The Ten Commandments for Effective Standards: Practical Insights for Creating Technical Standards ReviewKaren succinctly put together the top ten check list items for creating standards. Even though the book was written from an EDA or electronics industry perspective, I believe the same commandments apply to most industries. I wonder, if this book would (or should) serve as a primer to business or law school graduates who want to specialize in patents or get involved in standards organizations. These are lessons learnt from a battlefield veteran, involved in working several standards organizations. This book also provides a window to the workings of the standards organization, tricks played by participants and non-participants to advance or stall the progress.There are countless conversations and debates in company cafeterias in the tech industry about the decisions made by companies to donate the hard earned patents by an engineers to standards organizations. This book can provide some reasons why a company did donate the patents.
Rick Jamison's cartoons provides the necessary softness to a topic like standards game. I loved the cartoon on page 71 (about the committee voting for lunch), which captures the complete story.
The CPF vs UPF debate and the costs - It is very interesting to note the costs involved in creating a standard and the ROI for creating a standard. $41M for CPF vs $3M for UPF.
However, these are lessons learnt only. Hopefully, Karen follows up with all the insider stories of how and why some standards are successful. Another important aspect is, does successful product create successful standards? Example Verilog and SDC. Both of them were proprietary but highly successful before they became opensource. Can there be an imperfect standard that is highly successful - Like the QWERTY keyboard? Longevity of a standard - like the TI84 calculator a standard for all high school kids, even though better hand held tools are available today? Lastly,creating standards - is it for the evolutionary game or revolutionary game? For example, Bob Metcalfe and David Boggs created the ethernet with cable TV wire at Xerox PARC. Imagine developing a revolutionary standard like this with a committee.The Ten Commandments for Effective Standards: Practical Insights for Creating Technical Standards Overview
