THIS CONTRIBUTION ADDRESSES the Development Agenda for the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) and the role of intellectual property rights (IPR) in fostering innovation and technology transfer. More in particular, the mounting pressure from developing nations to view intellectual property not just as a means to guarantee the interests of rightholders, but also to bring about economic development and welfare for the
whole of global society.
