“…Standards have positive economic effects. They include promoting market efficiency and expansion, fostering international trade, encouraging competition, lower barriers to market entry and faster diffusion of new technologies, protecting consumers from unsafe or unsubstantiated products, and enabling interoperability among products [23]. Standardization is often a process of building an alliance surrounding a particular technology, especially at the international level.…”

Abstract-This paper discusses the structure characteristics of China's TD-SCDMA industry alliance from complex network perspective. We use the basic two parameters--average path length and clustering coefficient to do the analysis. Results show that comparing to the different types of complex network, China's TD-SCDMA industry alliance has relatively high clustering coefficient and low average path length, implicating the obvious "small-world" characteristic.

“…to reduce the threat of patent ambush in this process (Taffe, 2002)? There are three possible approaches that can be taken to address this growing antitrust policy problem of patent ambush in the de jure technology standards-setting process -all involving the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the US Department of Justice, Antitrust Section (DOJ) (Hemphill, 2005):…”

“…The importance of IP in the development of many of these telecommunications standards is well documented in their research. Other recent scholarly articles focusing on the dynamic of IP in the telecommunications standards development process include those by Bekkers and Liotard (1999), Iverson (1999), Hjelm (2000), Glimstedt (2001), Bekkers, Verspagen and Smits (2002) and Hemphill (2005a).…”

The focus of this article is on exploring the business competitive consequences of firm patent strategies in the United States de jure technology standard development processes. An analytic framework ("Firm Patent Strategies Matrix") is created which formally identifies a set of firm patent strategies applicable in the de jure technology standard development process. This Firm Patent Strategies Matrix is predicated on two key variables relevant to the standard development process: first, firms are either active participants in standard-setting committees, or they are non-participants, and second, firms are either disclosing appropriate information on potentially relevant patented technology (or patent pending applications on such technology), or they are not disclosing such potentially relevant patented information on technology (or patent pending applications on such technology), in the standard development process. The Firm Patent Strategies Matrix identifies the following four generic strategic choices for a technology-driven firm to choose among concerning the disposition of its patents: (1) Disclosure/Participation, (2) Disclosure/Non-Participation, (3) Non-Disclosure/Participation, and (4) Non-Disclosure/Non-Participation. Public policy issues, relevant to these Firm Patent Strategies, are identified (e.g., RAND licencing terms, patent ambush and submarine patents) and recommended policy solutions are offered (e.g., instituting Ex Ante royalty discussions, vigorous federal antitrust enforcement against patent ambush and the wider use of firm patent liability insurance, respectively).
