The use and manufacturing of i2c devices is subject to a copyright and patents from philips. This means that if you , as a semiconductor manufacturer or system developer , need to purchase a licence from philips to use i2c technology in your system.

What this seems to mean in practices is that manufacturers call there i2c compatible parts "2 wire interface" chips, that just happen to be compatible with the i2c protocol, rather than pay phillips royalties for the right to actually SAY "i2c"...

i2c is very (VERY) simple.

The original patent is now in the public domain. As always

"Purchase of Philips i2c components conveys a license under the Philips i2c patent to use the components in the i2c system, provided the system conforms to the i2c specifications defined by Philips."+
