Uniform Code Council).
