Abstract
How can the impact of intellectual property in the developing world be measured, and how may countries be classified for the purpose of that analysis? The litmus test for the success of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Development Agenda will be if and how it is implemented in practice. This edited collection brings together essays written by leading thinkers from emerging economies, Canada, and elsewhere to develop strategies for implementation. The Development Agenda needs input not just from national delegates at WIPO or from the Secretariat, but also from leading academics and others in civil society.
