-## On the `[TO VERIFY]` markers
-
-They are the point, not a defect. Patent expiry, trademark status and
-rights-holder positions are exactly the claims where being confidently
-wrong causes harm, so anything not independently confirmed is marked rather
-than smoothed over. A file with more markers is being more honest, not less
-reliable.
-
-**No trademark search was performed.** Where a file says no mark is known,
-that describes the limit of what the author knows, not a finding.

+## Review labels
+
+The inventory now uses scoped labels instead of one generic marker:
+
+- `[VERIFIED FACT]` — supported by a primary or authoritative public source.
+- `[REGISTRY CHECK REQUIRED]` — a live trademark, ownership or registration
+  status still needs a current office-record search.
+- `[PATENT FAMILY REVIEW REQUIRED]` — a patent family, continuation,
+  jurisdiction, term adjustment or maintenance record still needs review.
+- `[LICENSE TERMS REVIEW REQUIRED]` — the standard or publisher's text,
+  copyright and redistribution terms still need confirmation.
+- `[LEGAL REVIEW]` — an attribution, commercial conclusion or jurisdictional
+  issue should be reviewed by qualified counsel before relying on it.
+
+These labels distinguish engineering facts from unresolved legal questions.
+They do not certify that a format is free of patent, trademark or copyright
+constraints in every country.
+
+The primary references used for the current review include:

+Aztec Code — format provenance and usability
+==========================================================================
+
+This file records where the Aztec Code symbology comes from, what governs
+it, and the basis on which this project implements and redistributes it.
+
+It is an ENGINEERING INVENTORY, NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Items carrying a review label
+have not been independently confirmed by the author.
+
+
+ORIGIN
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Created by Andrew Longacre, Jr. of Welch Allyn in the 1990s. The inventor,
+assignee and public dedication are supported by the USPTO Official Gazette;
+ownership history outside that record remains [LEGAL REVIEW].
+
+
+SPECIFICATION
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ISO/IEC 24778:2024 — Aztec Code bar code symbology specification.
+Published by ISO/IEC. The specification TEXT is copyrighted by its
+publisher and is paywalled; it is not reproduced here.
+
+Specification TEXT is copyrighted by its publisher. The SYMBOLOGY it
+describes is not — an encoding scheme is a system, not a work of
+authorship. This project implements the symbology; it does not reproduce,
+redistribute or excerpt any specification document.
+
+
+PATENT STATUS
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The original US patent was dedicated to the public, as recorded by the USPTO.
+International patent families, continuations and current effects remain
+[PATENT FAMILY REVIEW REQUIRED].
+
+
+TRADEMARK
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The current registration status and ownership of the words "Aztec Code"
+have not been independently established. [REGISTRY CHECK REQUIRED] The name is used
+descriptively here and does not imply endorsement by any rights holder.
+
+A trademark does not restrict implementing a symbology. It restricts
+branding — how a product names and presents itself.
+
+
+IMPLEMENTATION BASIS IN THIS PROJECT
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Aztec Code is implemented here from published descriptions of the format,
+which are systems and facts rather than works of authorship. No source
+code and no constant table from any other barcode implementation was used,
+consulted or copied, under any licence.
+
+
+CONCLUSION
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This project's original implementation is distributed under the MIT
+License. The ISO/IEC reference establishes the technical standard; this
+engineering inventory does not claim to have resolved the patent or
+trademark entries that remain open for review.
