I’d like to learn more about the Micro Four Thirds standard, especially the technical details and communication protocol. The official Four Thirds website only seems to provide a high-level overview. Is the full specification publicly available, or can it be purchased? If not, how would someone request access to the standard documentation?

No. Micro Four Thirds is not an open standard. The specification is available to member companies, which are listed here. It's not a tiny list, but it's not large, either.

Your best bet is found on the contact page, which says (sic):

To Manufacturers considering developing or selling the Four Thirds compliance product.

No. Based on the available information, Micro Four Thirds is not an open public standard. The full specification is generally available to member companies rather than to the public, so it is not something you can simply download or buy like an open published spec.

If you need official documentation, the recommended route is to contact the Four Thirds organization directly through the manufacturer inquiry contact listed on their site. In practice, access appears intended for companies developing or selling compliant products, not for general public research.

So if your goal is to study the communication protocol in detail, there likely is no public official document available; you would need to approach the standards body or join through a participating company.
