CPTPP's US demands for long IP monopolies has been suspended.
http://www.asiantradecentre.org/talkingtrade//tpp11-unpacking-the-suspended-provisions
First, the US had asked for additional time to be added to patents if parties experienced delays. These provisions have been suspended (18.46 and 18.48).
Second, several highly controversial issues related to pharmaceutical patents were removed, including the whole section on biologics (18.51) and patent test data (18.50).
Third, the TPP11 no longer has several sections related to new ways of protecting technology and information, including technological protection measures (TPMs), rights management information, encrypted satellite and cable signals, and safe harbors for internet service providers (ISPs).
Finally, the copyright term length has not been extended to life of the creator plus 70 years, but is reset to life plus 50 years.
