Standards Making and the Market for IP Paul Carpenter Research In Motion Limited SOS Interop III February 2006
Systemised insertion of IP into Standards • Increased participation in Standards • Wider geographical representation • Diverse industry interests • Systemised insertion of IP • ETSI IPR Database • Nature of contributions to SDOs • Distortion of benefits of standardisation
Where does this leave us? • Increasing, unbounded cumulative royalty rate • The consumer pays • Challenges new entrants • Industry groups bringing specifications to SDOs • Limits the opportunity for contribution • Killing the reward for innovation • Why make product?
