Summary
Throughout this volume, commentators agree that technical interoperability standards are essential to the operation of the Internet, the World Wide Web, cellular networks, and, indeed, to the modern information society. They are an integral part of the largely invisible infrastructure of the modern world that makes things work, including the rapidly expanding Internet of Things. With the rise of the global economy, copyright has become a prominent factor in the longstanding debate over intellectual property rights in standards, as standards developing organizations (SDOs) typically claim copyright protection to charge substantial fees for access to and rights to use their standards.
