Moving forward together, to better serve your business ©2009 GS1 19 Why do we need an IPP? GS1 Working Groups specify business requirements, process, and specifications. Many patents exist and are being filed today in areas relevant to those requirements and specifications. Companies could hold patents on aspects of the process that later deter implementation. It is GS1’s role to protect the GS1 community and its investment in development and implementation to the best of its ability.
