USDTechnical standards like USB, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth are ubiquitous in the modern networked economy. They allow products made and sold by different vendors to interoperate with little to no consumer effort and enable new market entrants to innovate on top of established technology platforms. This groundbreaking volume, edited by Jorge L. Contreras, assesses and analyzes legal aspects of technical standards and standardization beyond those covered in its companion volume (patents, competition, and antitrust). Bringing together leading international experts, advocates, and policymakers, it focuses on key areas of technical standardization law including administrative, trade, copyright, trademark, and certification law. This comprehensive, detailed examination sheds new light on the standards that shape the global technology marketplace and will serve as an indispensable tool for scholars, practitioners, judges, and policymakers everywhere.
- Provides the first comprehensive treatment that unites discussions of administrative, copyright, trademark, and international trade law in a single resource
- Integrates perspectives on standardization and litigation concerning standardization from the United States and Europe to provide international reach
- Offers both a comprehensive and balanced perspective on this complex area of law to serve as an invaluable resource for judges, policymakers, legal practitioners and industry representatives
