ndustry standards are fundamental to many areas of computers and communications. They can provide great benefits but they can also be problem area, particularly at the intersection between standards and patents.

Our attorneys are among the most experienced in the country in the area of standards and standards bodies, having developed many of the basic agreements and structures used with ad hoc consortia. We are very familiar with the various patent disclosure requirements of standards bodies and the potential estoppels which may arise if the disclosure is not properly handled. We have also been very active in the development of patent licensing pools and their legal considerations.   In addition to advising corporate clients on standards matters, our attorneys act as legal counsel for a number of standards groups.
