What are the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations?

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a secretive, multi-national trade agreement that threatens to extend restrictive intellectual property (IP) laws across the globe and rewrite international rules on its enforcement.
For more info:  https://www.eff.org/issues/tpp

There was recently a release on Wikileaks.org of the chapter on Intellectual Property, which proves problematic on several fronts and will be discussed at this event: http://wikileaks.org/tpp/

Light refreshments will be provided.
