It actually says "Invention of the Bar Code" if you hover your mouse over the image...

take it to the next level, holmes.

On 20 October 1949 Woodland and Silver filed a patent application for "Classifying Apparatus and Method", in which they described both the linear and bullseye printing patterns, as well as the mechanical and electronic systems needed to read the code. The patent was issued on 7 October 1952 as US Patent 2,612,994.

Yea, I ended up checking the wiki on it. Just didn't feel like posting a follow-up to clarify, I figured someone else would call it out.

So Google messed up, that's pretty funny.

Re: Google 1984?
Oh the irony

That brings up a good question. What happens when you can't find an answer from googling it?

well, yes and no. the initial development began many years prior with today being the shazam moment of the patent. i give them a pass on this one.

Re: Google 1984?
Its not official until its legal...

Many things were probably invented many times over, the only proof you had that it was your invention was a patent.


Look at Marconi and the radio.

Tesla actually did it first.
