This article provides an overview of the processes by which standards are developed and considers the concept of “interoperability”, the meaning of the term “open standard” and how open standards contribute to interoperability. It explains how intellectual property rights operate in relation to standards and how they can be managed to create standards that are open, not only during their development, but also in implementation. In particular, the article considers how copyright-protected standard specification documents and patented technologies included in standards can be managed to ensure that standards are open.
