Abstract
The standards setting process relies to an increasing degree on successfully integrating
up-to-date research and development results (R&D). The successful interaction between
research and standards can provide important social benefits. But, to do so, a number of
challenges need to be faced. One key and persistent challenge is to provide the conditions
in which the cross-purposes of formal standards-setting bodies and intellectual property
rights can equitably be accommodated. This means balancing the collective gains to be
reaped from the elaboration of a common standard against the individual gains to be
allocated to relevant individual rights-holders. This discussion paper focuses on
approaches to the reemerging tension between intellectual-property-rights and standards.
It points to the importance that successful approaches can have to improve the interaction
the between research and standardization activities. It then goes on to consider the
(re)emergence of two approaches that are indicative of the changing relationship between
intellectual property rights and standards-setting bodies.
