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. 000048879 650_0 $$aIntellectual property.$$zEuropean Union 000048879 650_0 $$aWorld Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) 000048879 650_0 $$aTechnological innovation 000048879 7001_ $$aKwakwa, Edward,$$eauthor. 000048879 7001_ $$aTalbott, Autumn,$$eauthor. 000048879 7102_ $$aSpringer Publishing 000048879 77308 $$iBetween Autonomy and Dependence$$aEdited by Ramses A.
