The Essential Guide is a concise handbook for anyone who wants to understand standards and standards development from a hands-on perspective: how to decide what Standard Setting Organization (SSO) to join, how to get the most out of one after you do, and how to create an SSO if the right one doesn’t already exist.
Government Concerns and Policies
Governments the world over are taking a greater interest in SSOs, as consumers, as regulators, and as protectors and advocates for domestic industry.
Laws, Cases and Regulations
SSOs are both encouraged and regulated under the antitrust and anticompetition laws of nations around the world. They can also be the source of expensive private litigation.
