Leaked TPP draft reveals extreme rights holder position of US, Japan, outraged observers say
Critics poring over a newly leaked alleged draft of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement (TPP) intellectual property chapter say it shows the United States is taking an all-out lurch toward greater protection and less access, causing outrage among public interest groups.
On 16 October, Wikileaks leaked a draft of the TPP agreement from the Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, round last May. The draft (dated 16 May 2014) and Wikileaks statement are available here.
