DESCRIPTION:Le Centre des politiques en propriété intellectuelle accueille 
 Matthew Rimmer (Australian National University College of Law) pour la pre
 mière conférence du cycle Conférence CIPP 2014-2015. Il parlera des questi
 ons soulevées par le Partenariat transpacifique\, un accord de libre-échan
 ge à portée très large qui fait l'objet de négociations secrètes entre les
  Etats-Unis et onze pays côtiers du Pacifique\, dont l'Australie et le Can
 ada.\nRésumé\n(En anglais seulement) The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) i
 s a highly secretive and expansive free trade agreement being negotiated b
 etween the US and eleven Pacific Rim countries\, including Australia and C
 anada.\nThis presentation provides a critical evaluation of key chapters o
 f the TPP - including the intellectual property chapter\; the investment c
 hapter\; the environment chapter\, and the climate change text.\nA draft o
 f the intellectual property chapter of the TPP was leaked by WikiLeaks in 
 November 2013. Julian Assange warned: ‘If instituted\, the TPP’s IP regime
  would trample over individual rights and free expression\, as well as rid
 e roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read\, writ
 e\, publish\, think\, listen\, dance\, sing or invent\; if you farm or con
 sume food\; if you’re ill now or might one day be ill\, the TPP has you in
  its crosshairs.’\nThe draft chapter promoted stronger\, longer copyright 
 protection – with a Mickey Mouse copyright term extension\; tough obligati
 ons on digital locks and technological protection measures\; and harsh civ
 il and criminal penalties for enforcement. The draft chapter has significa
 nt obligations for patent law and data protection for biologics.\nThere is
  also an expansive approach taken to the protection of well-known trademar
 ks\, and a push for criminal penalties and procedures for disclosure of tr
 ade secrets.\nThere has been much controversy over the inclusion of an Inv
 estor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism in the TPP. In Australia\,
  there has been much controversy over Philip Morris challenging Australia’
 s plain packaging of tobacco products under an investment agreement with H
 ong Kong. Senator Peter Whish-Wilson has put forward a bill in the Austral
 ian Senate to ban the inclusion of investor-state dispute settlement claus
 es in trade agreements. In Canada\, there has been an uproar over the acti
 on taken by Eli Lilly against Canada under an ISDS clause in NAFTA over dr
 ug patents. Likewise\, the action by Lone Pine against Canada under an ISD
 S clause in NAFTA over Quebec’s fracking moratorium has received internati
 onal attention.\nThe US Trade Representative maintained that the US has pu
 shed for 'a robust\, fully enforceable environment chapter in the TPP'\, a
 nd Andrew Robb\, the Australian Trade and Investment Minister\, has vowed 
 that the TPP will contain safeguards for the protection of the environment
 . But on 15 January 2014\, WikiLeaks released the draft Environment Chapte
 r of the TPP — along with a report by the Chairs of the Environmental Work
 ing Group. The agreement appears an exercise in greenwashing. Julian Assan
 ge\, WikiLeaks' publisher\, said the leak showed 'The fabled TPP environme
 ntal chapter turns out to be a toothless public relations exercise with no
  enforcement mechanism.' Far from being an ambitious 21st century agreemen
 t\, the TPP provides little in the way of environmental protection of land
 \, water\, air\, or the climate.\nBiographie\n(En anglais seulement) Dr Ma
