Abstract
Even though it can appear to an independent observer, who is not deeply involved in the standardization and innovation processes that standards are contributing only to a very static, quite predictable and maybe even boring, part of the community life, the real situation is quite different. As it will be shown later in the book, the standardization is a perpetual, never-ending “refreshing” process and, at the same time, an indispensable basis for the innovations. The innovation is known to be an exciting process that brings a lot of benefit and enjoyable time to the inventors. If the innovation is of a transformational (radical) type, it brings also a lot of benefits to society. The chapter will lead us to understand the real relationship between standards and innovation, and that is a perpetual interactive and closed loop.
