brewskih: That's untrue. NEOM's patents cover 2D codes as well, not just 1D standard barcodes. NEOM's patents don't cover 3D codes, but I don't see the real advantage in those and by the time they ever (if ever) surpass 2D codes, NEOM will have so many satisfied customers who are registered w/ qode, that it won't matter, IMO.
Neomedia owns this space and in the near future, we will see the full strenght of their patents and "qode" come into full play.
Mark my words.
