SATO joins Intermec RFID Rapid Start Licensing Program
Tokyo-based information collection firm SATO Corp. said Wednesday it has joined a program with Intermec, which holds 145 RFID patents, to deploy various technologies to its customers.
The intellectual property licensing program allows for SATO to have access to Intermec's portfolio of patents that relate to RFID fixed and portable printers, the company said in a statement. The 90-day program, which finished Aug. 31, was an opportunity for manufacturers to draw from the pool of expertise and experience in areas patented by Intermec, to manufacture products with the RFID capabilities sought after by consumers.
