Standards are technical specifications that describe certain
features of products and services. Standards are used, among other
things, to assure minimum safety, health, and environmental
efficacy levels; to dictate minimum levels of information that must
be provided to the public; and to signify compliance with specified
performance characteristics. Many standards enable products
designed and produced by different companies to operate and
communicate with one another. Such interoperability standards, when
implemented broadly across markets, give rise to beneficial network
effects and efficiencies. Interoperability standards are important
in many industries but particularly characterize the information
technology, mobile telephone, and consumer electronics sectors.
Patent Challenges for Standard-Setting the Global Economy focuses
on information and communication technologies. This report examines
how leading national, regional, and multinational standards bodies
address issues of intellectual property arising in connection with
the development of technical standards. It considers policies with
respect to such matters as requirements for the disclosure of IP
essential or relevant to the development and implementation of
standards; the terms of IP licensing to implementers of a standard;
and whether conditions attached to IP incorporated in standards
carry over to a new holder in the event of a transfer of IP rights.
This study further assesses how these policies work in practice and
in a legal context and how variations in these policies relate to
different types of standards activities, organizations, and fields
of technology. Finally, Patent Challenges for Standard-Setting in
the Global Economy evaluates the effectiveness of these policies in
reducing conflict between IP holders and other implementers,
balancing the interests of firms of different sizes and with
different business models, and balancing the interests of producers
and consumers.
