Matthew Rimmer, Professor of Intellectual Property and Innovation Law, Faculty of Business and Law, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Australia<i>'In this comprehensive volume, Professor Matthew Rimmer takes a deep dive into the intellectual property chapter of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, now rebranded as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. He covers a wide range of controversial matters including access to essential medicines, cybersquatting, and Indigenous intellectual property. The book is a must read for intellectual property enthusiasts as well as those interested in the significance of the Trans-Pacific Partnership for the future of international trade law.'</i>

'The Trans-Pacific Partnership<i> is the definitive account of a trade agreement that spans the globe with enormous implications for the digital economy, the environment, and climate change. Professor Matthew Rimmer masterfully recounts policy critiques and analysis from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States in crafting a convincing case that after years of closed door negotiations, the agreement fails to deliver a progressive vision for trade, intellectual property, and sustainable development.'</i>

Rimmer considers the intellectual property chapter of the TPP, focusing on the debate over copyright terms, copyright exceptions, intermediary liability, and technological protection measures. He analyses the negotiations over trademark law, cybersquatting, geographical indications, and the plain packaging of tobacco products. The book also considers the debate over patent law and access to essential medicines, data protection and biologics, access to genetic resources, and the treatment of Indigenous intellectual property. Examining globalization and its discontents, the book concludes with policy solutions and recommendations for a truly progressive approach to intellectual property and trade.
This book will be a valuable resource for scholars and students of intellectual property law, international economic law, and trade law. Its practical recommendations will also be beneficial for practitioners and policy makers working in the fields of intellectual property, investment, and trade.
