ISO/IEC 25900 (apparently it was first standardized by Ecma; the ISO standard is a later version).

As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours; and this we should do freely and generously. (Benjamin Franklin)

Perhaps the OOXML had a double oophorectomy... ;-)

ISO is notoriously weak on this point. ITU at least requires patent holders to either enter their patents into the public domain, or make a standard-wide consortium selling patent rights without prejudice. So you can buy rights for e.g. G.729 from one place at a fixed price. ITU also bans patent renewals. So on January 7th 2015 all the G.729 era stuff is free.

IETF does not accept patent enforcement in standards.

Both.
