Standardization & antitrust law: 3 risks that could slow down industrial projects in 2025

Our partner Dr. Christian H. Müller is featured in the current issue of Rechtspraxis der Industrie (RInPrax) with a specialist article.

Issue 4/2025 takes a practical look at the legal challenges facing current industrial and infrastructure projects – from digitalization and dispute resolution to complex contractual and antitrust issues.

"Antitrust law and standardization in industry – pitfalls and practical recommendations"
Dr. Müller shows how the standardization and normalization of products and processes can be classified legally – and what risks companies should be aware of from an antitrust perspective.

• Standardization bodies and consortia are valuable—but things get 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 obstruction.

We would like to thank the editorial team and the publisher C.H.Beck for their pleasant cooperation.
