In August 2002, changes to the GS1 US licensing agreement disallowed the subdivision and reselling of bar codes. Since Bar Codes Talk, LLC. purchased their company prefix from GS1 US in August 1994, they continue to be legally permitted to assign their numbers to other companies, businesses, organizations or people. They also remain exempt from paying renewal fees. (Settlement here).
