      abstract = {For four decades, the World Intellectual Property  Organization (WIPO) and its members have worked to develop  an international intellectual property system that protects  the public interest while rewarding creativity, stimulating  innovation and contributing to economic development. This  chapter examines the impact of the relationship between  WIPO and the EU on the development of intellectual property  norms in the EU. This discussion considers the effects of  WIPO’s norm-making activities, over-arching policies and  basic practices. In addition, some EU policies and  decisions are examined for their reciprocal influences on  WIPO practices and norm-making activities. In light of the  strong link between the EU and WIPO, the autonomy of the EU  has been called into question. By analysing the ongoing  impact of WIPO, this chapter endeavours to determine  whether the EU can truly be considered an autonomous legal  order in matters of intellectual property.},
