WikiLeaks release of TPP deal text stokes 'freedom of expression' fears –Intellectual property rights chapter appears to give Trans-Pacific Partnership countries' countries greater power to stop information from going public | 09 Oct 2015 | WikiLeaks has released what it claims is the full intellectual property chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the controversial agreement between 12 countries that was signed off on Monday. TPP was negotiated in secret and details have yet to be published. One chapter appears to give the signatory countries (referred to as “parties”) greater power to stop embarrassing information going public. The treaty would give signatories the ability to curtail legal proceedings if the theft of information is “detrimental to a party's economic interests, international relations, or national defense or national security” – in other words, presumably, if a trial would cause the information to spread…Obama has pledged to make the TPP public but only after the legislation has passed.
