This document discusses standards development organizations' (SDOs) challenges with protecting intellectual property in the digital age. Widespread illegal copying and unauthorized use impacts publishers' and SDOs' bottom lines. SDOs face growing intellectual property concerns as standards can now be easily reproduced and distributed digitally. If unaddressed, this could threaten SDOs' ability to continue developing standards and operations by reducing revenue from standard sales. To tackle this issue, ASTM implemented intellectual property and licensing policies, digital rights management, and educational initiatives to protect its intellectual property assets and support continued standards development.
