Abstract
An overview of standards and standard-setting processes. A description of the economic effect of technology standards and between the impact on competition and welfare that various levels of standards have. It is argued that most of what is claimed for “open standards” in recent policy debates was already well encompassed by the term “standards”; a different term is needed only if it is defined clearly in order to provide a distinct economic effect.
