| Abstract: | The study investigates the issue of standardisation in the ICT sector, analysing the most relevant aspects concerning intellectual property rights and anticompetitive strategies that can arise in standard setting organisations. The strategic dimension of this activity is also scrutinised, highlighting the different approaches followed by the United States and by the European Union. In this respect, after underlining the benefits of processes not lead by public structures, the study describes the fundamental role of internal regulation, which are necessary both for the purpose of having a sound process, and also reducing the risk of collusion and other anticompetitive conducts among members. |
