| Title: | Patents and the Performance of Voluntary Standard Setting Organizations |
| Authors: | Rysman, Marc

| Abstract: | This paper measures the technological significance of voluntary standard
setting organizations (SSOs) by examining citations to patents disclosed
in the standard setting process. We find that SSO patents are cited far
more frequently than a set of control patents, and that SSO patents
receive citations for a much longer period of time. Furthermore, we find
a significant correlation between citation and the disclosure of a
patent to an SSO, which may imply a marginal impact of disclosure. These
results provide the first empirical look at patents disclosed to SSOs,
and show that these organizations not only select important
technologies, but may also play a role in establishing their significance. |
