Zebra Invests In RFID Patents
Zebra Technologies spent US$10M to acquire over 200 RFID patents and applications originally owned by BTG, a UK company. BTG is planning on focusing on their medical research and technology projects, thus leaving RFID completely. Get more details at RFID Update. Zebra has been investing and promoting RFID for quite some time. According to the RFID Update article, they were the first company to produce an integrated RFID printer/ encoder. Last year, they were a founding member of the RFID Consortium, a patent pool. They gifted an RFID lab to Indiana University's Kelley School last year, and are providing technical support to University of California Irvine's RFID Certificate Program.
