For developing countries that are party to the treaty, the regulation of intellectual property under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) may create challenges in achieving national objectives, such as public health and access to medicines. Although the treaty itself establishes certain flexibilities for compliance, these are based on the permissiveness already agreed upon within the World Trade Organization (WTO). Additionally, certain provisions of the treaty have been characterized as even more restrictive than the allowances provided by the WTO under the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) and Public Health. Therefore, there is a clear conflict between, on one hand, prioritizing public welfare over private interests and, on the other, adequately protecting private intellectual property rights.
