This briefing paper provides preliminary analysis of the leaked U.S. proposal for an intellectual property chapter in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement. What is clear from this analysis is that the U.S. proposal, if adopted, would create the most extreme, anti-consumer and anti-development international instrument on intellectual property to date. Its provisions go far beyond the TRIPS agreement, the KORUS agreement and even current US law.
