Explain, in terms a high schooler can understand, the Trans Pacific Partnership Intellectual Provisions.

Created by S.H. on February 01, 2014

As most Americans are Users of Intellectual Property rather than Makers of Intellectual Property, it would make sense for the government to explain how a trade agreement with such huge potential ramifications for massive global changes as the Trans Pacific Partnership would affect the people's ability to use Intellectual Property as they see fit. However, since many U.S. citizens do not possess extensive knowledge of copyright law, and consequently have a negative view of large governments and corporations that use legalese mumbo-jumbo to explain their actions, the Intellectual Property Provisions of the Trans Pacific Partnership should be explained in terms so simple and clear that a high schooler from a decent educational background can understand it.
