Again, .NET is an ECMA standard; complete with a reference implementation. If you consider JavaScript to be a standard, there's no reason why .NET isn't.
.NET is a standard, but with parts covered by patents in the US. OOXML is a specification, which is not yet a standard.
For the record pure software patents are not recognised in India as of now. So you are probaly safe as long as u dont export to countries permitting software patents.
