    Where you'll find this: "
    The associated patents from Digital:Convergence, Corp. and technology behind the first-ever consumer code reader have been purchased and maintained by LV Partners, L.P."

    Ah yes, I actually have seen this product. However, it doesn't look like this technology is the same stuff being used in the QR codes. The QR codes were created in 1994 by a Japanese company and have since become used throughout Asia and parts of Europe. I think the major problem with the QR cat is it was connected to the computer and not integrated with the mobile technology that is available today. Thanks for the mention of CueCat. That's one item I hadn't thought about including in this series.
