      abstract = {2020 marks the 50th year of the coming into force of the  World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Convention  1967 and the formal establishment of WIPO. This unique and  wide-ranging Research Handbook brings together eminent  scholars and experts who assess WIPO's role and programmes  during its first half-century, as well as discussing the  challenges facing the organization as it enters its second.   This comprehensive Research Handbook explores the history  and development of WIPO from its conception, through the  changing of its mission over time, to its current position  as a largely self-financing specialized UN agency. Chapters  examine WIPO’s education and technical assistance  programmes, its relationship with the WTO, its interaction  with emerging economies and WIPO’s role in treaty  interpretation and substantive and procedural  harmonization.  The Research Handbook on the World  Intellectual Property Organization will be a key resource  for scholars of trade and development, and intellectual  property. It will also be of value to intellectual property  practitioners, government officials and non-governmental  organizations concerned with intellectual property, trade,  development, and human rights issues and advocacy.},
