A July 13 letter from 22 Members of Congress to President Obama asks the administration to seek high standards for intellectual property protection in the Trans Pacific Partnership, and to use the provisions in the pending Korea-US Free Trade Agreement as a model: “We believe the TPP IP provisions should build upon the high standards for IP protection contained in the most recently concluded U.S. free trade agreement – the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement (“KORUS) – and U.S. law. We urge your administration to use KORUS as a baseline for negotiation with our TPP partners, and to table text at the next round of TPP negotiations in September based upon the high IP Standards embodied in KORUS.”
