Who Designed Universal Product Code?

Mr. Lauerer was asked to develop universal Product Code base on bull-eyed shaped code combination invented by N. Joseph Woodland in 1940. The purpose was that Universal Product Code would be printed on food labels and can be easily compatible with scanners, which was developed later on.
