Standardization & Antitrust Law: 3 Risks That Could Slow Down Industrial Projects in 2025
Our partner Dr. Christian H. Müller has contributed an expert article to the current issue of Rechtspraxis der Industrie (RInPrax).
Focus of the issue
Issue 4/2025 provides a practical overview of the legal challenges facing current industrial and infrastructure projects – from digitalization and dispute resolution to complex contract and antitrust issues.
Our contribution
“Antitrust Law and Standardization in Industry – Pitfalls and Practical Recommendations”
Dr. Müller shows how standardization and norming of products and processes are to be classified legally – and which risks companies should consider from an antitrust perspective.
Why this matters now
Standardization bodies and consortia are valuable – but things become critical when sensitive information is exchanged.
Access & Fairness: Those who set standards must remain non-discriminatory.
Standard governance: clear rules for decisions and changes – no strategic slowing down.
Thanks and outlook
We thank the editorial team and the publisher CHBeck for the pleasant cooperation.
