  3. ISBNs are the IP of: by Algorithmnast · · Score: 4, Informative · on Don't Take Notes In the Bookstore

    ISBNs on books are the IP of The US ISBN Agency, and since they have the sole authority in the U.S. to issue ISBNs, it's a bit of a stretch (read: LIE) for any other legal entity to claim that the ISBN printed on the book are their IP.

    If you prefer, you can ask The National Information Standards Organization, which will tell you the for country X it's organization Y. For instance, Canadians will use their own agency.

    The desire to destroy competition is alive and well. Let's hope this is one attempt which fails miserably.

    Canuck is usually used in a patriotic way, at least when used by Canadians.

    This is probably due to the influence of Johnny Canuck an Uncle Sam like character.
