IP Policy Making in the 21st century; The Trans-Pacific Partnership, a "Made in America" Agreement

Increasingly, bilateral and multilateral trade negotiations have become vehicles for norm setting on intellectual property. Recently concluded, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a “made in America” trade agreement among twelve Pacific Rim countries, devise a trade model for intellectual property.

The TPP is a "trade" deal that, ironically, deals little with trade. Of the TPP’s 30 chapters, only five address traditional trade issues. Significant concerns have been raised about both secrecy (negotiations held behind closed doors with details kept from public) and context of the agreement.

Seven years of closed-door negotiations over the TPP and its intellectual property provisions concluded last October. The final TPP text officially published in November confirms critics’ worst fears about the real agenda. It includes an array of binding rules that, if enacted, will tie the hands of national legislatures, restricting their ability to advance public interest policies regarding important issues like public health, education, access to knowledge and Internet governance.

The TPP still has a long way to go. The agreement has to be ratified by all 12 negotiating countries--in many that is a complicated process. The public debate over the TPP has been a lot more robust and educational than the any other US trade agreement. Opposition to the TPP is growing in the US and in many of the other countries involved.
