WikiLeaks Just Published Part Of A Massive Free-Trade Treaty That's Under Negotiation

• Business Insider
 

WikiLeaks has published a leaked draft from a massive international trade agreement that is currently being negotiated.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) involves a 12-nation regional trade bloc that accounts for almost 40% of global gross domestic product (GDP) and about one-third of all world trade. The U.S. is leading negotiations and expects them to be finished this year. 

WikiLeaks published a draft, dated Aug. 30, that it says is the intellectual property rights chapter of the proposed pact that was debated in the 19th negotiating round.
