Abstract Corporations initiate Standard-Setting Organizations (SSOs) and formulate technology standards across diverse sectors. Existing research has yielded contradictory conclusions between SSOs and firm innovation, engendering a complexity for both practitioners and academic researchers in thoroughly understanding this domain. This study investigates the influence of SSOs on solid innovation and moderating factors, such as network size, membership policy, and firm size. The dataset was collected from 339 firms of the HDMI Forum, coupled with 679,736 patents filed between 1998 and 2020. The findings imply that the participation impact in SSOs is contingent on such factors as network size, contributor membership policy, and firm size. The network effect manifests positively within an optimal network size in closed membership, turning to a negative influence when the network size expands excessively. Also, adopting an open membership policy significantly enhances the participation impact on member firm innovation; conversely, it declines the innovation activities of founder firms. The results clarify that the firm capacity is significant in an open membership setting. Additionally, the study suggests that founders and participants of SSOs ought to consider the dynamic complications of network size, membership policy, and firm size on firm innovation activity.
