To reply to your question the best for you would be to look at the ISO document attached which deals with "Guidelines and policies for the protection of ISO's intellectual property". In principle this document has been distributed to every TC and SC secretariat after its acceptance by ISO Council in 1997. It gives the basis and the reasons for protecting ISO's intellectual property at all stages of development. It also gives reasons why ISO's intellectual property should be protected and principally because by protecting ISO's property you protect at the same time all ISO members' intellectual property: to summarize no protection means no (or limited) financial resources and consequently no more international standards developed for the community. This does not mean that ISO does not allow reproduction of text of standards. Normally you can reproduce as much as 10% of the technical text of any ISO standard without being asked to pay a copyright fee. Above that percentage this is on a case by case basis and requests for reproduction should be send to the ISO member in the country concerned. For the calculation of the copyright fee, if applicable, we recognize 3 types of requests: request emanating from educational bodies for internal use, from companies for internal use or from commercial bodies for monetary gain. For each of these request we apply a different calculation. I do not think it is needed to go into more details but please feel free to contact me for additional information. Best regards Jacques
