Abstract

This chapter offers business managers an introduction to the intellectual property rights (IPR) issues that should be taken into account when an organization is considering joining or participating in a standards development organization. Copyright, trademark and patent issues, particularly patent disclosure and licensing, are addressed with an emphasis on the potential benefits and risks offered by the most common policy approaches today. Managers are encouraged to review the IPR policies of standards organizations with a view toward their own organizations' preferred IPR strategies and approaches, whether these tend toward product manufacture and distribution without significant attention to IPR monetization, research and development with a focus on IPR generation, or the generation of substantial revenue through IPR licensing.
