QR QR code is a Japanese patent, so if we develop the corresponding coding and decoding software, it will constitute infringement. Do we have to pay patent fees?

Patent problems are potential. QR does not charge related fees at present, but it does not mean that it will not be charged in the future. DM asked Nokia to pay $200 million.

Domestic standards should not have this problem, and the cost should be cheaper.

The reason why a country adopts its own standards is not only because of patents, but also because we need to spend more money on equipment if we adopt foreign standards. Moreover, barcode is an information collection technology, which also involves information security issues, so a country must support its own two-dimensional code standard, which is why every country has its own two-dimensional code standard.
