The board of Wikimedia UK is delighted to report that Roger Bamkin has signed the final agreement which formally transfers ownership of the intellectual property in QRpedia to Wikimedia UK. Accordingly, as of yesterday all of the IP rights in QRPedia are held by Wikimedia UK.

The final stage in the process is to get the Domain Name Registrars to update their online domain name records to reflect the new ownership. This is purely an administrative procedure which can now be initiated immediately.

We regret the delay in achieving this outcome for the community but we are very happy that the technology has been secured for the global Wikimedia community to use.  We would like to once again thank Roger and Terence Eden for their generous donation of QRpedia intellectual property rights and for their patience during the process.
